Where indeed? It certainly seems as though Ereuvir isn't particularly worried about the possibility, as he gives the warning but leaves no guards for him.
A servant comes to collect him eerily quickly, and they seem pale-faced and not inclined to speak to him, but it's certainly more pleasant than his reception on the island. He's shown to a small sitting room where Ereuvir is sitting in a chair, dressed simply but more recognizably like a gentleman than a warlord. He is reading, but he looks up as Ashley approaches and gives him a once over, more assessing than sexual, before nodding, and gesturing to the other chair.
"As I expected, you cleaned up well. Please, help yourself," there are an assortment of lighter foods and pastries on the table, along with tea, which Ereuvir already has a cup of on the table at his elbow. It's unclear if he somehow knew Ashley would be feeling hungry, or if it's incidental and he also desired to eat. He doesn't look like he's eaten anything yet, but he has clearly been enjoying the tea.
He studies him again for a moment, more speculatively,
"I haven't yet decided what I'm planning on doing with you. I am not wholly unaccustomed to guests, or to tribute, but this is the first time the two have been combined into something quite so... personal."
