The Queen walked besides Tehr with a smile on her face, seeming a bit tense for a second when the matters of political nature was mentioned, but drawing a deep breath she said nothing right away. Instead walking with him in relative quiet until they were securely within the private chambers, the lounge waiting with a fire set up and warming the room already. One of the guards knocked on the door a moment later to hold a tray with a wine bottle and a pair of glasses upon it.<br/><br/>"Thank you Esme, tell the others to keep the floor secure for the night, just watch the stairs and others are free to make use of the baths." Smiling, the Queen took up the tray and moved to set it down on the table in the lounge near the fireplace, then turning to face Tehr.<br/><br/>"You have something political on your mind, or you would not bring it up. I'll listen, I wont promise any answers or decisions tonight, but I'll listen." She said this seriously, and then flashed a bit ofa s mile. "Well, after that, I would appreciate a massage to my upper back at least, and my neck is killing me. The corset squeezes down in a way that cant be healthy and the dry gossip some of the court folks seem to think is most interesting thing of all ends up just making me wish to disband this court and make a new one from those not already more keen to hold onto their own wealth but to think for the country itself." She let out a sigh and closed her eyes.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, just a little tired tonight."
