Emily had taken a few moments to jokingly tease Rosalyn that a naked tea time with a relative would hardly be bad as long as the family members weren't embarrassed to see anyone aroused at any other potential guests, a glance taken at Tehr's direction at this point. Rosalyn noticed it but merely smiled cheerfully as she had remarked back at that, "oh but I think he'd just compliment on smart choices." She earned a chuckle from Emily who seemed to nod in agreement. "That could be, nevertheless it is comforting to see humans relax so... though I still wonder about the thick long dresses and the corsets. I still feel I'll crack my ribs with one somedays I try to put one on." Emily winced, casting a mock-glare at Rosalyn at her chuckle. "Not all of us are lucky to be born with a thin waist." She seemed to toss it out there in a manner that someone might have taken offensively but Rosalyn simply smiled. "Well I must admit I find that plenty of the shorter ladies are in turn more stacked up otherwise." She glanced at both Emily's and towards Sarah's bosoms, causing d'Ravos to chuckle good-naturedly at that. "Well, true that..."<br/><br/>Nevertheless, the conversation's shift to politics showed a few thoughts causing concerns to people, for Emily it was the few mercenary bands that had stuck around and trying to find the necessary evidence to have their camps raided for evidence of banditry, for Tera it seemed to be about the situation of the war and the question of when the Duke might be returning, though partially disguised under small enquiries when the next ships back from the continent would be arriving.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, as Tehr had returned the unmentionables to the two ladies who had received them with smiles on both of their faces, and was heading back to the house he found Carolyn and Alex in hall, both of whom smiled to Tehr. "Well now, it seems that the two of them are getting along with people pretty well. Lady Emily has already shown herself to be quite free-spirited and seeing Rosalyn in a good mood is great too, but that little word-play still surprised me." Alex spoke in a semi-serious tone, looking at her master while Carolyn glanced aside and then returned her gaze to the two of them.<em>"It seems that they are well on their way to accepting the way things are here, but I imagine they as well as I have a lot more to learn. The surface of things is rather open, but given how things are, it just makes me wonder what lies underneath the underneath?"</em>She looked at Tehr more seriously at this.<br/><br/>"Carolyn..." Alex started and glanced between Tehr and her sister. "While a certain caution is always welcome I'd like to think that there's nothing going on that would harm either of our houses, and we are just more lucky than our family has been in a while." Alex's smile was met by a small one from Carolyn who bowed her head slightly to Tehr.<em>"My apologies, I didn't mean to imply anything bad as my brother seems to have taken it, it just makes me wonder what all we'll learn in time, every house has its own secrets, and I feel in this open atmosphere things are rather relaxed to what paranoia we've seen before, so it just makes me wonder if there is something that could not be spoken of, at least outside the... semi-permanent house-guests?"</em>She seemed unsure how to word it, but then shook her head.<br/><br/><em>"Regardless, I apologise and hope to assure you there was no implied distrust. Just seeing people step up and be accepted... and open up... is a bit of a new experience after all the uptight manners learned in the past when dealing with those who claimed nobility but acted in manner nobody would call noble. Here, nobody seems intent to claim actual nobility but acts more ... free and yet... well not sure if its proper word here but... noble... than some other places ever do."</em>She seemed to shift slightly in place, redder on her face for a moment before shaking her head.<em>"Anyhow, I wanted to know if you wanted to speak with me a bit more now that the house is back to its regular residents without guests present?"</em>
