Alex seemed to smile at Tehr at his words, and Angelique smiled bowing her head a little in turn as well. Carolyn in turn was blushing albeit only faintly at the end when Tehr spoke out his question, though she did choose to answer right away.<strong>"I admit I was too worn out by rougher, faster riding last night to be much company for anyone. Several hours bouncing in the saddle leaves one worn down. I have no reasons to suspect that lady 'Tina and Alex are looking forward to correcting the issue during today however now that I've had a chance to sleep. Unless milord has plans for that as well?"</strong>She added that last bit half-jokingly, but seeming to still watch his reaction closely.<br/><br/><strong>"Mmmh, I think I heard Christina speak about having a talk with some other noble ladies during this morning or noon, so any games on that front have to wait till afternoon. Then there is the matter of other business so I am just glad you are here and we'll have our time."</strong>Alex smiled to Carolyn who nodded. They had spent several hours together yesterday with the tours and then the games, with Alex and Christina playing games with Carolyn and Rosalyn, challenging her to a mean game of pool along with a fairly constant bit of innuendo, something that even the servants got into based on the few jokes Tehr had overheard, but it had mostly been simple rambunctious fun to welcome her along.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes, she said she'd be back before the others arrive today, just spending a little time with ... uhm, Blackwood family was it? I think so. Not members of the court but recently adopting the old ways again and fairly friendly and from what I hear, 2 sisters and 3 brothers in that family, I'd certainly wager their families were not all that into ah, umm, stiff upper lip and all that either."</strong>Carolyn shifted in place while Alex blinked.<strong>"Wait, I thought she'd mentioned she planned to rest and bathe and leave early, having her maid prepare her some food earlier than usual for that? Then how did you see her before she left?" </strong>At this point Carolyn cast a glance at Tehr and then back at Alex, sighing faintly.<br/><br/><strong>"Because she cuddled me up last night not letting go until she had to leave."</strong>She said a bit embarrassed, while Alex snickered merrily.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I hope the bit of writing there fits and works out well enough, too bad I went to bed when I did and missed you'd replied so quickly after my last reply. </div></div>
