Rosalyn showed a warm smile towards Tehr at his words, bowing her head a little while stroking gently on the vinewood, a curious chuckle leaving her lips on hearing about the presence of a nymph and his words about that situation, a hint of a smirk playing on her lips at that.<strong>"I think I should be flattered that you hold your own against a wood nymph but feel a temptation in my company. That's quite an endorsement of attractivity you know."</strong>She smirked slightly but then reached out to brush her fingers gently against his cheek.<strong>"Still, there's stories of men lost for decades in the company of the fairy folk, and nymphs are counted amongst them. A dalliance with one of the woods might cost a man more than he presumed, being long since been thought dead might have brought severe harm to one's life. Of course, not all of them are prone to such tricks, but they do have a charm so to be compared favorably to one does flatter my pride a bit."</strong><br/><br/>She said this with open amusement, but no accusation or doubt, accepting his words as they were. She smiled to him in a happy manner, a soft breath leaving her lips soon after as she continued.<strong>"I ask that you do forgive yourself and not feel guilt over what took place, I understand the desire in turn and while I might restrain desires of my own and hope the same from another in my company, I don't find myself shocked by them."</strong>Rosalyn took a small sandwich up for a bite, a curious look on her face as she continued after a swallow.<strong>"I believe that in this city, there are at least a dozen people that would wish to ravage me for the right to brag about it. Where as I have heard of your play among others, I have not heard you bragging on it, rather it has come up through others. And from the smiles seen in your presence, I would imagine they aren't exactly discontent with what has been experienced."</strong><br/><br/>Continuing to eat and take a small sip of the tea, she seemed to hold an aura of prim and proper, yet at the same time a little relaxed, a strange bit of duality in graceful, unrushed gestures, but the more relaxed posture and casual smile instead of what stoic mask or 'polite' smile some might hold while carrying an act out in that fashion.<strong>"Chastity is expected when it is a matter of starting or carrying on a lineage, and when a bond is formed with the full expectation of sharing one another and only one another. While the higher society prefers such pursuits in general, there's a fair share of promiscuity going on that is known but kept relatively quiet. I would say being up front and honest about it isn't a bad quality in itself."</strong>She smirked a hint, then casting an amused look at him.<strong>"I will say that if I had taken offense, the lengths you go to prove yourself a man that should be forgiven are exemplary. Quite a number of people would aim for the most gaudy, costly piece of jewelry to impress, but you have picked something thoughtful and rather unique. I believe that would deserve absolution from any perceived guilt there might be."</strong><br/><br/>This said, she took a new bite of the small sandwich, brushing a fingertip against her lips afterwards and smiling at him, a curious look evident on her face at the time. Seeming to consider something for a short amount of time, she then proceeded to ask what came on her mind.<strong>"If you do not mind me asking, where do you see yourself in a few year's time? Not worrying about the politics out on the continent, but just life for you, in short ?"</strong>She seemed genuinely curious about his answer to this, holding her tongue.
