Tehr nodded at Angelique,<strong>"I'm guessing that Rosalyn and Christina will agree to spend their budget frugally to make sure that we have enough money to get word out to Tera when they go shopping for dresses?" </strong>He looked at his sister and the elven maid, knowing they would still be able to find a dress that was appropriate, even if it wasn't the height of fashion.  Such sacrifices must be made after all, and he doubted that the two of them could ever look anything less than beautiful anyways.<br/><br/>Tehr remained silent as he tapped the dry quill against the paper, trying to decide how to start the letter to his mother when Christina mentioned starting the rumor mill.  He was shaking his head no even as Rosalyn voiced her concerns.  Tehr agreed with the elf,<strong>"Not only at the risk of alienating those in Londinium from the fey folk, I worry about another aspect.  You three women know my proclivities and what goes on here in Hewthorne Hall.  I value the tight lips of those that make their homes here, and while rumor circulates about me as it is, I'd prefer if we kept quiet about things.  To start rumors about anything that happens here might invite others to gossip and question what else might happen under the roof of this happy home."</strong><br/><br/>Smiling at Christina he added,<strong>"I thank you for the suggestion Christina, and it holds merit, but I think we should avoid gossip."</strong><br/><br/>He looked down at the page and sighed,<strong>"I'll see if the Archmage has anything he can do as well, he might know something else, perhalps with his magical talents I might be able to preform some task for him in exchange.  Rosalyn do you have any item that belongs to your father I might borrow?  Something to create a magical link?"</strong><br/><br/>He waited for her response and then said,<strong> "All right my darlings, give me a bit to write this letter off to mother, and then Angelique see that it gets sent out with a swift rider as early in the morning as you can.  I'll write this then I think I need a hot bath to unwind.  It's been an eventful day."</strong><br/><br/>Secretly he wondered if the bath would include any of the lovely women of his home to help him unwind, or maybe warming his bed after the bath.  Lord knew he needed release after the teasing at House Saari.
