Tehr considered, not so much that he was considering her offer or her skill.  He'd already thought about taking her, and had even suggested as such to ir'Dale.  He knew she was a capable huntswoman, not as skilled as her cousin of course.  That man would have been perfect.  He was feeling slightly sheepish, and didn't want to admit that he'd forgotten what day it was.  If only there'd been a few more days.<br/><br/>But there weren't and Tehr was not the kind of many who cried over wine that had already spilled.  He considered how to phrase his response to Angelique's offer.  Finally he decided to misdirect and then approach the truth from the side.  "That's not necessarily the truth you know.  Lady Wellington is not only an accomplished shot with those smokepowder weapons, but the rumor is she can swing a sword better than her husband.  Or the widow Gavin, she took a hogs head off a post by throwing a two handed war axe overhand at fifty paces.  Which of course drew plenty of jokes as to how exactly the late Lord Gavin passed."<br/><br/>Tehr chuckled, Lord Gavin had died of the shakes fever, but his rather overly strong wife took the jibes in good humor.  No, while the women of Britania were often subserviant to the menfolk, it was only the norm, and certainly not the rule or law of the land.  It would be hard for a kingdom ruled by such a strong and dominant woman like Queen Elizibeth IV the white to place women in a societally subserviant role.<br/><br/>"Certainly," Tehr continued, "If I claimed that I struck a killing blow, they'd beleive me over my servant, but don't confuse that with the issue of sex.  Especially,"  he said holding out his rather scrawny arms, "If one takes into account that my body was obviously built for books and beds, not swords and smithies."<br/><br/>He grinned at her and debated for exactly half of a second asking her if she'd like to take his body to bed in fact, but then another wave of pain washed through his head and he decided that any showing he'd have at the moment would be poor at best.  Maybe this afternoon when he'd had some more time to recouperate.  "But I think that's the best way to go.  Will you see to it that I'm registered for the hunt along with you as my personal attendant?"  then as an afterthought he added, "And if you want, take some coin from the house funds and go down to the archery range and get some practice in when you have a chance."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">We can skip ahead if you want, unless you had something else you wanted to do, or a sex scene you wanted to play out.  I think this is a great way to start off the story though and wouldn't mind skipping ahead, maybe to the next plot point?</div></div>
