There was a slight hint of amusement on Christina's face as Rosalyn looked towards his concealed project, but the Duke seemed more reserved on that and shook his head. "I would have to say that if a mage tells another person to not touch something because of its effects, its generally wiser not to. One young arrogant elven man once learned that the hard way. Though I imagine a month spent living as a someone hardly the height of one's thumb would give a different perspective for life." There was a playful smirk on his face then, a promise of another story sometime later perhaps.<br/><br/>"Thank you for a pleasant tour through your home, it has been refreshing to see a place that is both comfortable and warm, and yet holds the regality expected of nobility. I would say a lot of the old families seem to be struggling to maintain their wealth in these days, where as the new ones seem to possess sometimes alarming amount of money compared to their taste and style. Albeit I would imagine church and its tithes would be a drain of their own right on the money that used to travel through teh hands of the people." His tone calm, he made such a remark a bit thoughtful, before Rosalyn gave a soft swat to his arm. "Please don't talk about politics when we are relaxing among friends."<br/><br/>Christina looked pleased at hearing that, and moved ahead to gently hug Rosalyn, chuckling and whispering to her ear. The elven woman seemed a little surpirsed by the hug but not offended ,returning it shortly after. "Finally, someone who gets it. Life is more than politics!" Christina was beaming with merriment, and seemed to draw a chuckle from the Duke as well.<br/><br/>"Mmh, my apologies then. I admit I let my mind wander a bit too much." The duke adjusted his shirt slightly and looked at Tehr. "I would be curious to see what your project is, when you are closer to completion with it and it will be safe. I am curious to see what you create." His smile was genuine, but Rosalyn's soft chuckling called for attention before a word could be said in return. "I would like to see it too. Still, I'll be good and wait till its alright." She said the last part in a jokingly innocent manner, earning a chuckle from Christina who just smirked towards Tehr at hearing that.<br/><br/>"Still, I think it could do me some good to head on to the club on foot, and learn the route through the city. If I left now I think I would arrive a little early, but that just means time for little mistakes or stopping by any interesting sights." He looked at Tehr as if to ask if he would join along. "Alright, I'll head back outside for a while, and then I think seeing Anne Wellington would be a good idea." At which point Rosalyn's comment of "can I join along?" earned a warm smirk from Tina. "As long as you don't mind nudity." With that, the two women were heading towards the door to leave, allowing the Duke to laugh. "I think she's going to be visiting regularily to get some privacy for that, especially if she is making a good friend from your sister, as it seems."
