Tehr debated seeing if the Queen was free to hear him, but he had nothing to report about the church, nor would she appreciate that being brought up  in public anyways.  Likewise the meeting with they dryad and nymph would be interesting, but nothing worth taking the Queen's time over.  As for the crazed dwarf, that was so far below her pervue it wasn't worth even thinking about.  He really needed to find the master mage and turn over the spell components.<br/><br/>"No thank you," Tehr said to the queen's majordomo who was making the appointments to talk to the queen, "Actually I need to speak with Captain Lilian,"  He nodded towards the captain of the guard so that the majordomo would turn and look at the leather clad woman standing near the queen.   With the Queen's guards, he was sure that Lilian could spare some time, and he really did want Tera to get a good lay of the ball room before tomorrow night.<br/><br/>If Lilian did come over he'd introduce Tera to the captain of the guard and then say his request to her.  Adding that if she could either show Tera the ball room, or have a guardswoman that Lilian trusted show Tera, that he would be grateful.   He told Tera to meet back at his house later when she was satisfied with the location, and then to take as much time as she needed to prepare tonight.  Even as a body guard, she'd be expected to look acceptable at the ball, even if she was along a wall or on a balcony the whole night.<br/><br/>Once Tera was discharged off to see to the ball room,  Tehr would turn back to the Majordomo and say that he needed to speak with the Master Archmage as soon as he could.  He didn't know if any of the three components lost potency over time, but he didn't want to risk it.  Unfortunately, he had no idea how to find the Archmage.  Hopefully the Majordomo could put him in the right direction.   If he caught the Queen's eye during any of this he would smile broadly and bow his head, but would try not to bother her unless she summoned him.
