Tehr tried to put Marie at ease,<strong> "Please sweet Marie, do not misunderstand me.  I do not hope that you fall madly in love with me and beg me to join your house as your husband."</strong>He paused for a moment and said out loud,<strong>"Tehr ir'Wynt ir'Saari?"</strong>Then he chuckled and shook his head.<strong> "No when I say love, I refer to the old ways.  There are many types of love, and not limited to a husband and wife.  I love my sister, I love my home, I love my country, and I hope desperately that we form a bond of love and trust before my seed finds root in you.  Not of romantic poetic nonsense, but of a deep and respectful relationship that goes beyond friendship.  The kind of thing where for our lives, our child might be raised by you and know that his father still cares for his mother, still cares for him or her.  Even if I am not active in the child's life save a few visits once or twice a year, but always a recognition of love and trust between us." </strong>Then he turned and included Jesaine and said,<strong>"and between us as well."</strong><br/><br/>Almost as if to break the tension, Jesaine then offered a game.  Tehr smiled,<strong>"Well, how can I resist a game like that?  As long as Marie is not opposed to such a scandolous proposition.  Though I should warn you, I'm not very good at billiards, my sister would be a much more formidable opponent.  But I suspect in this case, it's more about the fun socialization then actually winning or losing.  Why don't i set them up, Marie, as the observer, why don't you pick out the topic to talk about while we play?"</strong>He smiled and began gathering the balls together.<br/><br/><strong>"I think I should demure to you as my guest Jesaine, and let you break,"</strong>he said handing her a pool que.<strong> "I'm eager to see how you handle a stick after all." </strong>He winked to show that the double entendre was said on purpose.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I know this is a shorter post, but I feel like I should at least respond to that challenge of a risk of clothing.  I'm sorry it's so short.<br/>Here's what i rolled for a dexterity check to see how he faires in game... feel free to write out the results however you see fit.<br/><br/>Roll Result: rhev rolled: 1d20, adding 3 to the total<br/>Comment: Tehrs dexterity check<br/>Result: 10, <br/>Total: 13</div></div>
