Tehr leaned against a nearby tree and simply laughed, watching the seemingly harmless play with the satyr.  He'd do nothing to interrupt as long as Tera seemed able to handle herself, but would be ready to speak up if things seemed to be getting out of hand.  Likewise he'd stop her from drinking from his waterskin if she seemed to.  He didn't know much about satyrs but he did know that the fey could play many tricks, and he wouldn't trust the water or wine skin of a fey in the least.   As long as the satyr and Tera were playing, he dressed slowly, somewhat saddened to be clothing himself.  He had honestly enjoyed the time in nature in the buff.  A thought was cast backwards to Emily d'Ravos.  She mentioned her clan often went around skyclad, especially back at their ancestral home.  Such a vacation might be enjoyable.  Maybe if he hadn't damaged his reputation with her too greatly she'd still extend an invite to him.<br/><br/>In fact, after a trip to the palace to find the master mage, maybe he could call on House Ravos.  It wouldn't hurt to lay out his plans with Emily and Tera in private.  Especially since he planned on having Tera guard Emily when she left the ball anyways.  Since he'd first met Tera while in the employ of house Ravos, he doubted that the two would be on bad terms.<br/><br/>Finally when things seemed to settle down, he thanked Mother Dryad again and asked permission to pay her a visit at some point in the future.  He would not intrude again if she wouldn't welcome a visit, and it never hurt to make friends, no matter how odd they were.   Likewise if the satyr was still about, he was friendly with the man, and promised to bring a skin of his finest wine next time he visited.<br/><br/>But eventually he'd suggest to Tera that it was time to head to the palace, and they should ride back.  If she chose to ride still unclothed, that was fine with him, and he'd be more than happy to use the excuse to fondle her body as they rode double on Blondie's back.  Of course it wouldn't be appropriate to ride into town that way however, and he'd make sure they both looked as presentable as possible before heading to the palace to find the master mage.  He hoped the man would be pleased with the components.   On their way back they would retreive the lion's corpse, and drape it across the back of Blondie's flanks.  If the weight was too much, they would walk and let his horse carry the lion.   A slaughterhouse or butcher would be the first stop in town, asking the butcher to clean the corpse and save the fur for Tera.   Then a quick stop at Tehr's house to clean up and change into court clothing.   If Tera had no extra clothing, maybe Angelique would have something that would be acceptable.   Then off to the palace.<br/><br/>His first stop in the palace however was to find one of the queen's guard, and introduce Tera to Lillian.  Just as it never hurt for him to have friends, he knew that an adventurer like Tera could use a contact like the captain of the queen's guard.
