After her conversation with Byerly in the cell block, Deanna is more than a little angry at Byerly, but no amount of frustration with him will keep her from doing what's right, what she promised to do. So, after giving herself time to cool off and prepare for what's bound to be a difficult conversation, she goes in search of Zahal. As a rule, she doesn't interact much with the general - his concern is the war, which is something she wants to detach herself from as much as possible. But in this case, there's no one else to go to.

The library, admittedly, is not the first place she looks and she's surprised to find him there. Staying a respectful distance back, she bows her head slightly, and asks, "General? Might I have a moment of your time?"
