Trillen nodded slowly. It was true that he had been trained in many different arts.  Not all were for a lady's ears though. "Then what will you need me for? Surely having a reason would go a long way to convincing the king?" Standing up, he moved toward the door and held it open for her. "After you Kate. How long is this dinner going to be?" He was more interested in how long he would have to stand listening to people whisper behind Kate's back. He had only just known her for a few hours, but he was pretty sure if he heard ill words spoken about her he would fly off the handle. Nothing dramatic of course. Just a little punch to the face of the person in question. Really, nothing too terribly bad.
