Elisabeth was paying careful attention to Tehr even as she smiled in a relaxed manner, quirking an eyebrow slightly on hearing him perk up and then pause after his words about the celebration going on. She was smart enough to recognise his thoughtful expression and did not interrupt, instead choosing to wait until he had finished formulating whatever thought he might have in his mind at that time. Truthfully the scenario he had already laid out made her feel a bit tempted to take him up on that idea, but she waited to hear what had made him pause.<br/><br/><em>"I think that an idea has taken root in my head my love.  But it needs time to germinate before it is ready to blossom.  Allow me to have some time to ponder it, and if you enjoy this evening, and wish to pursue this thought further, I may be able to make your wishes reality."</em>He leaned forwards and smiled softly placing his hand on hers as he said,<em>"I desire to make you happy, as you know.  So tell me, what would make you happy this evening?"</em><br/><br/>There was no question on her mind that his idea would be something very entertaining when he was ready, though the fact he wasn't going to hint at just yet also made her feel a bit tempted to try and find out. Yet she also found it amusing enough that a part of her wanted to let him keep his secret until later to enjoy the surprise all the more when it was ready and done.<br/><br/><strong>"I am quite curious on what you may have going on in that sharp mind of yours, but I will trust you to pick the moment of revelation as you best see fit. While I wonder how you would make it happen, I am going to look forward to witnessing your abilities for myself in due time."</strong>She chuckled merrily and gazed at him while shifting in her seat, legs uncrossed and then crossed again the other way around, her eyes following his as she spoke up in a slightly more teasing tone of voice.<strong>"As for this evening, I am pleased to have a chance to meet and see those you share your time with, and I am not going to lie, the little idea you spoke before does send a thrill along my back. I am quite confident in the loyalty of my guard, but beyond them and you, I have been wary of pursuing things further."</strong><br/><br/>Squeezing his hand gently she brought it up to kiss on his fingertips as she then gazed at his face quite amused.<strong>"With the people within willing to keep silence about the games within, I think I would like to explore that which I could not explore beyond these halls before. An idea of such delightful debauchery as joining my lover and another certainly evokes some rather delightful images in my mind, though I would wonder if there would be oils to ease such games..."</strong>She smirked faintly.<strong>"I admit I also hope that my companion would learn to relax a bit more too, so hopefully the others may lure her to experiment a tad more."</strong><br/><br/>Softly squeezing his hand between hers, she stroked her thumbs along his palm before bringing the hand up to her cheek while leaning closer to his own face, gazing at him and speaking in a slightly more husky tone, legs uncrossed and rising up to lean a bit over his desk.<strong>"Besides, I feel I have a bit of... 'catching up' to do... with our fellow guests."</strong>She leaned forth to reach out behind his head to pull him closer to a kiss over the desk, looking quite ready to brush anything in the way aside just to grasp onto him then and there.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I imagine the Queen would have some thrilling images in mind after the previous scene, and more than happy to join the others as well as spending time talking with him and relaxing, but I can easily understand if real life timing is poor for this kind of scene right now, especially after previous pauses and writing. <br/><br/>That said, if you like a simple roll could be made for festivities moving on towards more cuddling moments as well as talk amongst a few more people, she could be persuaded to not partake in the games and focus on other things as well but at the same time it is a bit of a rare situation where she'd be actually looking to push him into treating her not as a noble woman but as someone just looking for a delightful thrill without titles or dominance in the image necessarily. Not sure if that comes out right but eh.<br/><br/>Considered back and forth on writing a longer scene, time-skipping ahead a tad more or altering this entirely and dropping the more eros side but ended up back here at the end.</div></div>
