The guardswomen moved at his directions quickly, and the young lad that got too far into the games he couldn't hope to survive from was left whimpering slightly at the thoughts of what might happen to him, but nodding his head a little shakily at the time. He seemed to be fearing his own fate for now, but waiting quietly. Not like he had a choice. Guardswomen kept watch on him, and one was at each entrance keeping him from fleeing even if he wasn't watched after for some reason.<br/><br/>As Tehr addressed the rest of the kitchen staff, there was a serious look on the two sommelier's faces, and the cooks looked more than angry about it, casting narrow eyed looks at the boy. The head chef actually grasped the meat-cleaver and turned to face the lad but the guardswoman's glare besides him, and hand on her swordhilt, seemed to settle the cook's anger. "Fucking traitor. Piss-ass bastard goat-humper streetrat you are..." He growled at the young man's direction, voicing his opinion rather clearly, for all his appearance of dignity and manners, the cook sounded like this was still -restrained- cursing on his part. On that note, his loyalty to the royal family was rather clear, and more so holding the food coming from his kitchen as sacred.<br/><br/>The crowd seemed to listen to him intently as he described the situation and what was expected. They nodded approvingly, though the younger sommelier spoke nervously. "I have a pregnant wife at home, could it be possible for someone to deliver a word to her to call for her sister to aid her if I am held for more than a few days?" He sounded concerned, but not really fighting his situation either. Mostly just raising a question. This earned a look from the guardswomen that seemed to want to know his stance about the matter before saying anything.<br/><br/>The lieutenant had been waiting a moment as he spoke, turning to look at him and smiling faintly. "You handle things like a natural. Did you receive some officer's training in your past or is this... all you?" She asked calmly, her choice of words seeming intent to not insult, yet at the same time showing she held respect for him and the older cook, where as she looked at the more scared lads, kitchen helpers, with little more than annoyance and indifference, doing her duty being alert but not really taking a notice at them otherwise. Some of the lads were pretty charming too, might have grown into woman-pleasing faces in time too, but it seemed the lt. was looking at him solely at that. "Ah well, I should carry out these orders though. My apologies, My Lord."<br/><br/>Lt. Whitestone took to her task swiftly, directing the group towards guest-quarters, getting to sleep far better than most would expect from their social status, but they were rooms that could easily be watched. For a good reason too, those rooms were originally built so that any spies sent to the court to serve as 'handmaidens to the queen' back in the King's reign in old times, could be kept at one location and easily watched. After all, a woman out of her chambers at night had to travel one direct hallway and could easily be noticed. Leaving those chambers then would certainly mark one as someone with more than simple interests.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, his journey back to the Queen's chamber was unhindered, and the door opened for him to pass, the two guards watching her room's door allowing him to step past them. The door was locked but opened after a brief knock, allowing him to enter, finding the queen seated. Thing was, she was seated on a bed's edge. Her voice seeming a touch awkward at the time. "That was far too direct attack on my person for me to pass it off as nothing, and seeing someone I consider a friend hurt like that is worse. At least she'll recover, but the poison apparently already did some harm to her, and it'll take some days to recover. I shudder to think what would have happened without a healer." She looked at Tehr at this and shook her head. "I hoped to relax and perhaps invite the captain to join us both for a while, getting her out of her armor in another way. That plan was razed to the ground. Would you think of me poorly if I asked you to return to me about it once she has recovered? Right now I really am not sure what to think." She sighed, but was ready to listen to Tehr for what he had to say or share.
