Tehr raised one eyebrow at guard captain Lilian.  This was a new development, though in fairness he hadn't brought a guest before the queen since the assassination attempt, so it might have been a policy that had been in place since that time.  Normally he was allowed in with his quarterstaff.  He thought that as the prince consort, he might be allowed to keep it as well if he pushed the issue.  But as he saw Duke Caeldor disarming, he knew that diplomacy was far more important than anything else.  So he gladly turned over his quarterstaff with a smile, knowing he could always call it to his hand within one hundred feet if he needed.  Then reaching inside the sleeves of his robe, he unstrapped the brace of throwing knives that he kept strapped to his magical bracer and likewise turned those over.  His belt knife, which he sometimes wore, he'd been carrying less and less over the last few weeks, and wasn't wearing today, so that was all he had that could be considered a weapon.<br/><br/>He smirked and mentally allowed himself to add that the only other weapon he had was a part of his body and was only really dangerous to a woman's virtue.  As prince consort he highly doubted Queen Elizabeth would want him detached from THAT weapon.<br/><br/>Still while Tehr was friendly with the duke, he knew that Tehr and the Queen were lovers and that Tehr was the prince consort.  While Tehr didn't have much in the way of offensive magic, the duke HAD to know that Tehr was never helpless anywhere he went even if disarmed.  Though Tehr considered that there was a good chance that the elven duke likewise might not be harmless just because he was disarmed as well.  One didn't live to be an old soldier without being good at their job after all.<br/><br/>Still it was with high hopes that they pushed into the queen's quarters behind the guard captain.  Tehr beamed a smile as he waited for the Queen to enter, glad to see her in this more private setting, and hoping that things with her and the duke went amicably this evening, ready to help facilitate whatever process he could.
