Emily held a sweet smile at him, reaching out to rest a hand on his knee at the time. Her fingers brush soft along  the clothed skin. "I believe you made a very good impression, being able to get people to come along with you like that means its more than just the ruling family though. So yeah, I think that both our houses can benefit from friendly relations. Plus, being non-humans that leaves us both free from certain 'familiar obligations' that would otherwise be soon forced into effect." She smirked a bit, chuckling at this. She didn't want to tie him down any more than she wanted to be tied down. She was happy to be with him, but she enjoyed her freedom. From the look in her eyes she figured him the same. "That does leave us both with more options, and make it a more fun chase, game, and conquest for us both."<br/><br/>Leaning back again as the carriage came to a halt soon enough before the new holdings of Tehr's family, Eeva got off the driver's seat to walk over to open the door for him. The house itself standing ready, the gardens still under work but from the looks of it the 'curtain' around the place to keep it private was well in place and it was more of a task of finishing touches elsewhere on the property. Most notably, a certain elf-blooded woman stood at the doorway, Tera's smile calm and friendly as she waved a hand at him. Dressed in his house-colours, she wore an uniform of sorts, although the neckline's cut made anyone staring at her find their gaze wandering down to the lush valley rather than her deep eyes.<br/><br/>"Welcome back, Angelique's been preparing your room, and Lady Christina is awaiting for your company though with another guest today, though if you should wish to visit them both they would undoubtedly be glad to see your safe return." Her tone was calm and collected, but there was a bit of mischief in her eyes, and she eyed Tehr over before blinking and looking at Emily. "Hey, he's still able to walk on his legs, did you make me lose my wager?" The tone she had was playful and made Eeva as well as Emily chuckle. "What wager was that?" Eeva asked seemingly innocently, as Tera then walked over.<br/><br/>"I figured he'd be so exhausted after visiting the lovely land of the short but buxom people that he'd be hard-pressed to stay up on his feet let alone get his thing up to salute even our dear Angelique." She whispered in a conspirational manner, earning a chuckle from Eeva again while Emily sighed. "You know you underestimate him, but if your wager demands it I suppose I could-" She made a mock-attempt to drag him back into the carriage, with Eeva chuckling. "Need any help sis?"<br/><br/>It was obvious the three of them were just playfully seeking to tease him a little bit, but at that time the door opened slightly and Angelique stood at the doorway. Serene, beautiful, and peaceful. Refined and elegant, bowing her head and making her outfit follow her form beautifully, more clothed than Tera and yet shining despite the fact she showed less, just having that radiance otherwise. "Welcome back, master." She spoke warmly and with open welcome.<br/><br/>At that time Sarah slipped out of the carriage from the other side, moving to retrieve the bags and carry them towards the front door like a dutiful servant should, Angelique looking at her curiously but curtseying slightly, exchanging a few whispered words before gesturing indoors. She stayed to wait for the others as Tera scratched the back of her head and smirked. "Well, thanks for returning our dear lad, it would be lonely without the Man of the House for more than it has already been." There was something a little sheepish about that last comment, but she said nothing else, instead watching Emily smile and speak in a light tone. "Ah well, I shall have to return to our family compound shortly but I hope to see you all later." Eeva moved to close the door, bowing respectfully at Tehr once more acting more like a servant than a member of the house family right then, but in the tough leather she wore, she had the looks of a mercenary guard more than a noble. Perhaps that was a protection of its own right.<br/><br/>"So, Tehr." Tera began seriously, looking at him before gesturing for them to near the door and get inside. "Johr ir'Dale tried to drop by while you were gone. So did two other lads. There's also been some shipments from a certain dwarven butcher, and I took the liberty of having the meat delivered by a certain kid, though keeping watch he took nothing extra. Its been fairly quiet, beyond that." Her voice was serious, her eyes turning towards Angelique though. Clearly, though what she said there was quiet it was the 'public' version that could be said outdoors, sounding more private than it probably was. The look at Angelique more serious than the tone of her voice.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sorry for lateness, hope this opens doors on how to proceed next, give him some to respond to and so forth, and again feel free to take a bit of lead if you like. ^^</div></div>
