Tehr wasn't sure how he felt about this.  He needed to come up with a plan to scandalize this man, as he wasn't exactly loving the idea of violence.  But he knew nothing about him.  It seemed that more research would be needed.  He picked up the coin purse and raised one eyebrow as he noted the small fortune in coins inside.   Tying it securely to his belt, he made sure that it tucked into his clothing so as not to ruin the appearance of his carefully chosen noble's clothing.  He wasn't concerned with cutpurses, as he didn't usually frequent areas where that was a concern, but tucking it into his clothing might help if he ever did run into a seedier element.   He tucked the vellum picture into an inside sleeve and then considered waiting here in this room to think things through for a minute.<br/><br/>A lot had just happened.  He'd pledged his loyalty to a queen who's kingdom apparently was in peril.  He had danced with her around the possibility of a tryst, and there was a chance that one might happen the night of the ball.  He'd have to go talk to Emily d'Ravos right away, and he hoped she would understand.   He doubted that her house was on the side of the church, considering what he knew of her lifestyle.  Tomorrow was a meeting with d'Saari, and he'd have to try to find out about this preacher.  He doubted that the library would hold answers for him, but he also wasn't willing to walk into a church either.  His family had always had little use for the gods, and only nominally paid homage to the old gods, more out of tradition then actual belief.   Maybe he could kill two birds with one stone?  Maybe ir'Dale or d'Dale were connected to the church.   Perhalps he could combine a visit from ir'Dale with a chance to pump the man for information.<br/><br/>Satisfied with a plan, Tehr pushed out of the hidden passage and into the gardens after making sure the coast was clear.  He needed to head off to see Emily d'Ravos.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hey sorry my posting rate has been a little lackluster.  I'm really sick right now with a sinus infection that's moving into my lungs.  I think I picked it up over thanksgiving... stupid family.  In addition I'm in the last few weeks of this semester's classes, so I'm getting killed on term papers, final projects, studying.  So if I seem to update sporadically, please accept my apologies.  Thanks!</div></div>
