Angelique offered a bow and a smile at his words, moving along to inform Alex as soon as possible after receiving his instructions. Her pleased smile genuine, her expression a touch amused. Nevertheless, as Tehr made his way over to the privacy of his workshop there was a moment of peaceful calm there, while he moved forth to set things down and begin his analysis on the stones. Not enough to complete it, but enough to be able to tell for certain that the two stones were indeed ioun stones, for they were pulsing with magic upon touch, and strongly enough for it to be permanent enhancements rather than some one-shot item that some liked to try and sell on the markets proclaiming it to be far more long lasting variety.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, before he could complete a deeper analysis than that there was a knock, followed by calm steps as the familiar figure of Alex stepped forth, a smile upon 'his' lips as he arrived, a pleased look apparent.<strong>"You sent for me, Master? I apologise for taking so long, I was taking a short bath when I received the word."</strong>Indeed, there was a bit of wetness on Alex's hair, a glisten on the skin, a damp spot here and there on the sleeves of his shirt. White shirt along with a black belt holding up smooth cloth pants riding closely along his legs, a simple enough garment to wear indoors, though a touch lacking in pockets or little items that usually went along with the studies.<br/><br/>Upon hearing the question on whether or not he had sent a letter yet, he paused for a moment before letting out a short sigh.<strong>"I admit the matter has slipped my mind. I have written before back home that I have arrived safely and that I have been learning here, but I have kept my correspondence so that it has no hint of impropriety in it, in case any of the letters were to be intercepted. I have not, however, received any reply back for a short while now. I believe that <em>she</em> may be travelling to arrive to Londinium soon however. No evidence to support that, just a 'feeling'."</strong>His tone serious and calm, looking at Tehr seeming to wait on how he would take this bit of news.
