Tehr's exit from the throne room might have gone unnoticed by some that weren't paying particular attention, but a few people did cast a look at his direction as he left. The journey to the hallways behind the throne room was easy enough with Captain Lilian guiding him, though she seemed intent on guiding him to the paths until they arrived to a rather relaxed livingroom, with throw-pillows on a large red-colored, wood-rimmed couch and a pair of armchairs set around a table with a tray holding a bottle of wine on it, as well as a set of four glasses upturned. There appeared to be a rune of some sort inscribed into the metal cylinder at the base of the wine-bottle, hugging an inch or two of the bottle's bottom, as well as a bit of frost noticeable outside the said bottle.<br/><br/>"The Queen will be here in a mere moment." She smiled at him as she said this, but moved to take a seat at an armchair to the right of the couch, the one on the left facing the one she had chosen to lean back in. "I'll remain unless you have something of particular importance and secrecy to speak of with her. I hope that doesn't bother you." Her tone was calm and at ease, yet the leather of her outfit tug snugly over her bust and the piece of material pulling over her crotch showing its infuriating ability to retain shape and refusing to allow a better glimpse of her womanhood. As she leaned back though the door soon opened, the Queen walking in without a crown or the heavy outfit she wore to court, changed to a lighter outfit, dark blue silks in a simple enough dress, a black belt with a gold buckle to it around her waist, her hair let loose, and her eyes seeming to sparkle with mirth. "Finally that show is over."<br/><br/>Sighing happily she made her way to the couch and lay back, sitting on it only to lean to the backrest in a fashion that would've earned more than a few raised eyebrows from most people. She was letting her guard down, showing herself at 'worst' or perhaps not worst but far less formal than most people would dare hope for. It was a show of trust in itself. "I hope that you have been able to make friends in your absence, for your presence has been missed. The timing of your vacation did leave me a little stressed out, dealing with the chaos erupting at the docks and afterwards." The Queen's words had a scolding tone to them, but she didn't seem to be that angry. "I hope you will be able to help me relax again now that you are back in Londinium." She added.<br/><br/>It was Lilian who commented next, while uncorking the bottle of wine to pour some chilled wine for three glasses. "I would say you have an interesting ability to make friends though. Halfling lady at the ball, House Saari whispered to view you as one male that is allowed in their compound who is not member of the family or invited in advance, and then the show of Elven Ambassador treating you like an equal. You should have seen the anger on ir'Dale's face at that time though, seeing you close to the lord he'd been trying to wine and dine all of yesterday and today without as much as a genuine polite word in response, only to see you two chatting like old pals." This earned a chuckle from the Queen as well, before she accepted a glass from Lilian, who also passed one to Tehr. "Allow me then?" She asked, and sipped on the wine in her own glass.<br/><br/>Normally, such a conversation would've kept polite, but the next moment the guard captain grasped her throat and her hand swung to slap the glass from the Queen's hand as she stumbled to the floor, lips starting to turn purple. Whimper rose from the young woman's chest, as she whispered faintly. "Wolfsbane." Poisonous, but hardly lethal if help was received.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tehr has a glass of the wine in hand, but would have seen the sign before drinking as the Queen's Guard Captain seemed intent to taste it first. He wouldn't have to roll Fort Save unless you absolutely want to have him already have sipped some as well.<br/><br/>I would appreciate a perception roll first, and then you are free to make other rolls for information as you see fit. There was no Guard outside the door when they entered, but the Queen's bottle was corked and sealed, that can be mentioned in advance.</div></div>
