Tehr caught swiftly that while he spoke his companion Jesanie watched his eyes intently, the game played along Tehr began to show signs of gaining an upper hand, but the woman was not stupid either, she seemed to know how to press on an attack. The game went still to Tehr's favor, as the matron moved to pour glasses of whiskey, moving on ahead to hold out glasses on a small tray, smile on her face. The blonde woman taking one already, as she came closer.<br/><br/>"It sounds like a very good deal for us then, and it makes me wonder what you stand to gain from this. If you are looking for an ally, you are making a decent offer but I wonder what would secure such a strong alliance." The way that Marie spoke those words seemed to make Jesanie frown a bit. "My sister would like to drag you to her bedroom to secure your smarts and slyness." Jesanie's words almost caused Marie to choke from the sounds of it. Just then, there was someone pushing at the doors, entering and closing the doors after her. "Sorry, sorry." Blonde young woman with a rosy leather armor on her, from boots and breeches to a shirt and bracers, a helmet under one arm, a rapier in other hand. "I was in the middle of the lessons when I was reminded of this." She let out a breath and looked at Tehr.<br/><br/>"This is the man then?" As she spoke, Jesanie leaned back and frowned. "You have almost pushed me into a check. Impressive."
