Angelique moved to take a seat at the invitation, a smirk across her lips as she smiled to Tehr. "Have I ever minded your hand there?" She inquired teasingly. "I appreciate it that you would think more of me than a tool to be used where its convienient. It is one of the many reasons I serve you readily." She bowed her head a little in respectful fashion, but then looking at Tehr, lifted a piece of bread to dip in the plate's contents. Rising it to her lips she took a small bite before speaking up again.<br/><br/>"The hunt? Umm. Its not something I am too familiar with. Some servants I've ran into in this town speak of it as a monthly place to show off for the nobility. Some months its just falconeering though, and others its a full hunt in the forest, and sometimes rarely, it apparently is a monster hunt. To servants, its a time to prepare a lot of good food to carry along, and to uhm, to expect their bodies to be groped and squeezed, in case of women at least." She remarked a bit thoughtfully. "Drunken men trying to look manly and to look good for the Queen. Whispered word is that if someone impressed her enough, they might find themselves the Queen's Consort, even if she isn't planning on taking a new husband." She chuckled.<br/><br/>"Anyhow, the rules seem to be made up on the point by the Queen to some events, but others are more long-standing ones. Cheating is forbidden at the risk of being forbidden to enter for half a year, and losing respect in the court. Winner can make 1 request to the queen herself who will listen favorably, and stealing someone else's trophy is grounds for being permanently banned, and risking losing all standing in the court. Indeed, the way I heard that is that another house fell out of favor for being caught cheating, though they claim that... oh dear... that ir'Dale set them up."
