The Sentinel welcomed the tea as she prepared it for him. He took it, giving her a soft smile filled with a thankfulness that wrinkled the corner of his eyes. Though he was here on business, ultimately, he never wanted to discount the relationship that he was building with the queen.

Though, as he gave it a little more thought, it wasn't such a surprise, given her previous endeavors in life. "Oh, that's interesting." He said, brows coming together. "I would have thought your interactions with Frey to be a good thing...given...you know.." His sentence trailed off some, a slight stumble of awkwardness holding the hunter's tongue as he gestured vaguely one handedly with palm open and upwards.
She saved him from staying where he was in the conversation by moving on to his next point. "I heard that you asked Safrin to keep the children of Caido safe."
