He felt comfortable holding her hand, perhaps more so than he had ever before. He smiled again when she suggested that she felt safe in his presence.<br/><br/>When they approached Cooper, he smiled at the man and a smile was returned. He listened as Rowena spoke to Cooper and when she had finished, he introduced her to Cooper. “Cooper, my good man, this is Lady Rowena, a very good friend of mine. You might recall her from that night at the Winterstones?”<br/><br/>Cooper indeed did recall her. Someone of such beauty would not go unnoticed by the man, even if it was just a brief encounter. “Oh yes, you must be the reason why the Major has been suffering for the last few weeks. Such sentences as Rowena this… and Rowena that... You were all he would speak about…” Tyler playfully kicked his man softly in the leg, in regard to the comment. “Please Cooper, know your place.” He smiled at Cooper and Cooper smiled back. “Just yanking your chain, Major, you know that.” His face soon changed from a smile to a less jovial expression, upon the mention of the hound. “Yes perhaps a cup of tea would help in the digestion of the stories regarding the hound.”<br/>
