<em>"I apologise, I am used to keeping that all bottled up but I shouldn't vent on you. You've just been marvelous at helping me toss it all out of my mind and just relax and unwind in most delightful manner." </em><br/><br/>Tehr shook his head,<strong>"No my queen, I must be so bold as to insist that on that point you are wrong.  You very much should vent on me, any time you feel the desire.  For I am glad to help you shoulder any burdens you may carry, and if I help you in any way, even just as a sympathetic ear, then I have done my duty as a Britanian, a noble, and of course as your very lucky lover.  Never feel that you are imposing on me when you share your troubles."</strong>He took a sip of the tea and smiled at Guard captain Lilian and said,<strong>"Even if the troubles are relatively minor like having no one to share tea with."</strong><br/><br/>He couldn't help but chuckle, then sipped his tea again as the queen explained about the royal scepter.  Patiently waiting for her to finish.<strong>"I fear you misunderstood my queen.  I do not desire the use of the scepter.  First I would not wish to put you in any potentially awkward situation.  But also I have a more than mild distrust for divination magic anyways, and feel that the results I've already gained do nothing but prove that point to me.  No, what I ask is more..."</strong>he twirled his hand in the air for a moment as he saught the right word.<strong>"Mundane in nature.  Nothing more than parchment and a delivery rider to any trustworthy units or forts at port cities.  I would be glad to offer a small reward to any units, men, or women who saw the duke returned to Londinium safely if he does land in a port in your queendom."</strong><br/><br/>He sighed,<strong> "I think you need to vent a little more, tell me of this noble with book?"</strong>
