Tehr looked shocked, "I would never use my magic against someone without their permission unless it was a circumstance most dire.  I promise you, my magic will not touch you without your permission."  He smiled at Emily and added, "Though, Emily will tell you, once you've experienced the brand of magic I practice, you'll ask for it quite gladly."<br/><br/>Emily laughed and nodded, but then Tehr was quick to change the conversation to the meal.  He didn't want Eeva to feel pressured into sexual relations with him.  After all, he sensed that she would be an important part of  staffing his house with loyal and trustworthy halfling guards.  That was something more important than trying a new piece of halfling tail.  Well... in theory at least.<br/><br/>The group ate and joked and Tehr made sure to keep the conversation light, not allowing it to fall into any deep discussion.  When time came to pack up, he insisted that the women rest and used magic to quickly pack the materials they would take with them, and let the refuse that would rot heap into a small pile in the field.  He took Emily's hand and helped her stand and asked, "Are you sure you don't mind driving for a bit?"  Then after she agreed he said, "Please don't drive all the way, I do wish to change into formal clothing before we get close."  Then he took a look at her own clothing and asked, "Maybe you should change into something a little more appropriate for the road in fact?  I can't imagine those dresses will travel well.  I'd be happy to turn my back while you changed... though I'd be even happier not too."  He grinned and dodged out of the way of her fingers as she sought to pinch him.<br/><br/>Regardless of if she changed or not Tehr took a few minutes to take a short walk to the copse of trees to relieve himself.  He took a waterskin with him and made sure that he was well cleaned afterwards, hoping for a dalliance with the ever so cute Eeva.  It also gave the women time to do the same and if needed, change clothing.  He walked about the small copse of trees for a few minutes longer than necessary, just to give them the extra time and to also stretch out his legs.<br/><br/>In any case, it was a short while later that the carriage began moving again.  Tehr sat on the seat which faced the rear, letting Eeva take the one facing fore.  It was the gentlemanly thing to do after all.  Once the carriage began rolling he spoke, "Now Eeva, let me begin at the most important.  I've spoken with your sister about this but I feel that you're the woman to speak with.  House Wynt is in need of guards.  We are moving into Hewthorne Hall within the fortnight.  Once there, I fear that the single guard that my house employs will not be enough.  I was hoping to hire on at least two others, and preferably three.  In addition I need a stablemaster, one who can take care of horses.  If the stable master is an outrider and also wishes to have space for dogs, that would be fine.  The position of stablemaster comes also with a small apartment above the stables, two rooms, nothing big, but enough that a man could raise a family if he were inclined.  I'd not be opposed to a married couple as well since I wouldn't turn down domestic servants either.  House Wynt has the money to hire on several servants, though I admit, not at the highest of pay.  But room and board would be included with their salary, and it would be a room located inside Londinium, and not terribly far from House Ravos compound either.  I'm sure you can think of many reasons why this might be attractive."<br/><br/>As Tehr spoke, he tugged at his clothing slightly.  For some reason, being around the halflings was already affecting him.  He was never big into being nude simply for the sake of being nude, the way his sister and mother were.  But for some reason the clothing he was wearing seemed to be just uncomfortable.  Maybe it was psychological, he'd expected a nice long snogging session with Emily for this part of the ride, and had expected to shed his clothing.  So being with Eeva and being forced to recognize decorum with a woman he didn't know intimately was irking him.  He tugged on the collar of his shirt and said, "We can discuss the particulars at a later date of course, but I wanted to fill you in and let you know of the opportunity that House Wynt would be glad to give to any of your people that you trust with such a chance."<br/><br/>Tehr idly wondered if Eeva could take him as deep as Emily could as he waited her response.
