Florence smirked at Nicholas' response to her suggestion of hiring the Master of the House. The man whose hand she held had the money to disperse of if he'd had the inclination, but Florence got the distinct impression that this brothel wasn't winning him over just yet. She smiled as she heard footsteps approaching and turned toward the sound.<em>'And that would be Master Ryan..'</em>the woman thought to herself as the man approached and offered them a confirming introduction and a slight bow from the waist saying, "I am Master Ryan Valentine. Welcome to the Teahouse. How may we please you..?"<br/><br/>Her friend only inclined his head very slightly, but Florence smiled at Master Valentine before freeing her hand from Nicholas' long enough to offer a proper curtsy. She let Nicholas speak for them, "Master Valentine, I am Sir Nicholas Bureck, and this is Lady Florence. I take it that you have time to speak with us, hopefully we won't take up too much of your time for as a artist I'm aware time is money." The tone of his voice told her that she was right to suspect he had been thus far dissatisfied by the people he had seen within the establishment. The last of what he said was indication of his own haste, but Florence felt sure they would find him a model worth studying here if the man would just have patience.<br/><br/>She shook her head slightly from side to side and sent her blond curls bobbing from the gesture while an amused smile took place on her lips. "A pleasure, Master Valentine" she said quietly as her own greeting to their host.
