Tehr looked out the window, night had fallen.  He knew that the woman likely would have to be up early to be at her bloody work.  But she didn't seem to be trying to shoo him out the door.  In the end however he decided that things were going well with the dwarven woman and he'd continue on until she began yawning or asked him to leave.  He had no desire to overstay his welcom.  His goal at this point was to see if she changed her mind or just to make a good enough impression that she'd want to invite him back.  He'd known enough women that felt to spread their legs on the first wooing made them feel slatternly, yet if they did so on second meeting, then all was right.   He took Ironna to be more traditional, yet that feeling of making a man wait until next time was a powerful feeling a woman could get.  For a dwarven woman like her, obviously once a warrior, now clanless, and often looked down upon by humans, she probably had very little feelings of power in her life.  So if waiting to bed her would give her that feeling of power, Tehr could wait.<br/><br/>Of course, if he stayed, he'd likely be too tired by the time he got home to see if Angelique, Tera, or Heidi would be interested in joining him in bed tonight.  But going without for a day wouldn't kill him.<br/><br/>"Certainly," he said answering her question.  "I just don't want to overstay my welcome is all.  I don't know what time you arise in the morning for your job and don't wish to see you accidentally carve up your arm instead of a chicken because you're yawning to beat the band."<br/><br/>He smiled but leaned in and let his body rest against hers, casually, yet also creating that bond of physical contact that seemed to open up women.  "I'd like to touch you if you don't mind?  If that's not too forward?"  He asked.<br/><br/>As long as she gave her ascent, he'd wrap one arm around her and let his hand cup her buttock.  He'd go no further unless she gave signs of wanting it, and if she reacted negatively he'd back off.  But if he was going to stay, he was going to keep trying to push things till she called an end to the evening.
