Jesanie let a soft chuckle escape her lips at his praise at her idea, smile playing upon those lips even as he commented upon leaving it for later. Marie's mouth hung open at how he carried on though, the remark seeming to have her blushed but also looking a bit amused and excited. At least if the poking on the corset's top was any indication, her shifting her weight on her feet rubbing thighs together also evident for a moment before she let out a short breath and chuckled warmly.<br/><br/><strong>"I think that a little masquerade could be amusing but I am not sure who all would go along with such."</strong>Marie tossed in jokingly but quieted down a bit afterwards, while the talk turned towards the matter of their dress, and a blush on Marie's cheeks all the more evident at his mention that the rules were an idea on her part, something that she embarrassedly acknowledged alongside a chuckle. Humming and looking thoughtful, she looked right at him as Jesanie casually walked up close to him and reached down to slip the unmentionables down to her ankles, rising to her feet after having stepped out of them, holding them up on one hand, the other at her side.<strong>"I'll take your deal, and the clothes I won are yours again in exchange to mine except for this."</strong>She managed to keep her face calm and collected for most part but a bit of redness was there, as was a faint scent of musk, albeit it was evident she was<em>trying</em>to keep things in check, her nipples still could have been used to keep little chains aloft easy.<br/><br/>Marie let out a short laugh and smirked, clapping her hands.<strong>"Well played, and yes I'll agree to that deal as well... and no, I think a little adventure is fine and proper, just wish I had picked something a bit more memorable had I known..."</strong>She smiled embarrassed while removing the simple but finely made black undergarments, the flowery imagery of thornbush in rose-bloom despite the black color evident in the fabric. Such detail would only be in a noblewoman's undergarments, given the costs. Jesanie in turn favored more practical, though opposing in shade creamy white, with gold lining.<br/><br/><strong>"Let us dress then and head onwards to a spot of tea then."</strong>Marie smiled while moving to lift the few clothes she'd won off Tehr to hold them over, a smile wide on her lips as the two sisters stood there in the room in a state of undress that would have been scandalous and sent tongues waggling in other houses, but that was seemingly accepted as norm in here, a freedom they were still getting used to but appearing to enjoy, neither of them rushing with their dressing but starting to put clothes back on nevertheless since a meal had been mentioned and it seemed wiser to go clothed, for now.<br/><br/>Walking along with the two ladies to join the others for the high tea, Tehr could hear the warm laughter from the distance easily enough. Opening the door to join others around the table he could see Christina's hands waving in the air as she was telling her tale, Alex looking more embarrassed than anything with Rosalyn chuckling in a nice if light dress hugging her form lightly, with Carolyn dressed in a similar light fashion, her dress certainly light for the weather but looking beautiful nevertheless in the simple white splendor. The chuckling of the halfling lady Emily d'Ravos was apparent as well sitting there facing the others, waving a hand in welcoming on noticing Tehr arriving with his two companions. Sarah Applemane was moving from person to another with a tray holding some sweet sugary treats upon it, a small selection of them at that, while Angelique stood nearby, calmly overseeing things, and Tera appeared to have chosen to stand near a window watching something outside but chuckling as well.<br/><br/><strong>"...you not, it was like touching lightning, I was squirming and squeaking out so loud and embarrassed, and all he can do is blush up a storm and then asks me 'so... dial it down a little?'"</strong>A little attempt at making a vibrating little wand to amuse and serve as a toy that might be marketable, rather than rely on the power of force-toys, Alex had experimented on such for a while but dropped it out after something took place that made him scrap the project. He had, after all, noted that a lover's touch was always better than a malfunctioning toy.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh my! I think I that we missed out on some rather amusing little story there?"</strong>Marie suggested while Jesanie shrugged.<strong>"Perhaps. Greetings. Glad to meet you all."</strong>Jesanie was smiling faintly, but looking a bit awkward again, among people she wasn't too familiar with yet, but compared to how she had been, it was progress definitely. It also showed just how much she'd opened up to Tehr by comparison.<br/><br/><strong>"Marie d'Saari and Jesanie d'Saari, pleased to meet you all, we apologise for having our fine host tied up for so long but we were so engaged in our game we lost sense of time."</strong>Marie smiled awkward while the halfling woman smiled happily and nod.<em><strong>"Master Tehr is a very good host to take care of all the guest's needs so it is often easy to lose track of time with him."</strong></em>She smiled amusedly at him, while Rosalyn stood up and hurried over to Tehr's side suddenly wrapping him in a tight hug, whispering to his ear.<br/><br/><em>"I received a letter, from my father, he's finally safe again and on his way back... I am so relieved... and thank you for all your aid when I was worrying myself sick..."</em>She blushed up a fair bit but hugged him surprisingly strongly for those lithe elven arms, but it was obvious she was very relieved. The matter had been mentioned to the other ladies though it seemed, given the sympathic looks they gave her and smiling warmly to Tehr.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sorry about a bit abrupt point of bringing that up, just thought the storyline with her father would move along as well, and I like the costume and the portrait you found, very nice pick indeed.</div></div>
