After the sisters left, Lady Emily d'Ravos also announced that she had enjoyed tea but must likewise return to the duties of her house.  He bent to kiss her on the cheeks and see her off.  He couldn't help but smile at the whisper that she'd enjoy a little bit of 'private tea time' with him at some point in the future.  He nodded and agreed, in truth he felt bad, the last few weeks their tea time has been joined by no less then his sister, apprentice, and the lady Rosalyn.  She'd not had a chance to engage in carnal activities with her tea.  Oh, they'd played with Alex and Christina in the past, but not lately, and never with Rosalyn present.  He made a mental note to try to set aside some time for the lovely halfling woman who seemed so understanding of the demands of his time.<br/><br/>Then it was back into the house where he was met by Alex and Carolyn.  He noted that they had caught onto the wordplay of not wanting Rosalyn's father to feel uncomfortable because of the familial connection, and knew that Alexadria d'Hesfal and her twin sister Carolyn saw no problem with their twincestuous play from time to time.  Still he wasn't sure how to broach the subject with them.  So decided to let it sit for a bit.  Then when Carolyn offered to speak with him in private he nodded,<strong> "That would be lovely.  Why do we not adjourn to the upstairs sitting room?  I feel that it rarely gets used and might be a pleasant place to sit with less distractions then the solarium or conservatory?  "</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Room 21 on the 2nd floor of the map located here = https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=131758.msg7735709#msg7735709</div></div><br/><br/>In truth, the doors to the sitting room were leaded glass and would give them privacy if they were closed, but also allow them to see if anyone approached the doors to enter.  They could chat in relative privacy as literally the only reason to come to those doors was to enter the sitting room.  Sandwiched between Tehr's and Christina's bedrooms on the west end of the second floor, it was one of the least commonly used rooms in the house.  Well if you didn't count Christina sneaking through it via secret passages to visit Tehr's bedroom.<br/><br/>The room was light and Airy as they entered and found comfortable seating in the somewhat feminine decor.  Christina used this room more than anyone else, so he'd given her free reign to decorate it to her liking and she often did use it as a personal retreat from time to time.  He even found a book that she had been reading sitting on the love seat in the room.  Moving it aside he sat down and looked up at Carolyn saying,<strong>"I feel you might need to speak with me more than the other way around.  Understand that anything you wish to say to me can be kept in the strictest of confidence, and that I am an open and honest man, and will be glad to speak with you about any subject no matter how others may feel about such things."</strong>
