Galahad has, now, a secret. He doesn't often have them -- if there's information he isn't sharing, it's because it doesn't occur to him that anyone would care about it, or he hasn't decided to have the conversation yet. This is different. This is a secret, known only to Claudius and God, who knows all the deep and secret things, and what is in the darkness; but Claudius will keep it for him as long as he asks, he knows, and God and the light dwelleth with him no longer.
It's a secret that requires action, and Galahad intends to act, but in the meantime he has a promise to keep for Claudius.
He meets with Grantaire on a schedule that's somewhat irregular, which he endures because he likes Grantaire and because it's nice to work with him, because Grantaire always has something helpful to say when Galahad asks him for advice on his sketches, and because he's always interesting when Galahad asks about his own work. Today he has his sketchbook with him as usual when he arrives at the cafe, fully expecting to see Grantaire in his usual place.
It's a secret that requires action, and Galahad intends to act; linearity being what it is, he makes his way to the parlor where Lan Wangji likes to meditate with the rabbits.
