There was a smile on the face of the sisters Jesanie and Marie, while the Matron merely bowed her head slightly in greeting seeing Tehr approaching, while the three elders each were looking around quite curious and turning towards him as soon as they heard his voice, though having apparently been lost in seeing about the place before them before he made his presence known. The elders, Phoebe, Natalia and Daria each bowed their heads slightly in greeting though not enough to seem subservient, while the Matron's bow was a little deeper, respectful, the bows on Jesanie and Marie more inclined to showing off the cut of their dress as long as they could it seemed, albeit Marie more blatantly at that than Jesanie it seemed.<br/><br/><strong>"A tour would be most welcome in most circumstances, but perhaps that could take place afterwards?"</strong>Jesanie suggested at his question, gaining a nod in agreement from Marie.<strong>"If it would be possible we two would like to remain behind for a short while after the meeting has taken place."</strong>Marie's words in turn seemed to earn a nod from the Matron, who let out a short breath.<em><strong>"I'd allow it, but yes I believe it would be up to our host."</strong></em>This was the point the three ladies there focused their attention on Tehr, while the elders seemed quite amused at the situation.<br/><br/><em><strong>"It is a pleasure to visit the house of a trusted ally such as yourself, and we hope that things have been joyful here. As a gift we have brought a small selection of wines from our family holdings, a show of respect on our part for the House Wynt."</strong></em>Phoebe had a somewhat more relaxed stance to her, yet there was a definite firmness present in the form of the deep-driven manners and firm hand of a court's lady and a diplomat.<em><strong>"If it would please you then we'd rather see to it that the business is taken care of and then let our younger generation partake in their curiosities."</strong></em>Her expression was a somewhat scolding glare at Jesanie and Marie who seemed quite unrepentant, Jesanie more quietly so with dignified expression back on her face but Marie with a bit of sly smirk along the corner of her lips.<br/><br/><em><strong>"It is amusing how the last talk has them all the more eager to be present here and see to this matter. I must admit it is not often the younger sisters step up so eager to learn more, but given the circumstances I suppose they have a good motivation."</strong></em>There was a small grin on Natalia's face, her words a bit slower than before, her words a little more carefully pronounced to hide the accent she had beneath it, though the foreigner status was still blatantly obvious to a listener.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Master Tehr, in the interest of honesty, it would be fair for us to note that recently we had a run-in with some former Spaniard ships that had dropped their flag and hoisted the skull and crossbones. The encounter ended different from what they expected however, and now the Caravel, la Libertad, is approaching the Londinium docks for repairs under our command. It is a remarkably fast vessel for its class, but we'd rather conduct business on the larger more reliable ocean-faring galleons. Still... a notion in our house was made to offer the caravel to the plans being made, a scout ship if nothing else."</em></strong>Daria halted at this point, looking at Tehr seriously, seeming to consider something a small moment before adding.<em><strong>"We would be relinquishing hold of it once the repairs are complete, though would be willing to provide a crew if one is not available from our allies just yet."</strong></em>
