Tehr pondered the conversation for a few moments, sipping his water before saying,<strong>“One thing you haven’t mentioned however is the publicity of such a thing.  If it is a quietly kept secret, it may be hard to maintain.  Of course it could also be a quietly not very often spoken thing, that those in the know or those who seek to find out might find that I was the father.  Something that is not a secret perhalps, but also not openly spoken of.  But there is a third option, one of honesty.  A simple declaration among your house that the two of you,”</strong><br/><br/>He paused and asked,<strong> “and I am correct in assuming it’s JUST the two of you aren’t I?”<br/><br/>“That the two of you chose to conceive with a trusted ally.  That I, wishing to help my friends, fathered their children.  Not making a big deal of the thing, but acknowledging it, especially once all of the particulars are in place.  This third option holds an interesting point we must address.  Now as house Saari has three young and vibrant women that can carry on the family name if need be, you also have several cousins and extended family, were the worst to ever happen.”</strong><br/><br/>He leaned forwards and added,<strong>“But you need to consider one thing from my perspective, House Wynt teters on the edge of oblivion.  My sister and I are all that are left to secure our ancient house.  Should some disaster befall the two of us, or an assassin’s blade strike us down, as it almost did when backed by the snakes of Dale, House Wynt would cease to be.”</strong><br/><br/>He swallowed the last of his water as that sank in,<strong>“If a child were openly recognized as being sired by myself, and there were no others to claim our lands and house, there would be a possibility that such holdings might eventually fall to that child.  Now with law, it would fall to the queen of course, but there’s precedent that a distant relation might be granted a part or even whole of the estate and titles if the king or queen sees fit.”</strong><br/><br/>He paused and added,<strong>“in fact, if there are two children, both openly recognized as being sired by me, and the worst were to happen to house Wynt, one may even choose to change their name and their allegiance to Wynt, becoming the sole representative of the noble house.  Of course guided by their mothers d’Saari, such a thing could be a kingdom changing shift in power for your house, or if you prefer, houses.”</strong><br/><br/>He paused and considered the possibility of such an act were he to carry it out.  The one thing he knew is he’d have to consult with the queen and get her thoughts on the matter, for indeed such an act was not simple fun, but could shift the direction of the kingdom, under extreme circumstances.  Further he considered the right to succession inside house Saari.  Usually the first born child had claim to the house, though it was clear that Saari had different motivations.  Still he wasn’t clear on how this would proceed.  He doubted the sisters would want to bed him at the same time, for they gave no indication of such deviancy, such as he’d enjoyed among house Ravos.  But then he wondered which of the two would be a better mother for the future leader of the house.  With careful and selective application of his infertility spell, he could easily bed the both, while attempting to impregnate one before the other.<br/><br/>He mentally smiled as he thought of Jesaine getting pregnant first while he had a few months extra fun with the more adventurous Marie in the sheets.  Though such an act might be morally… questionable.  He might be getting ahead of himself.<br/><br/>Finally he broke his reverie by asking,<strong>“How do you forsee this proceeding?  Forgive me for being indelicate, but I can only assume that we’d be spending at the very least a few hours together a night, several times a week each month till we reach our desired goal.  I know a bit about planting seed, but only because I’ve always tried to avoid it.  Would you stay at my home, would I visit here, how would the schedule work, there’s some details I’m not clear on wit this.”</strong><br/>
