The arrival before Hewthorne Hall had already impressed the two elves, and the tale he was sharing along the way seemed to satisfy a fair share of their curiosity about the kind of man he might be. From the small signs, the smiles, looks and nods, the two of them seemed to be enjoying the experience. The whole atmosphere seemed light and relaxed as they heard him share the tale of the hunt, and then the bit of words about his family, including the servants, seemed to amuse and find approval from them as well.<br/><br/>It was when Tehr made the suggestion about the trade-path and the possibilities it opened to both his House and the elves that the Duke's expression seemed to tense briefly, fairly well hidden but the obvious importance of the idea was evident. He didn't really say one way or another just yet, but there seemed to be a bit of a smirk on his lips after the idea had been mentioned, only growing wider at the soon to come sight of Tehr's sister greeting Rosalyn in the robe she had donned for the arrival's sake, though Rosalyn's tease might just have set a blush alight on his cheeks, it was hard to tell for certain.<br/><br/>"I had heard the human cities might not have much in the way of trees and gardens in them, with people finding the price of land too high to leave open spaces. Its a delight to behold a touch of nature at the heart of a city like Londinium. It certainly adds to the charm of this place." Chuckling as she looked around outside for a moment, Rosalyn seemed quite curious, leaning over on noticing something in the grass, the slight bending forth presenting the elven backside which might have been, was the duke not standing right next to him at the time, quite a sight to behold on its own.<br/><br/>"I would hope to hear of your family a bit more, but perhaps an exchange of stories might work best? Should we allow the ladies to enjoy a bit of time taking in the sun?" Suggesting this in a calm but at the same time teasing manner the Duke earned a light swat on his shoulder from Rosalyn who shook her head. "I swear on the Shieldtree, you are quite incorrigible." Yet the idea seemed to earn some mirth from her, fingertips brushing on her neck briefly along the bare skin seeming to consider the idea of sunbathing for a little bit, yet seeming to reach a decision quickly. "Besides it would be rather thoughtless to come this distance and not enjoy the sights of this fine home, I would welcome a chance to tour your home." She turned the pearly white, charming smile towards Tehr, chuckling in a warm melodic manner, gazing at him imploringly.
