Charlotte watched Tehr but as he spoke of secrets and his own sister and mother chatting privately as well as about being a quiet lad himself, she seemed to show him a brief smile and a nod of her head, though not much more than that. Still, it was a small reply from her in itself, more than she'd been willing to give before. It seemed that the others took a curious look at Tehr at this, seeming to smile a bit amused at something. Then as Emily spoke up about leaving it seemed the sisters and the mistress were actually a bit let down that he was going to leave so soon, but nod their approval.<br/><br/>"Alright, I hope you two enjoy your time and please do take your time to explore your surroundings to your hearts content, sir Tehr." The mistress' voice was calm and polite, nodding her approval. The maid paused at the request and bowed her head in a subservient manner as well. "I shall make sure that you will have a chance to eat before resting then, dear guest." Bowing her head the Applemane gal was on her way again and moving back and forth serving dishes with fine skill as Emily's fingers reached out to wrap with his. As he spoke to the mistress of the house though she chuckled amused and nod her head approvingly. "I shall clear some time from my schedule to have a good chat with you tomorrow. I am sure Emily's father is interested to know a few things first hand as well." Her tone teased, while Emily's cheeks actually colored up crimson at this.<br/><br/>"Come now, lets find a little privacy from curious gazes and teasing whispers." Emily's tone was joking and there was a small chuckle between Eeva and the mistress, though the two younger sisters looked after him and Emily leaving the room at that point. Seeming to return their attention to the meal then, but even so, Emily didn't speak till they had made a bit of a way along the hallway. Letting out a long breath, she turned to look up at Tehr.<br/><br/>"Aahh... damn, I enjoy seeing my siblings but I am not sure why Charlotte is acting that way and well, mom's seemed to take up an interest in teasing you and me a little now. I kind of expected that but the way she looks at us, I uhm, well.." She hesitated a moment before sighing heavily and then speaking up serious. "I kind of get the feeling that my darling aunt has told her we've already been caught going at it like wild rabbits in the fall. If so, she might try and tease it otu of you tomorrow." Her hand gently squeezed Tehr's own, while walking along, leading the way.<br/><br/>The gardens they had been told to visit were something to see, a tall green wall of closely planted trees seemed to give it a privacy from prying eyes, but within the many pathways among the flowedbeds showed a crisscrossing path towards the central fountain, yet there were groves of trees planted in circles, and a few benches along a few of the routes, as well as small 'hills' shaped into the land. This was also just the view from the gates.<br/><br/>"The Eternity Garden. Some say that this place's fertility is blessed by the old Gods, that its lasting power is tied with the power of the halfling lineage." She hummed a bit and squeezed his hand. "Its also a place a fair share of lovers hoping for a child come and go, you know. Suggesting we come here, ahh I think there's more than a little tease in it. Of course, its mostly kept to our own race so I figure you were left out of the joke earlier." Holding his hand, she lead him along towards the fountain, though on nearing it Tehr might pick up on something. There was magic all around the place. It was faint, but this place did have it. The skies seemed clear, the grass was lush and green, there was a fair share of bounty in the trees and the flowers were blooming proudly on their beds. Wind rustling the branches and leaves played its own melody. Somehow the place could be called 'timeless' if not for the barrier wall of those thick, green trees trying to block the sight of building's roofs beyond.<br/><br/>"Its also a place of trust for our kind." She spoke again. "Not the same way that natural areas are for elves, but we do take care of it, and I think it takes a special kind of person to find the same as we do." She spoke, gently squeezing her hand around his. "Tranquil, but warded. Bountiful, but not overworked. Providing and sheltering. Hospitality, care, and yet readiness." She gazed at him and gently pulled him along towards a small grove, where they would have some shade.
