"That would be excellent," Tehr admitted with a nod.  "I wouldn't mind stretching my legs a bit too."  He thought about the gear he'd seen Angelique and Tera loading onto the carriage and was pretty sure that his ornate staff, perfect for a walk in the fall, had been strapped to his bags.  He couldn't resist a slight tease at Emily and added, "After all, the carriage is a bit tighter quarters for me than for you."  He grinned evily, "and you are oh so kind to make the accommodations even tighter... for a certain part of my anatomy at least."<br/><br/>He laughed at his own joke, and hoped she would join in.  He did enjoy her company very much.  She seemed like a very good combination of genteel manners, friendly companionship, and erotic sexuality.  Were she human, he'd consider her as a wife.  That thought alone shocked him as he always had considered himself a bachelor.  In addition it was odd to even think such things when he also had the interests of the queen herself.  Though he knew there could be great rewards for house Wynt down that path, he also knew that marriage would have to come from a different path unless he was willing to place all the burden of continuing the family line on his sister.  He knew he might have to do that, but didn't want to make it a certainty just yet.<br/><br/>He smiled and gazed out the window.  He always liked autumn, especially days like this where the weather was still warm and comfortable.
