He rolled his eyes at Gerrard’s lecherous comments.<em>Definitely his mother’s son. </em>He thought he may have seen some discomfort when he kissed Lenally’s hand; but he could see the obvious burning anger in her eyes from Gerrard's comments. After spending months fighting with Juliette on the eastern front, He wasn’t in the mood for him to ruin relations with the Aserits. He put his hand on his shoulder, squeezing it hard, digging his fingers into him. He spoke low under his breath. “If you manage to keep the lecherous comments away from the Aserit royalty, you can visit my pleasure house for a month on me. I assure you the women there are better than the castle serving girls”<br/><br/><br/>He watched as the Aserit royalty went off to their room. He smiled to Lenally. “I’m going off to my solar, it’s the one in the eastern wing, you’re free to come visit and practise swords with me, if you would so wish?” He ran his fingers through his long hair. “Juliette your welcome to come spar as well, in fact any Aserits who wish to may join me.” He bowed once more and departed.<br/><br/><br/>Leonardo had acquired himself one of the largest rooms in the vast palace that was Castle Theiri; only the royal’s quarters were bigger.

Off from there was a small personal library, and His personal Chambers, All decorated in dark ebony wood and light marble furnishings. The chamber led onto a balcony, which had his prize and joy, a telescope, which he would use to watch the stars. He poured himself a drink, taking a book from his library, and sat on the balcony, taking a moment to relax whilst he waited to see if anyone would join him.<br/>
