Gavin nodded, standing. "It has been a long night for us all. Comtesses, your rooms are ready if you wish to retire." He bent low to Honore and whispered, "I will be in the gardens later, if you still wish to view them."<br/><br/>Looking at Prince Tansen, he said, "You may see your brother tonight. Please, stress to him that the Ritter Hex do not play games. It would be best that he either refrain from all magical activity here, or keep it to the confines of your rooms."<br/><br/>Turning to Martinez, he motioned that he wanted to talk to the man. He brought Martinez to the library, not realizing they were followed. Leaning against a chair, Gavin said, "I'm not quite sure how to say this, Lord Martinez. It concerns my sister. You had a chance to meet her, I'm sure you can understand why I'd worry about her." Looking down, Gavin tried to think of how to continue.<br/><br/>"Diane needs a husband," Gavin said. "Father wants, in the interest of peace, for her to marry the Loidite prince. I am uncomfortable with that idea. That would give them access to the throne and the kingdom. I need to keep her safe from that, to keep Anstaria safe. I think a marriage between Anstaria and Danbar will help matters, and further our political relationship."
