Johr narrowed his eyes as he watched Tehr, but said nothing right away, nodding briefly at the comment on understanding how it was. It seemed to be enough reason for him to ignore her for the time being, smirking briefly and shrugging. "I have to admit I've not thought of doing something like a halfling at the past, perhaps it'd be worth checking out. Street scum comes in all races anyway." Shrugging briefly and looking at Tehr intently then though he spoke warily at the accusation.<br/><br/>"I am just one of my house, there's more than one side of it. I understand my sister took it rather hard you turned her down the way you did, but that's none of my business. I'm not exactly happy at my wife's side so what do I know about good women?" He smirked somewhat but turned to move aside, pulling out a pipe from his pocket while moving towards a balcony, another pulling a package of crushed leaves from another pocket.<br/><br/>The Queen in turn seemed to welcome the break though, seeming to have had enough of the crowding around her for the time being. "I think that it would be appropriate. This ball is for socialisation and enjoyment of life, not to talk business." He cast a sharp look at the courtiers briefly before moving along with him to head out of the room. The crowd began to whisper some but none seemed keen on interrupting the two of them, especially after what had transpired a little earlier.<br/><br/>Johr ir'Dale was out of sight at the balcony and missed the two of them leaving, but Tera was standing near Emily, the two of them seeming to be talking to the dwarven man still, though Emily's gaze turned his way. She was actually a bit easier to spot near the dwarven man, given the crowd seemed to have gathered to dance a bit further off for most part.<br/><br/>As soon as Tehr and the Queen left the ballroom behind though, the Queen drew a deep breath and sighed. "That was certainly a ball that I would have not missed if it was cancelled." She cast a look at Tehr. "Thank you for holding onto your part of the matter, would you wish to have that glass of wine together? I'm headed back to the chambers afterall."
