Tehr chuckled and took the card from Christina, "Well, I have much that I must do today,"  He flipped the card over a few times and looked at it before handing it back to her, "Why don't you hang onto this, it sounds like a place I would get into trouble."  He grinned widely and leered, leaving no doubt what sort of trouble he might get into at a tea room visited by female gentry.  "I think we're going to have a long relationship with the Duke and his family.  But maybe I'll bump into him today, I need to visit the White Room where I took him yesterday."<br/><br/>He caught her hand as he handed the card back to her and held it whispering quietly, "I'll bet she wasn't the only one with a bit of moistness when you were talking, eh?"  He planted a light kiss on her cheek and then added, "If the queen does not keep me tonight, use the passages between our closets and come to me after the house has settled.  I'll show you the statue I have under wraps, I think you'll enjoy it."<br/><br/>He turned back to his bench and began laying out tools and materials, "But I apologize, I have a very full day.  I'm going to try to knock off before lunch, then head to the White room to eat there.  Then I need to go to the palace, see the archmage, and be ready for anything the Queen may ask of me.  But before I do, I promise I'll write a letter to mother warning her of the situation here and of the treachery of Dale.  I think once she reads that you'll not have to worry about her setting you up to marry him."<br/><br/>Tehr felt his own ardor high, higher than normal for some reason, and knew that his sister was going to be a distraction unless she either left or she helped him 'get it out of his system'.  So leaning on his desk he looked her over, "Sound good?"
