Tehr tapped one graceful finger against his chin.  He thought for a long few moments as he inspected the woman.  She didn't seem to be terribly unsettled by the long pauses and stretches of silence, so that spoke well of her patience.  He'd gaze at her for another little bit, making her wait on him.  She needed to understand that the nobility she served was in charge and that she served at his, or his sister's behest.<br/><br/>"Well," he said finally, crossing one leg over the other and leaning back in the chair, "You probably won't have to be too concerned about advances from my sister, and she would be your employer, not me."  Tehr knew that his sister also had a healthy sexual appetite, but as far as he knew, she preferred men.  In addition while it was a double standard, it just wasn't as acceptable for women to be sexually voracious as men in this society.  He knew that some noble women would take advantage of their servants to release their frustrations, but his sister had been raised much like he had, to respect servants and treat them well.  So he couldn't imagine his sister forcing her intentions on this ginger beauty.  Finishing his thought he asked her however,  "But, I must ask, do you fancy women at all?  Should my sister request your company, would it be something you'd find completely unwelcome?  A noble woman like my sister has needs, same as any other, but very few acceptable outlets.  I don't know if she fancies women, but I'd hate to hire on a servant that would be completely unwilling to even hear out any advances."<br/><br/>Tehr knew he was treading careful ground.  He didn't want this woman to feel like she had to be a slattern in order to serve the Wynt household... he just wanted to know where she stood.
