She waved her hand in dismissal of the idea. "A letter confirming your acceptance of the position." She tapped the letter that Emma had brought while the others set up dinner. "I wasn't exactly expecting you to reject the offer, but I figured I'd wait to send it off until you had actually confirmed. It'll go out with the others once it's got your signature." Anyanka took a moment, not minding to talk while eating, but definitely wanting to finish her glass of wine. 

"At the moment, I'd say he'll be gone for another week or two. But that's subject to change." It was as close of an estimate as she could give. "Until then, you'll spend your time in the interim gathering what belongings you wish to move with you into the palace. I'll keep you at my side to show you what I expect of you on my end, before Stafford makes sure you're.." She paused, and her eyes once more roamed. "_fit_ for the position."

Anya couldn't quite tell if he was being humble in saying he had few belongings he would need, and her brow quirked a bit. "This home will serve as your home, Lord Cromwell. You're welcome to it the same as myself and my own, considering you will be one of mine." She told him, and shifted a bit in her seat, swirling the wine in her glass before taking another drink. He finished his, so she moved to refill it and her own while she was at it. 

What an honor, to be served by the Queen. 

"You'll serve as my personal protector. You'll train the knights being brought up through the ranks in the newly rebuilt Knight's Landing. You'll assist Commander Stafford in anything he may need, and assure the uniformity of those who wield a weapon in my name." Her silver eyes moved to his, and she grinned. 

"You'll be my sword and shield, and you'll assure several generations of successors beneath you to continue the mantle once you've passed. The best heir a man could ever wish for, Lord Cromwell, is one that sits at a Queen's side. And that shall be you and yours."
