Angelique bowed and nodded at Tehr's words, a smile playing on her lips still.<strong>"Of course, if you would follow me, miss?"</strong>She gestured for Moira to follow her, while the guardswoman cast a brief glance towards Elisabeth before moving to follow her along. Watching her go there had Elisabeth chuckle faintly and smile to Tehr.<strong>"I know she likes to keep a close watch on me but I feel safe with you, and I think it would do her some good to make friends outside the guard as well,"</strong>she said with a bit of mirth evident in her tone. Having taken up the arm when he offered it she hugged his arm a tad tighter while glancing around at the hall curiously, before the two of them set off on their tour.<br/><br/>It quickly became apparent she was letting her hair down, and going by just her name, just by her first name even, was perfectly fine in the circumstances they had in place. She might hold court in a firm manner, but outside of her official position she regarded people as people, even if she did seem to maintain a fair bit of royal poise and a bit of dominant presence with most, though not necessarily quite as much when so close to him. She seemed particularly pleased to meet and greet Christina and the two she was standing with at the time, Carolyn and Alexi. It was just brief greetings and a curious inquiry on if people had been enjoying themselves so far, and a few questions in turn about whether or not she had found certain nobles behaviour scandalous or more amusing, things proceeded at a relatively quick pace along the tour.<br/><br/><strong>"I must say I am rather delighted at what you have done with the house, it has come to a new life with the people it now holds. I am also curious how this idea of the dress for this occasion came about, but I have to say it is certainly far more amusing than most of the celebrations I've partaken in."</strong>She appeared positively beaming at the time, having quite enjoyed things, and with people half naked or practically going by uncovered, she did not seem too concerned, though a little surprised in a few cases.<br/><br/><strong>"It is a great shame that such open delight on subjects that are more or less taboo to many others can only be partaken in a trustworthy and thus a rather small gathering. Still, it seems a perfectly relaxing way to let the hair down and take off any crowns or titles one may bear in day to day settings. The masquerade part is also amusing, even if people seem to only wear the said masks as an excuse rather than real cover."</strong>She smirked a faint bit at the time, walking about looking around at his office.<br/><br/><strong>"I would very much enjoy seeing a larger gathering from the more traditional families who respected the old ways coming together to celebrate things like this, in private and masked, but unfortunately there would be far too many concerns for secrecy to hold in most cases. Still, I have to ask if this is going to be a rare event or if it is something you would see taking place every now and then? I might also note that while people may have cleaned up a touch, I would be amiss to say that it seemed that more than a few people walked in a manner consistent with a 'good evening'."</strong>She had a bit of a joking smile upon her lips towards the end, but came to a pause at that point.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Alright on the roll made in privacy, Tehr could feel the Queen to be quite delighted and curious, and not really needing much of a diplomacy roll since she isn't taking anything poorly and is quite relaxed. Treating her formally probably wouldn't have annoyed her but she took delight in just going by a simple name. Also, she appears to honestly enjoy the time exploring the place and meeting people in person.<br/><br/>The two did not run into any couple engaged in sexual games during their tour, but suffice to say like the mentions about the office, enough signs linger that she could pick some hints up and she doesn't look disapproving as much as perhaps a little disappointed that most of it seems to be 'over' at least at the time being. Who knows, the queen might have some voyeristic or exhibitionistic tendencies who knows, before hand it has mainly been her guard(s) that seem somewhat reluctant to leave her entirely alone.<br/><br/>Also sorry for slow reply on my part.</div></div>
