Before he closes the door to his chambers, he once again gently turns her to face him as he says, "I swear that my decision was made before you came here, that you chose to lay with me did not alter that in any way."<br/><br/>His hand does not leave her, his eyes on hers as he says, "I will also promise that you will be involved in the revenge you seek, I just need to be certain that you will not seek swift justice, trust me in the fact that their fall will be slow and painful, a lesson to others to chose who they stir more carefully."<br/><br/>Still he holds her a moment then moves into her and holds her close, kissing her gently as he whispers, "Go and tend your duties, your need to do that is one reason you were chosen...Then come back to me, to us, there is work to be done."
