The lieutenant seemed to regard him quietly for a moment, before inhaling deeply and sighing. "I am supposed to help you out with what you may need, but I doubt the queen meant offering intimacy with me to you in her absence." Her words sounded a little uncertain, as if she was trying to convince not only him but herself. "From all I heard though, and the way the queen left, I imagine you managed to lay the worries on her mind to rest." She returned her attention to his face.<br/><br/>"Ehm, well I would rather not make such plans in the queen's chambers, that would be disrespectful to her. Also, I am here as a guard not as a lady of the court, so the intimate waltz is not something I think about too often." She seemed to think on something for a moment before shaking her head. "Nevermind. Uhm, the archmage had something to talk to you about, but given what happened earlier the arch mage is busy elsewhere, setting things in motion as well." The lieutenant then moved to escort him along to the gates.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>The return to the Hewthorne Hall was met with relative silence. No signs of Tera was present, nor Christina or Angelique for that matter. The kitchen had a bit of humming coming from it, a pair of redheads, one human and one halfling, could be seen preparing a meal at a leisurable pace, chopping vegetables and cleaning out some fish it seemed. "They should be back soon, I hope that Wellington girl will do well." There was a pleased hum coming from Heidi, while Sarah simply chuckled.<br/><br/>"I have no doubt, did you see the grin on Lady Christina's face? Tera just had to go along to make sure they'll be fine." The two of them snickered. "I bet you cleaning duty for a week that she comes back with a headache." Sarah's suggestioned earned a smirk from Heidi. "You're on. She's a lot more patient than you give her credit for." There was a sly smile on Sarah's face though. "Maybe, but Lady Christina is pretty clever too..."
