The tour turned into a fair bit of laughter and conversation over what kind of things the house had been witness to, and the way the family that Carolyn was just joining into now was used to acting. It was an evening full of disbelief, surprises, and small sets of laughter as well as a few cases of exaggeration just to see how gullible she could be. Eventually she began to catch on and read when Christina was just teasing and when she was serious, but by that point Tina and Angelique couldn't help but find the whole thing a bit amusing. Alex had begged off work for the day to just re-connect with his sister a bit better, but the work awaiting ahead was on his mind too given he did return to work on the trinkets later on when Tina chose to drag Angelique and Carolyn off for a bit of girl talk, an event that Lady Roselyn missed given her own choice to spend some time in the solarium at that time instead.<br/><br/>As the nightfall came, Tehr's night was interrupted by a double vision of loveliness, as two of Angelique chose to join him in the night, the sheets shifted lightly before the two slipped by his sides. While he could have stayed up thanks to the ring he wore, these nightly meetings were a good enough reason to find a moment to rest back even when there was work to be done. The twin visions of half-elven charm were both rather convincing, but by the time the first of them was running her fingers up along Tehr's thighs, a sultry smile on her lips, the difference was apparent. Angelique just knew how to massage her way up her master, and the second half-elf maid, charming as she was, was a bit more searching in her task, yet her fingers brushing along his chest while resting her thighs besides his head leaning ahead enough to catch the underside of her pert chest through the thin negligee, her own amusement at caressing the firm chest easily evident in the faint musky scent drifting from the parted thighs in that pose.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>Nevertheless the light of dawn came to shine down upon the house again it came with a warm breakfast tray being carried in by a third half-elven woman, a smile on her lips despite a faint blush, while the two others were still resting along the bed. Her walk was elegant and her form beautiful as Angelique had always been, yet little things were a bit off that gave a small crack to the illusion, but surrounded by three sisters of Hlaford was still nothing to sneeze at, the smiles of amusement and enjoyment apparent, albeit the third one and last to arrive was wearing a maid uniform rather than appearing in a negligee to be stripped aside in the night.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Good morning my lord, your princely duties becon I fear, for the meeting time is drawing near, for the sisters of Saari to be here."</strong></em>Speaking in a soft melodic tone there was a titter of amusement present in the half-elf maid's wording, the difference to the usual wake up easily apparent though. Nevertheless on the tray lay a cup of strong-scented tea as well as freshly made bread, butter and choice cuts of bacon, a somewhat more serious expression then taking up her face.<em><strong>"I would quite recommend the use of this tea to wake up with before morning preparations, master. Though I understand if you'd rather choose the regular option."</strong></em>She nod towards a second cup resting there, likewise hot and ready, its scent in turn a familiar old choice instead of the new produce.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'd call for Knowledge (nature) or Knowledge (arcane) checks with DC 15 &amp; DC 15 individually on those, but I'll list a bit beneath based on what you roll, under spoilers.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">K: Nature DC 15</div><div class="spoiler_body">The tea has a strong scent of lavender for flavor but also a scent of sweet berries known to be rather stimulating, similar in effect to coffee in addition to energy boosting.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">K: Arcana DC 15</div><div class="spoiler_body">There tea itself has natural elements but they have been prepared in a curious manner, the tea-water seeming to brim with faint energy, though seemingly harmless or beneficial.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">K: Nature DC 20</div><div class="spoiler_body">The same berries are often used in iron rations, though dry they lose a lot of their potency, to lend an extra bit of energy to a day.

This comes down to a bit of boost to his capabilities on that side, but it has an additional benefit for a primal person evidently. <br/><br/>The tea grants Tehr a +2 temporary boost to Intelligence, as well as a +2 competence modifier to concentration checks as well as diplomacy from a calm and centered mind amidst the charge, and for a primal person with access to the feats to boost one's body after a night of bliss with a companion, the tea actually lends itself to an additional +2 modifier to those abilities for the duration of that day. <br/><br/>The regular effects of +2 intelligence and +2 competence to concentration and diplomacy are halved to +1 after 3 hours and vanish completely after 6.</div></div><br/><br/>If it seems like a confusing mess above, I imagined Angelique and Alex engaging in 'twin' play around Tehr for the night, and to top it off in the morning having Carolyn deliver some breakfast along with a gift of hers, although not jumping right into the thick of things. On that note she also makes sure that 'Angelique' is still doing her duty professionally and efficiently, even after (possibly) being shagged silly last night. <br/></div></div>
