Tehr nodded at the queen, "It would be my greatest honor and pleasure to spend some time in private with you my queen."  He specifically left the terms open, not limiting them to just a glass of wine.  Now that they were out of the public view, he dropped the fake inebriation act.  He'd had only two drinks in the entire time they'd been at the ball.  "I wish to talk to you about matters most political, but maybe not tonight.  I would hate to think that you were overloaded on such things while at the ball."<br/><br/>Tehr quietly seethed with rage, but was working hard to not let it show.  He, like the Queen, had not enjoyed most of the ball.  He was not a good dancer and could still hear others laughing at him.  If such an event even occured or not, it was moot.  He imagined it to be so, and so it burned him.  The general way that the nobility dismissed Emily, and to a lesser extent ir'Forgefist annoyed him.  Johr's smug attitude and worse, attitude towards Emily d'Ravos infuriated him.  He was also annoyed that Johr had been right about one thing, there was a very good chance that the machinations out of his house had nothing to do with Johr, for some reason Tehr had assumed that Johr was the mastermind in the house, but now he was being forced to consider that maybe it was another member of house Dale pulling strings.  But the worst was the implication that Emily d'Ravos, a noblewoman, was street trash simply because she was not human, and that Johr might....  No... he couldn't let his thoughts take that dark turn.  Not when he was escorting the Queen to her private chambers.  He knew that she'd be safe tonight at least with Tera watching her, that would have to be enough.  He found that he was developing quite the soft spot for the petite but oh so strong woman.<br/><br/>The sound of the leather boots of the queen's personal guard echoed the halls behind Tehr and the Queen as they walked to her chambers.  Tehr was glad that at the moment, he didn't recognize any of the guard.  Especially Lilian, who aroused him.  When he got angry, sometimes his anger turned to lust.  If tonight he was going to be with the queen, she would receive the full treatment.  He bowed his head to the guards as they opened the Queen's private chambers and the two of them entered the plus lounge.  Finally he felt free to talk, "I will not bore you with politics tonight my queen.  Instead, if you would allow me, perhaps I can salvage this night for you?  Since you did not receive the enjoyment of life that you should have at the ball, maybe I can grant you that here, in private?"
