Tehr spread his arms wide and nodded, as if graciously accepting the womans word.  In fact he had often learned to trust in the wisdom of servants, they often heard things that those of a higher station did not.<strong>  "I'm sure that you have duties to attend miss, but I beg just a few more moments of your time.  I have learned to value greatly the skills of talented and alert men and women who work hard, as I'm sure you must.  I know that my own house would crumble if not for the trusted members of my staff who make my daily routine possible.  In turn they have come to trust me and know that in return for their diligence, I protect and care for them equally.  Because of this, I am trusted by those in my employ, and know that they often hear things I do not."</strong><br/><br/>He leaned his staff against the wall and took a few steps closer to her, not close enough to spook her just enough to seem less distant,<strong>"If you ask that I do not repeat your opinion on the frenchman, I will gladly do so, with no recompense needed.  I do it only because you asked.  I do wonder however, if there is any other thoughts you wish to share on the frenchman, or rumors heard about him that maybe only heard by those who serve the palace, and not the nobility who are too pompous to listen to the proud people who serve?  I too serve in a way you see, I serve the queen's wishes, and it makes my heart sing with joy to do so." </strong>He took a chance with this comment, assuming that the young woman enjoyed her position as a queen's maid.  If she did then it should help to ingratiate himself to the woman, if however she did not enjoy her job, it might seem that they were at odds.  Still it was a calculated risk, as he doubted anyone served the queen who did not want it.<strong> "I wish only to help her in whatever way I can, so if there is information you might have, that might help to influence how I advise and assist her, I pray that you tell me with the knowledge that I may act on it, but will do so in confidence."<br/></strong><br/>He beamed the biggest smile possible.  Servants always had a different way of looking at matters and he'd like to get her opinion of things.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Just incase you need it:<br/><br/>Roll Result: rhev rolled: 1d20, adding 14 to the total<br/>Comment: Tehr diplomacy check<br/>Result: 8, <br/>Total: 22</div></div>
