"You are willing to take the assassins place, then I shall not stop you, but I urge you to caution and to make sure the guards are not far away so that they can move up to help finish this as fast as possible then. Take two of my Guard along with you." The queen turned to glance at the Guard Captain Lilian, who nod her head in acceptance. "I'll have two of them ready before you leave."<br/><br/>The assassin was escorted to a jail cell under the palace for now, not risking a transfer to another location. The simple cell would do for the time being, with the assassin disarmed and bound. In the meanwhile, the Queen stepped closer to Tehr with nobody else in the room but her, Lilian, and Tehr. "You are putting yourself under serious risk. Hopefully the rewards will be worth it. If you can obtain proof of the identity of the one arranging such an attack, you have a nail to their coffin lid." Her expression was serious, the Queen looked ready to bury a particular vile family alive for what they had done so far.<br/><br/>As the two guards-women soon arrived, Tehr found himself looking at one woman he didn't recognise, but the other was a familiar one. Moira, a woman that had joined him and the Queen in the night in the past. Her expression went from serious to amused and a little surprised on seeing Tehr, pausing near Lilian who swiftly whispered her instructions to Moira. The other guards-woman looked at Tehr seriously, taking a step closer.<br/><br/>"Lord Tehr ir'Wynt? I knew your father. Honorable man. You might not remember me, but I visited your family estate from time to time. I am one of the Queen's messengers, and regulars in making tours around the kingdom. I am here because I understood you might appreciate a swift-footed and experienced woman watching your back." Her expression was at ease but at the same time she seemed to be sizing him up somewhat as she stood there. She didnt look that old, but there was a look of age in her eyes even if her form was not ravaged by the passing of time. "Though I am curious if you remember my name? I am not sure if you ever heard it but your father did love to tease me by it."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Image, SFW</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs28/300W/i/2008/046/b/1/Amazon_by_sammykaye1.jpg)<br/><br/>I figured it would be an Intelligence check to test Tehr's memory, if he retains such a bit of information after a long time, but did a quick roll to speed things up, and he should remember it just fine. I can either give her a name in the next post, or you can pick one if you wish. I hope you approve of the character image.</div></div>
