Tehr smiled broadly at the charming swordswoman.  He wasn’t sure why he enjoyed his dalliances with such dangerous women, but he did consider maybe it was simply that women as a species were just dangerous as a whole, and in different ways.  He thought he detected a hint of flirting in her words, even if it didn’t carry into her tone.<br/><br/><strong>“I am flattered,” </strong>he began,<strong>“to hear that my devices have become known well enough to have made it to your life.  Further I admit to a bit of curiosity as to the extent of your experiences with them and how familiar you may be, but of course I am far too much the gentleman to ask such a loaded and potentially crass question.”</strong><br/><br/>In reality he wasn’t surprised.  With Emily d’Ravos handling the discreet sales of the potentially tawdry items, items inherently linked to not only sex, but secrecy, it would make sense that house Saari was already familiar with them.  Houses Saari and Ravos had a past history of working together, and House Saari was known for it’s strong female leadership as well as a somewhat feminine biased membership in their house.  Of course Saari would likely be not only one of the early adopters of the trinket, but also likely some of the first to spread it’s knowledge to other women of some wealth.<br/><br/><strong>“However, what you ask might seem like an easy change, but I hope that you understand when it comes to magic, such a thing is rarely as easy as it may seem.  To put it in plain terms, a novice swordswoman may hold her blade and position her feet in exactly the same manner as a master, but the effect of the swordswoman defending against a blow will likely be much less effective than a grand master, without the proper experience and knowledge of how to preform.  So too does magic work, the item of which you mentioned was one of long research and much,”  </strong>He coughed gently into his fist, but did nothing to hide his wry smile,<strong>“extensive personal research into it’s application.”</strong><br/><br/>He let the comment sit for a moment while he tapped a tapered finger along the edge of his staff and nodded finally saying, “I know such a thing would be possible, it is simply in the design and creation of a working prototype that would take time, resources, and effort.  If you think there is a market for such an item however, I would be glad to look into it.”<br/><br/>He smiled at her softly,<strong>“and I admit that any assistance in my research would greatly assist the design, but also help me to create an object that would suite your needs more perfectly.  If you are free tomorrow, say late morning or noon, maybe you could visit Hewthorne Hall and we could discuss exactly what you have in mind and what desires you have for such a creation?  I would suggest coming fully prepared for any circumstance that you wish to ‘recover’ from, even at a delay.”</strong><br/><strong><br/>He let his gaze briefly travel her body before gesturing to her sword, “If such a task is acceptable, I’m sure my guardsmen will be able to give you a passable workout at the least.  As well, I can assure you that my servants draw a very fine bath afterwards and at the very least you will not have to ride home sweaty or soiled from any sort of physical encounter.”<br/></strong><br/>He kept his responses suggesting that he was speaking about swordplay, but was specifically leaving the subject open, on the off chance that she was flirting with him and was suggesting a dalliance.  He waited for her response and bowed graciously, thanking her again for the display and then making his way to the house to speak with her sisters who had requested his presence.<br/><br/>However his mind was already at work on the problem Karin presented.  The common cantrip of prestidigitation could clean clothing and the human form easily enough, but it was not an spell that was easily put into play in a magical item.  The simple cantrip only cleaned one cubic foot per casting, and usually took repeated castings to clean even a single garment.  Tehr quite simply wasn’t sure how many castings it would take to clean an entire set of clothing, let alone to refresh a person’s body of any sweat, grime, or other fluids using only prestidigitation.  While he could easily replicate his magical device with a prestidigitation effect, it would be much more expensive in order to hold the required number of daily charges, and also it wouldn’t be an instantaneous effect, taking anywhere from a minute to several minutes for the user to fully ‘refresh’ their body and clothing.  Besides she had stressed the word quickly, so he doubted she’d be interested in a magical effect when simply changing clothing and taking a quick bath would take almost the same time.<br/><br/>Likewise there was a problem with simply extending the delay on his current trinkets.  The spell he called ‘easy clean’ was much more powerful at cleaning than prestidigitation, but that came with three drawbacks.  The first being that it was fueled by primal energy generated by the caster, and sexual intercourse was required to generate the ‘fuel’ for the spell.  The second being that primal energy tended to bleed off over time, giving easy clean an hour window at most to cast after any encounter.  Tehr didn’t know Karin’s practice schedule, but he guessed that they could easily last longer than an hour, well beyond the window of opportunity that any primal energy stored would have dissipated.  The final problem with easy clean was that it specifically targeted cleaning up any mess that was generated in the pursuit of passion.  Being all sweaty after a nice hard lay was it’s target, not being all sweaty after swinging a sword for an hour.<br/><br/>Tehr knew from his examinations of the blue spell book that a spell existed that would allow a caster to channel primal energy into a magical item to store as ‘charges’ but currently that level of magic was beyond him and he would need more practice before he was capable of even attempting that spell.<br/><br/>In any regard, he thought such an item might be possible, but it would require a little more thought and research.  Of course, he always did his best thinking about any problem after a good roll in the hay with a lovely lady or two.  Speaking of which, he had to turn his thoughts towards the two lovely women he came here to see now.<br/><br/>Finding a servant at the house, he asked to be presented to the other two d’Saari sisters, eager to see what it was they had in store for him this night.<br/>
