Tehr pondered his choices breifly.  Certainly he should give all due course to the queen, but it did appear as though she had a full plate today.  He really did not want to avoid spending any time with the lovely Rosalyn, and feared that putting off her father might hurt his chances.  Especially if there was already call for her hand in a political marriage.  In fact, he knew little of Duke Caelor's holdings or even status.  The elven kingdoms in wales, to the west of his home tended to be a little more insular.  Spending time with the duke might go a long way to increasing his knowledge.<br/><br/>He spared one last look at his Queen, and felt a pang of regret at the way her jaw clenched as she heard the case of the person before her.  It was still not even lunch yet, she might want to see him for a lunch recess.  Then again, maybe not.  With a sigh, he turned to Captain Lilian and gave a slight bow.  "My captain, if I might impose upon you.  Would you please inform her majesty her earliest convienence that I retired to my home to confer with my sister and then write to my mother about the lands in question?  Should she desire my presence, if she sends a messenger or has a mage cast a sending, I shall return post haste.  Otherwise I shall endevour to return at eighth bell.  Maybe after her dinner hour she will have more free time and I may more accurately help her with whatever her needs may be?"<br/><br/>He waited for a response from Captain Lilian, then turned to Duke Caelor and said, "Lunch is not yet upon us.  As you may have heard, I have recently revamped Hewthorne hall and made it into the home for house Wynt here in Londinium.  If you and your beautiful daughter would like, we could repair to my home for a meal, and then I could show you around the grounds.  It's probably no great sight, but I promise to at least attempt to keep up in conversation."<br/><br/>He wondered also if his sister would be using the late indian summer weather to take advantage of the high walls and high hedges around the home to sun herself skyclad.  He hadn't seen her this morning and knew not her plans.  He hoped that it wouldn't be a problem to bring company home unexpected, especially knowing what an exhibitionist Christina was.
