The queen caught the gesture and smiled in return, her eyes cast Tehr's way directly for a moment before she resumed laughing at a courtier's attempt to humor her. She seemed to return a look now and then, but feeling comfortable at the time being still, the courtiers were slowly spreading out to enjoy the ball as well, leaving the ir'Dale watching her as well.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Tehr's dance with Emily was rewarded with a soft gasp at a pat on her bottom. Light enough that nobody further off would hear but she had certainly felt it there. Smirking a bit though, she cast a look up at him and whispered. "One does think that you spend a fair while looking at either the queen or down my cleavage, rather than your dance steps. You aren't doing bad but at the same time, I think you could do even better. I just have that impression of you." She smirked teasingly, but her words carried a grain of truth, given the difference in height, looking at her gave a good view of the cut of her dress, and down on the bosom shown almost all the way over to the nipple.<br/><br/>She didn't seem to be offended though, quite enjoying the dance with him, and a few people had joined in on the dance too, dancing near them. The court's musicians were playing the melody beautifully, and nearby a nobleman approached Tera, seeming to try and ask her to join him for a dance. Slender and elegant in the fairly simple dress, she seemed to have drawn a few eyes too, looking over at Tehr a little troubled, not seeming to know if to take the offer or not. The man was a decade older than Tehr, but seemed to carry enough jewelry upon him to drain a small county's year's taxes to pay for them.
