"I'll make sure that you will get to see a lot of fun places during your visit." She had a bit of a playful smirk on her face, but as she moved to open the door and step out of the carriage, there was a swift response from outside. "Aunt Emily!" Happy shouts rose up, as a pair of halfling children rushed up towards Emily, who gently pet on the two children's heads. "Hey now, you shouldn't be sneaking out like that." She smiled in a gentle manner, brushing the hair on the boy and the girl's head tenderly with her fingertips. "Won't you go tell Linda to head outside to meet us?" She suggested in a calm tone, slipping something from her pocket before the two kids, who eagerly snatched it and ran off to the house's doorway, to head on in ahead of them.<br/><br/>"They're not actually my sister's kids but they call me aunty at times. Extended family, and well I think they are just happy to see more of the family back at home." She explained while Eva let out a short laugh from the driver's seat. "I think they like Emily because she's easy to coax into giving them little sweets from the city." The comment seemed to make Emily smile a little embarrassed, but happy. "I'm surprised the others aren't outside yet, usually most of the family gather frighteningly quickly when there's something interesting going on."<br/><br/>At her words the house front door opened, and a pair of people walked out, dressed up for the occasion. One of them was a wmoan with dark hair and a bosom that threatened to break free from her corset, the frilly edge giving some decency to the otherwise nearly scandalous cut of the dress. The skirt that was attached flowed down just above her ankle, but the dress was light compared to many seen in Londinium, and didn't require her to lift its front somewhat to walk down the stairs either. Her smile was a calm one, her dark hair and dark corset matching, the dark red of the skirt and the highlights of the corset seeming to match with the coral-like lips, the warm smile greeting the travellers at the frontsteps. "Mother..." Emily began, pausing briefly.<br/><br/>The halfling man in turn was gold-haired, somewhat plump fellow with a wide grin on his face, a walking stick at his side, and unlike his companion he wore a simple white shirt and a black vest on top of it, a set of dark pants flowing down to his ankles, but walking barefoot to the grounds, and heading towards Tehr. "Ahh, you're the young man our girl's been writing about. Welcome to House Ravos' grounds, I've taken the liberty of having a room prepared for you, as well as preparing some fine wine and a set of cigars to the tea-room. If you would join me, I am afraid the ladies of the house have some things to discuss." His tone was polite, and his friendly smile seeming genuine, but at the same time, Emily looked for the first time a little timid and afraid, though the gaze of the halfling woman before her seemed to be sizing Tehr up as well as Emily, in a knowing way.<br/><br/>"Also this way you'll be able to perhaps avoid being immediately surrounded by all too eager folks with questions about everything in Londinium." The man chuckled. "My name is Johnathan Tielwater ir'Ravos, loremaster and the family's favorite scapegoat." He grinned mirthfully, while it seemed Emily and her mother mostly sighed at his choice in how to introduce himself. "This way, this way, I'll have the maid bring your luggage to your room shortly."
