The ride to the palace was uneventful, the gates unpopulated for once, giving a chance to travel without much questioning, the guards nodding at Tehr at his passing but not seeming to intend to bother him more than they had that day. On the way to the throne room's antechamber Tehr came across a pair of women speaking to one another though.<br/><br/>"...is in place. The shipment may have been delayed by the rough weather, but is selling quickly now." The other woman nod, speaking in return. "It is a shame the fabrics sold so quickly, it seems that whatever happened to the Dale shipment has raised the prices of silk up higher than expected." The first woman was dressed in a uniform of gold, crimson and black, and wearing a black captain's hat on her head. The second woman looking like a clerk of some sort at the palace, but they were talking while moving slowly at the hallway, not in a secure room.<br/><br/>"Ahh!" The first woman paused on noticing Tehr. "Who's this?" She smiled a bit slyly, black curly hair framing a tanned face, the second woman grasping on the captain's sleeve to drag her along to another hallway. "We might be interested in reserving a larger quantity of your next shipment, at a higher price of course, if you were willing to brave the sea to acquire some of this missing silk and help us fill the market share before the end of the month."<br/><br/>As they were moving ahead, Tehr could see the court's majordomo leaving the antechamber ahead, pausing to look at Tehr. "Did you come to see the Queen? Her Majesty has retired to her quarters for the time being, but if its important I may be able to pass the message." Smiling, the well groomed man looked at Tehr curiously.
