Tehr turned and inclined his head with Jesanie, "I fear that your sisters might think that I am being monopolized by you,  I will thank you greatly for the game and again complement you on your excellent skill.  But since forming the alliance is the foremost in my mind, I shall talk with your sister for now.  But my invitation to visit my humble home remains open if you are free at a later date."<br/><br/>Standing he turned to Marie, "Since you are busy, maybe you can show me the garden on the way back out to the stables?  We can chat while we walk?  I would hate to take up any more of your time then necessary."  Secretly however he felt that the sisters, being sisters, might hiss at each other over his having to make a choice of which to speak with.  He hoped that Jesanie would understand his desire to placate the two of them.  But secretly he felt that she was asking him to play a dangerous game for their house, and he was already risking his own berries for this group who had never heard of him till today.  To ask him to do more seemed a touch on the bold side.  Not that it was uncommon for nobles to act so, but Marie's phrasing of the alliance drew his attention in a much more pleasing way.<br/><br/>He worked very hard not to eye the third sister as she left, though she did cut a dashing figure and he couldn't help but wonder if her two sisters would likewise in a similar outfit.  He smiled at Marie instead waiting to see if they would walk and talk or what direction she would command him in.
