Tehr pointed at the guardswoman that Lt. Whitestone had set to stand guard, "I shall stay here with guardswoman Jean and protect the queen.  I need you to do something else Lieutenant.  Hurry as fast as you can to the kitchen and stop any of the staff from leaving.  Call upon any guards you pass to assist you, gather up all of the staff and have them wait in one area, the kitchen or the dining hall, anywhere you can control them.  But don't tell them why yet.  Watch to see if any try to flee.  Then when you can send someone you trust, a guard or a runner, even a page, back here so I may stay in contact if need be."<br/><br/>He gripped his staff tightly with one hand, "Go now Lieutenant, hurry, lest the assassin escape!"  He pointed down the hall and turned back towards the queen's chambers.<br/><br/>Looking at the guardswoman who was left, he took a softer tone, "Be at ease guardswoman... Jean, correct?"  He waited for her curt nod and then tried to put her at ease with a smile.  I'm going to go back into the room with the queen, and we are going to leave the door open so that the healer can be here that much quicker.  But I want you to stand in the doorway, ready for anything.  Do not let someone through if you do not recognize them.  I do not know the castle staff well, and must trust in you to help make sure further danger doesn't approach our queen, all right?"<br/><br/>Then Tehr, with Jean in tow, went back to the living room and knocked loudly, "My Queen, it is Tehr, I am with a guardswoman and am going to come back in now.  I've sent for help."  Then he'd check the door, pushing it open if it was unlocked, or waiting for the queen to open it if it was not.
