"Your Majesty." Eoin bowed then did as she asked, quite pleased that she wanted company that evening. "I had intended to, but just as I was preparing to leave I received a note from my father telling me to remain here." there were several reasons for it though he hadn't discussed it with his father, most of it revolving around weeding out the traitors, the rest of it likely had to do with making a show of loyalty. The Viorels risking their heir by keeping him in service to the Queen and the assembly, it sounded nice until one actually thought about it for longer than a few minutes. Eoin had then had put it behind him. Sometimes his parents were simply too clever for their own good. "I am quite happy to stay, in fact I was hoping to. It did not sit well with me that you should be alone, that might also be what brought me here tonight. That or I was finally able to dig up that nice bottle and the chocolatiers let me know they had finished those roses." he gave her an amused little smile at that last part.
He uncorked the bottle for them and poured the sweet wine into the glasses. If one got past the luxurious surroundings and his need to maintain the slightest of protocol by referring to her by her title it would be easy to forget who they were in favor of just two people sharing an evening together. If he were being honest, while the title and the gowns and the power were all very impressive, he preferred simply thinking of her as a woman. A very lonely woman if he was any judge. "How are you this evening, My Queen? I hope I did not disturb you."
