Tera smirked while listening to Tehr, chatting in a relaxed manner through the meal, and enjoying it, even if her manners were not high culture she was not being grass and sharing in the talk with a bit of wit and charm. Smile crossing her lips as the two adjourned to the sitting room soon enough. As she was waiting for the drink, Tera raised a brow at Tehr's question, shrugging faintly after it had been spoken.<br/><br/>"The court members always seem eager to try and shift more power into their hands. While the Queen makes the last decisions, ideas and how they are presented may determine much." She shrugged agaign, reaching out for the glass then. "I know the House Saari has its hopes on ousting the House Dale from its position, even if it might not rise there itself. I am reasonably sure you knew that, but in anycase." She took a breath.<br/><br/>"I am not hired by them now, anyway. I am here as myself. I failed the hunt though the House Saari did get credit for having a champion along in a dangerous fight and coming back alive aside the victorious person." She sat her glass on the table. "On a more personal note, it made sure I would have more work in the future too."<br/><br/>That said, she smiled a little slyly. "So, I thought I'd see if you are as<em>unrelenting</em>in other matters than<em>hunting</em>as well." She chuckled. "Of course, I know there's a gap between social classes and all but I'm doing alright for myself, and I would enjoy your company. You also seem willing to treat a common person with friendliness some nobles only reserve to those they think are as powerful as them." She chuckled at this. "So, you may be a noble, but you are not an asshat." Tera drew a short breath before continuing, her expression more serious again. "If you are unwilling to pursue a moment, I will accept that, but I did think you might be willing to entertain the idea of entertaining me." Her words were a bit forward, but at the same time a bit avoidant.
