Tehr chuckled, "Enough of one that I might be told your first name now?  Not that I have a problem referring to one so gracious and dignified as Lady d'Ravos mind you."  Tehr chuckled and leaned back, allowing her to soap the two of them at a slow languid pace.  He'd already washed, but he got the feeling it wasn't as much about actual cleanliness as simply enjoying the touch and feel of a lover.  So he was in no mood to reduce her after sex enjoyment.<br/><br/>"As for your man, I'd be glad to teach him a thing or two, in the comfort of his library, or perhaps with you in your bedroom.  I'm sure that the magic I know, he would put to good use in keeping the lady of the house happy."  Tehr took special care to keep the word 'lady' singular when he said it and not plural.  As open as their relationship might be, it just wasn't the greatest idea to bring it up.<br/><br/>"As for your daughters,"  Tehr shrugged, "I find them all quite lovely and I'm sure you are aware that my friendship with Emily is deep.  I find her a wise and intelligent woman, one whom I enjoy spending time with.  Though I'm sure you're aware of the fact that while our houses might have an alliance, the biological differences between our people preclude a formal joining via marriage."  Tehr sighed, "Which, in a way, is a shame for she is a fine woman.  But I know that I must eventually anchor myself to another human house when the time comes."<br/><br/>Tehr sighed again, "I hope my dalliances do not hurt Emily politically, for if anything, I've tried to make her more visible in the court, increasing house Ravos's prestige."<br/><br/>There was a pause and Tehr splashed some water onto his face, "As for Charlotte, she seems sad to me, and that makes me unhappy.  It seems so out of character for your family.  While I could easily say that your family is serious at times, sad and morose I would not use as descriptors.  I hope that my duel this morning brought some mirth to her, for she seemed to need it."<br/><br/>Returning to his original point, Tehr finished with, "I must speak with Tiel soon actually, I need a little time each day to work on some magical formulae, and a well stocked library or workshop is exactly what I need.   It can't all be baths and eternity gardens after all."<br/><br/>He smiled and would offer to wash her back if she was done with all else.  Otherwise he'd have to consider it time to dry off and seek clothing so he could go meet with Tiel.
