Tehr bowed to Ironna, "I thank you m'lady."  He didn't bother with any more suggestive words as the spell was short in duration and would have worn off by now.  But hopefully it worked to arouse the woman and peak her interest in the young nobleman.  "I will try to come back later tonight and see how these events have played out."<br/><br/>Spotting Tera and the guards returning he gestured to the lion's body still strapped to the back of Blondie.  He noted that not only were his clothes now blood stained, but Blondie needed a good washing and scrub down as her flanks were splattered with lion blood.  "M'lady Ironna, may I ask that you prepare this lion's corpse that my companion and I captured today?  If you can prepare the hide into a rug or wall hanging, the meat and rest of the corpse is yours in return."<br/><br/>Then he turned to the large pack of guards and gestured to the sleeping dwarf, "Good guardsmen, please be gentle with him, if you strike him he shall awake.  If you're careful you could have him in a jail cell before he rouses."<br/><br/>Tehr certainly would have some explaining to do and would try to be thorough as he could, but tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.  He'd call for a carriage to take him to the palace from his house, and then go there to wash and change.  Then he would take Tera to the palace and see if he couldn't track down Lilian and ask her to assign a guardswoman to show Tera to the location the ball was being held.  He wanted his body guard to be familiar with the location and with the venue for tommorow night, just to be safe.<br/><br/>Once all of that was done, and barring any other unforseen surprises, he would track down the master mage to deliver these components.  Of course... with Angelique and Heidi now sharing the house for a short time, he didn't doubt that there might be a surprise or two waiting for him at the house.<br/><br/>He sighed as he pulled the lion's corpse off Blondie's back and passed it to Ironna.  Blondie would have to have a good bath and scrub down, he hoped Angelique would be up to it, or at least could find some other servant who could.
