The introductions for Tehr's sister were met with an approving glance from the people gathered there, and each of the Elders along with the matron appeared curious to exchange a few words to start off with, continuing with the same presence as they had held so far. The words he spoke about her having the run of the house in due time brought a smile on all the ladies face although Christina seemed to be at ease amongst the other ladies there even as he spoke of stepping back, but speaking swiftly as he prepared to step over to the others.<strong>"Thank you brother dear, I am pleased to meet our family friends and have a chance to get to know the people here."</strong>Her tone genuine, but a bit of mischief seeming to lace in that voice but for what, it was difficult to tell.<br/><br/>Stepping over towardos Rosalyn and Lord Forgefist, Tehr found the dwarven man glancing at him a bit surprised at his words but smirking and waving a hand in a slow and casual manner.<strong>"Ah don't worry about it, it was my mistake showing that young fool the invite and allowing him along, his singing bird mind is outrun by his buzzard tongue sometimes it seems."</strong>There was a measure of humor and some self-condemnation in the dwarven man's voice but he seemed to ease up on that quickly enough, as Lady Rosalyn stepped closer taking some shelter on holding onto his arm again as she bowed her head a little.<br/><br/><strong>"Master Tehr, it was my own over-eagerness for news that lead me to step around and ask about some things that lead to the confrontation. Dashing off like a maiden without sense or tact, I feel embarrassed as if a youngster still in their bloom being caught up in excitement."</strong>Rosalyn blushed faintly but smiled, seeming to draw comfort and safety from his presence. His words seemed to also reassure her, and based on the way she held onto him for the moment, she was certainly not uncomfortable at his presence unlike with the boorish lout from before.<br/><br/><strong>"Well, if you wish I could always direct the young lad to speak to you about the apology he owes the lady at a later time, but we should leave that be for the time being."</strong>The dwarven man grinned a bit wider at this point, a warm laugh leaving his mouth, his grin following afterwards full of mirth and yet a fair amount of control. As he moved though Tehr could easily spot the stiffness in the dwarven man's suit. It was rigid enough to hint it wasn't just cloth, but seemed different from leather, at least the leather usually seen. Quiet too, at that.<strong>"Ahh, lucrative ventures are always fine, but I believe I would have to invite you to our Household the next time around. I will hope to talk business soon, but for now, I best go after the lad before he does something else in his current mood to sour things."</strong>The dwarven lord nodded to the two and said his farewells politely but quickly, stepping away even as Rosalyn considered Tehr's offer of blowing off the discussion ahead and seemed to be touched by the gesture. Still, she seemed to make up her mind quickly enough, regaining her equilibrium at the same time.<br/><br/><strong>"While I admit I had not expected such venomous words after turning down an invitation as it was I think I am alright. It was the sheer <em>intensity</em> of the emotion and..."</strong>She seemed to hesitate to add something, but lowered her voice a touch while speaking only to him,<em><strong>...the seeming madness in those eyes in that moment that made me draw a step back. It seemed inhuman."</strong></em><br/><br/>Pausing for a moment afterwards and seeming to consider things for a time roughly ten dance steps in length, she shook her head faintly and let go of his arm, though still holding onto his hand and giving it a firm squeeze, her slender but firm fingers holding onto his own for a moment as she looked a bit down.<strong>"I am grateful for the offer but I don't believe a scare like that should drive me away, it would send the wrong kind of message about myself and the elves in general. Likewise, it seems the discussion here could have long term effects so walking away from it could harm your house and I would not deliberately want to let something like that happen. Though I appreciate you coming to my side. Lord Forgefist may have helped but he too is a bit of a stranger still, compared to you and Christina."</strong>She smiled at this and let out a breath.<strong>"I could walk around here and mingle as you have your talks and hopefully share a dance with you on your return, stand at your side as a friend and an ally in this if it was appropriate."</strong>Again, her voice lowered to a whisper for the last part to come.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Though after tonight I might need someone to hold me during the night to fight off the fright of those strange eyes."</strong></em>
