I raise my arm and signal to remain silent.
Then I squint my eyes and try to get an impression of the figure. I try to estimate how big it is, if it's dangerous.
What does it do? What species does it seem to be?

The figure is hidden behind the intervening tables and chairs. Moving quietly to gt a better look you guess it to be a medium sized humanoid of some kind. However it is hunched over and crouched low, preventing a clear view without moving well into the room. What you can see are old tattered cloths that are the only dirty thing you have seen in the Library. You hear faint mummerings coming from the figure.

I make a hand gesture to indicate Stay here, i got this
Using my mimic feature, I turn in to my best approximation of McReadus.
I approach the figure from his blind spot as quietly as I can (roll stealth).
Once close I'll do my best McReadus voice (roll deception) and say
Have you found everything you are looking for? Two other patrons have also requested access to this room. I have made certain they will behave appropriately.
Remembering what McReacus said to Shmautz...
Remember, library materials are not to leave the premises.
Then I'll turn and drift away.

Impersonating the Ghost? LOL, that's nice. coming! The old man screams while waiving a small cracked crystal. Still stooped and showing extreme age the man appears to be a filthy, malnourished, and frantic human.
As he sees the Librarian he mutters I didn't disturb the books. See see? they are all neat and clean, neat and clean and falls to incoherent mumbling as he sinks lower and lower once again until he sits on the floor playing with his crystal.

Seren as MacR sides back over the Shmautz with a wink and returns to her preferred form. He's not a threat, just a little lost in his mind. Any idea whats he's talking about?
Seren starts rifling through her pack for something to eat, which she will share with the fellow to see if she can get answers.

No, not really. I've been to a building that was full of vines on the outside, but not flowers. And it was no castle either.
I also have been in a castle, but it was full of undead soldiers and no flowers at all. So ... I have no idea what he's talking about.
Is the information helpful for you?
We should talk to him. Servitor? Anything in here, we have to do?
I turn to the Servitor to check his reaction.

"Okay, got you. Thank you, little friend."
I turn to Seren.
"You think he's harmless? Should we talk to him again? Maybe we'll get some hints from him? Either for you or for the little fellow here ..." and I point to the Servitor.
Then I fix my clothes, lick my whiskers, straighten my back and approach the figure. Though it's a long time ago, I try to remember all the manners I've used as a Valet to be polite.
"Good day, sir.
Please apologize the disturbance, but you are the very first person we meet in some time - especially in here. So I wonder what brought you here and if you'd mind exchanging some information.
My name is Shmautz from the clan of the Predator Paws of the tribe of the Sun Furs. And these are my dear friends Seren and Servitor.
May I ask your name?
May I offer you this to proof our goodwill?" And so I hand him some of the food.

As you moved over too the man you glance into the adjoining rooms
(7 - Study) You see a chamber filled with simple furniture, including tables and benches.
(9 - Lounge) You see a well lit room with comfortable furniture including couches, plush chairs, side tables, and desks with chairs. (11 - Study) Looking into the room beyond you can tell this room was once a study. The room is furnished wish small tables for individual or small groups and there are an assortment of books and papers neatly organized throughout the room (12) At the back of the area is a heavy metal door.
Doors block you from looking into rooms to the north-east and north-west

I head to the metal door, as I think Servitor wants us to go there. The door sticks out between the other furniture and overall look. I don't touch the door yet, as I wan to have a look from nearby first.

The heavy metal door lacks a handle but does have a key hole as well as an odd bar across its width that can be pressed inwards towards the door. (door push bar) The walls around it are of heavy stone, like those you passed through upon entering the building. This is likely a rear exit.

Before Seren follows, she'll root around in her herbalist pack for a branch of ash with a nice compound leaf and a cluster of firm red berries and leave it on the man's work station hoping that the magic in ash might help him escape wherever he's trapped.
She senses the beginning of this some obsessive madness in her and makes a note not to stray to far from human contact. A weird thought for someone who spent so long alone, but it feels right.
When she catches up to Shmaautz,
Is this the end? Do we have anything to bring back to base?

Hm, I don't know. This seems to be a dead end. This door and I'm pointing at the metal does not seem to open or reveal anything. Maybe we should just head back. I have to search more carefull to fit Servitor's needs.
It's a pitty that the guy over there isn't a help. Someone who's in here reading a lot also knows a lot - for sure. It's sad, that his mind seems so .... bungled.
Did you leave him some food?I turn around to reorientate.
