Ah, he wasn't buying the friendly drunk act.  Well, Tehr would hold it for a little bit just incase anyone else were observing.  But he responded to Johr first loud enough for people to hear, "I think you're just afraid of being schooled again on the game boards my friend."<br/><br/>Then he'd drop his voice lower so that hopefully only Johr ir'Dale would be able to hear, "As for the halfling woman," he lied smoothly, "Well, you understand how it is.  Sometimes you must appear to be with one person to allay suspicions about another.  She was nothing more than a convenient excuse."  Tehr hoped that the man held a disdain for non human races, and if a true follower of the church, some misogynistic tendencies as well.  If he did they would only lend credence to the lie that Tehr didn't care about Emily and was only using her as a ruse.  The last thing he needed or wanted at this moment was for ir'Dale to focus attentions on Emily or her house.<br/><br/>"As for what I really needed to talk to you about," Tehr said switching gears, "I don't know if the rumors are true or not, but I've been hearing whispers that you've been playing your hand against me.  I want you to simply know that any actions, that I can prove came from you, that are taken against my family or my servants will be met with an unreasonable response.  I say this not as a threat, but a warning.  It has been many years since house Wynt was seen at court, but know that I am only one half ir'Wynt.  My mother, Lady d'Montacello d'Wynt raised me with the fiery passion so often attributed to those of Romana descent."<br/><br/>With that he would snap and turn from Johr ir'Dale, completely dismissing and ignoring the man.  He would turn towards the Queen, and hoping that his guise of slight inebriation was still holding he'd approach her directly.  "M'Queen," he'd say as he approached her, "I've enjoyed this ball immensely so far, you must share a glass of wine with me."  He would attempt to take her hand and kiss it, and would whisper as loudly as he dared, "It is time for us to go your highness."<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc bluff roll</div><div class="spoiler_body">Bluff roll<br/>http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37773 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37773)<br/>d20 + 9 = 28<br/>yay, a roll that doesn't suck... and this one important... hopefully it will throw ir'Dale off the scent of d'Ravos.</div></div>
