During a lull between hunters, Tehr leaned over and asked Angelique what she thought of Tera, if she'd be interested in joining him if he were to invite her back to the manor house this or some other evening.  In the past she'd not shown much hesitation for enjoying the pleasures of a woman's flesh with him, but he was concerned that Tera may appear different.  That Angelique might find her, for lack of a better word, a rival for Tehr's affections.<br/><br/>If Tera was a noble, there'd be no issues, because a noble and a servant were on different levels.  Any noble woman that Tehr bedded would be a potential, no matter how small that potential, match for Tehr as a wife.  However when Tehr bedded servants, they were on the same level as Angelique.  While Tehr doubted he'd ever hold any servant in as high esteem as Angelique, who was also truly his friend, he knew that women often thought in strange and jealous ways.<br/><br/>Regardless of her response, he also asked her to look into the house Ravos, specifically the halfling woman Emily.  She had to be some form of nobility, for commoners wouldn't use the "<em>d' or ir'</em>" appellate before their names.  Unless she was just feigning nobility for the hunt, which was of course possible.<br/><br/>Later when Tera kissed him, he was as shocked as those around.  But pleasantly so.  He fought the urge to kiss her back, afraid of how it may look to the assorted nobles.  It was one thing for a servant to display emotion to a noble, but another thing entirely for a noble to make an advance in public, towards a servant.  He didn't want anyone thinking that he'd laid claim on this woman before he knew what her intentions were.  As she walked away he felt the rolled up scroll in his pouch with her words.  He'd have to read that soon, he thought to himself.<br/><br/>He was pleasantly surprised when he was declared the winner.  He thought that his tact hadn't been that effective, but apparently he was a better public speaker than he gave himself credit for.  Following the announcer, he quickly tried to straighten his hair and clothing before ducking into the queen's tent.  Nervous about what he might find there.
