Emily's expression was a bit troubled but she did not reply immediately, instead thinking over what she had been told. Nodding eventually she looked at him, not happy but not seeming insulted at least. "I will come up with an excuse. Its a shame, I looked forward to it and thinking we'd spend a lot more time there but I can understand you are getting yourself involved in a lot larger sphere of people here. I am grateful you are taking me to such a high ranked gathering in the first place." There was a bit of more formal tone to her words towards the end, but she smiled a bit at least.<br/><br/>"Was there something else you wanted to confirm quickly before you set off then, or was it just a hurried audience to get my approval to things?" Her tone was weighed, her words sounding carefully chosen.
