"Angelique my dear," Tehr said as his hand went to his forehead and he closed his eyes against the hangover that kept threatening to return. "You preformed admirably, as always.  I hope you didn't mind the familiarity, but it appears that ir'Dale has an eye for the beautiful, and I didn't want him taking liberties with you."<br/><br/>Tehr paused, "At least, not without my permission anyways."  He smiled at the pretty young blonde half elf.  Tehr knew that he hadn't been her only lover, but to date, he'd never loaned her out to anyone else.  Not that he was particularly jealous or possessive of her.  But Tehr figured what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him on that respect.  He turned back to his meal and grimaced.  The smart thing to do would be to eat up every last bite, and drink a little wine, cut with water.  It was a much better cure for the hangover than going back to bed would be, no matter how much he wanted the latter.<br/><br/>"Would you care to join me for some breakfast Angelique?"  He asked her.  Such a thing would have been seen as a clear violation of the rules of society, for a noble to sit and eat with a servant as an equal.  But the ir'Wynt and the Hlaford families had always been much closer than most nobles with their servants.  It gave the servants a bit more familiarity, and cheek, than most.  But that was the way it was and Tehr was certainly comfortable with it, especially when there was no other nobles around to see the breach of unwritten code.<br/><br/>Whether or not she accepted his invitation, he continued,  "It seems that I've been invited to a hunt of sorts on the 9th.  Apparently I need to find a champion, which I take to mean a body guard of sorts.  So I'll have to make sure I memorize a few combat spells that morning, if you could remind me.  Do you think you could ask around the other servants at market today and find out anything you can about these 'monster hunts' that nobles go on?   It doesn't sound too dangerous, but I'd rather know than not know."
