"Lady Aalina,"
he said to her, referring to her formal title as royalty.
"Go to the Septa, teach the girls. I wish to speak with you later this evening, in the gardens. Meet me there, and tell no one of your intentions."

"I am a Septa not a Lady Jherek. That is all I will ever be."

The bard took her hand, kissing the back of it as he always did, and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"You are as such to me."
He pulled away and left for the grand hall from which he had left, his coat barely blowing out behind him.

Aalina frowned slightly as he left then continued on with her day as was the norm.
/////////////////
Aalina was sat in the great hall sewing, she had done all of her jobs and had completly forgotten what Jherek had said about meeting.

Jherek grew tired of waiting about two hours after the sun had gone down. He had nothing to eat, and little to drink since he had started his vigil. He lumbered through the halls to the kitchen, where he slipped the head chef a couple of coppers in exchange for a late night snack of bread and cheese. He understood, though. He was a fool for saying such things as he did, and sat in the great hall, hunched over his food as if someone were to steal it.

Most of the people milling around had left when Aalina realised the time. She looked up to see Jherek and remembered.
Quickly she crossed the hall.
"I am sorry."

He waited a moment before replying, swallowing his food and straightening up before he spoke.
"I have been called many things in my life, Lady Aalina, but forgettable has never been one of them."

"Aalina." She corrected. "Again, I am no Lady. My mother was, I am not. I just had things happen that drove our meeting from my mind."

"I understand that you had things that needed doing."
He pushes the plate away and stands up.
"I am about to entrust you with something that you must swear you will never tell anyone else. Do you understand?"

She nodded.
"I have held secrets all my life."

He looks around shiftily at the few people in the dining hall.
"Come with me, please."
He walks away, in the general direction of the gardens.

She seemed puzzled but did as he bid her,
"What is the matter?" Aalina asked when they got to the gardens.

"Of course." Aalina said.

"I left out a crucial detail. The man that taught me everything I know also taught me how to kill and never be caught."
