<strong>Henrik with Lenally and Erin in the Burgundy Room </strong><br/><br/>He followed along, like a quiet phantom, making little noise save for the occasional slight creak of his breast plate, or the lightest of taps from his iron-toed leather traveling boots. He watched Lenally and Erin's interaction quietly. He did not fully trust the fool; she was clearly very intelligent and also a Theiri. That warranted her being watched like a hawk.<br/><br/>Although, thus far, she has turned out to be a great friend for Lenally. He liked this, it would make their time here easier. Henrik, however, being the protective man he was, was just wary of this being some plot. After all, they could take Lenally hostage pretty easily (compared to anyone else), and that would be a powerful bargaining chip.<br/><br/>"I'm sure you will soon enough, Lenally. Remember, though, their are two things that are very important to a soldier: Food and rest. You can't march or fight if your stomach's busy complaining about a lack of food, and you certainly can't win a fight if you're struggling to hold your eyes open."  This is something that he's told her plenty of times before, and likely, he will tell her plenty of times more in the future. Not because she needed to be reminded; he was absolutely certain she took every lesson, no matter how impromptu, to heart. This was merely him underlining the lesson.<br/><br/>"I'll make sure to get the book from my belongings and bring it to you after dinner, alright, Lenally? Speaking of which..." He would turn to follow Erin, just for a little while, down the hall. "I have heard that Theiri chef's are quite skilled, and I am eager to see how well they can roast a chicken.  Would you be so kind as to pass my request along, along with one other?" The question hung in the air for only a moment. "The Princess, Juliette. I would like to speak to her some time this evening, if it is convenient for her to do so." And at this point, Henrik has probably cemented himself as the one with the most manners of the Aserit...<br/><br/>Once he got a response from her, he would leave her to go to his room, where his body guard had already done a thorough sweep of it, much like his father had done in his and the Queen's room.<br/><br/>And speaking of bodyguards... Averille and Leofwine would find their way into Lenally's room, while Leon stood outside.<br/><br/>Once everybody was in their respective rooms, the Bloody Raven's posted outside would occasionally wander along the hallway, peering out windows and into other areas of the castle, but never leaving the general vicinity.  Some times, they'd stop and mingle with each other, quietly; out of respect to their wards, and not because they were worried about being scolded. Henrik allowed them to chatter when on duty, because he knew they would anyways. Also, on a long guard shift, a lively conversation could aid in keeping the soldiers awake and alert.
