Marie let out a short chuckle at the idea of unveiling the statue that he mentioned but a blush accompanying the smile said enough in the otherwise silent moment on her part, having understood that the aftermath would be rather erotically charged. There was no further questions on her part as she listened to his reply at the time, seeming a bit curious to hear about the matter, a smile playing along her lips as she added her thoughts at the very end, albeit only briefly.<strong>"I'm not averse to experimenting so, but not right away."</strong><br/><br/>Jesanie smiled as he spoke about his workshop and there was a blush and embarrassed smile on her face as he spoke in a flattering manner. Still, she bowed her head respectfully at his words and seemed to take them to heart, appreciating the fact they'd gotten as complete a tour as they had, especially when he made clear just how short the list of people allowed to enter that room was, though it was accompanied by an understanding and even approving nod.<strong>"Knowledge is power. Guard it well."</strong>She smiled at this before the matter switched over to the Solarium and the rest of the house. Listening curious alongside Marie.<br/><br/>Still, the explanation seemed to have the two of them thoughtful, and Marie remarked something in a quiet mutter to Jesanie, though caught by Tehr's ears as well.<strong>"Now I am going to have to convince the matron to let us visit more often..."</strong>Which was only met by an agreeing nod from Jesanie who kept watching him curiously through that. As he turned to talk about the future though they were quiet and focused on the words he spoke, and the question he posed at the end, leaving the two to look at one another, before Jesanie spoke up first, followed by Marie a moment after Jesanie had finished.<br/><br/><strong>"Meaningful challenge, and the chance to prove or test my mind."</strong>Jesanie looked rather focused at this time as she said this, carrying on with a short explanation quickly.<strong>"While I have had a chance to study a great deal, and play games such as chess with a large number of people, I feel stiffled at the House at times. I need to stretch my wings, test my limits and improve myself. My mind is my most priced advantage, and I feel my growth hindered at home, at times. The Matrons are... over protective, after our sister almost got killed by a would-be-suitor. Her drive to learn swordsmanship has proven a remarkable force of improvement, and her mind is keen as well, but they are reluctant to let me follow the same path. So, if you can give me some meaningful challenge... something not just idle curiosity but that would have a meaning too... I would feel actually <em>needed</em> for a change."</strong>She seemed somewhat embarrassed, almost ashamed at the end of that bit, while looking at Marie who seemed to take up speaking in turn afterwards.<br/><br/><strong>"Remember when you came to our House the first time? Jesanie is keen to test her mind against others, and I admit I enjoy a mean game of chess or other such challenges as well. However I also wish to shake the courtly ways a times, they get so stuffy and the rules are sometimes somewhat... stiffling for the young ladies. You've got a bit of reputation but it would do you no real harm, but a lady taking such reputation would be ruined... unless she had a powerful backing. Personally, I'd rather take a moment to relax back forget about courtly grace, to just enjoy a nice meal outdoors with a charming man I'm admittably interested in, and get to know him a bit better still, a thing I'd imagine my sister would enjoy as well though with her I think it would be best done while working over something that frustrated her mind to wanting to celebrates solving it by down and dirty-"</strong>She yelped as Jesanie actually pinched her ear from behind, a blush evident on Jes' face though.
