"I will meet with Emily d'Ravos and explain the situation." Tehr said after a moment's consideration, "within reason of course.  I'll explain that I'll need to escort you out of the ball.  I think that she will understand the needs of the queen outweigh both her and my own personal needs.  I'll see if she can't make an excuse to leave at some point... even if it's with another nobleman.  My own reputation won't be hurt in the least if I'm seen leaving with the Queen later."<br/><br/>Tehr nodded, knowing that he'd have a busy few days before the ball.  Meeting with House Saari, meeting again with Emily d'Raavos, and hoping she takes the plan or news with some grace.  That was going to be an interesting conversation to say the least.
