"No doubt," Tehr said with a smile on his lips to show he was joking, "You would doubtlessly like your daughter out of the home when I am about for other reasons as well given my reputation."  Tehr smiled and said, "As to speaking with the queen, I converse with her on a regular basis, and can make no promises on anything, I can say this.  I think that in many ways our interests are aligned, and doubtlessly this conversation will come up when I speak to her.  More than that, I dare not say for fear of giving you any false hope and not wanting to make a promise that might be broken."<br/><br/>He tapped the side of his nose with a slender finger, a gesture he had picked up from his mother, "as to any other rumors, I will say only this.  If you have business dealings with House Dale, I would wrap them up.  Immediately.  Not within the week, but within the day.  In fact I would go so far as to say that disassociating yourself from Dale and it's allies would be a wise move, even this very hour.  For actions can come fast and hard, and i have seen Dale moving against the queen, against the kingdom, for weeks now.  When the queen's retribution comes, I would not want to be anywhere near that house or it's allies."<br/><br/>Tehr shifted in his seat and made to rise, "I pardon your indulgence my lord, but I see master Forgefist is also in attendance and has recently been vacated of company.  I know that he also is in need of my attention.  While I could easily spend all day conversing with you, I fear my time is limited.  Send a runner to my home with a good time to meet you at your estates and I shall respond as quickly as I can.  If I am not otherwise engaged I shall be overjoyed to speak with you in a more private setting."<br/><br/>Tehr rose, and unless the man wished to speak further, excused himself to go find the dwarven man of house Forgefist, knowing that he was also a potential ally.
