The Duke allowed himself a brief laugh, before smiling to Tehr semi-seriously, speaking up in a calmer tone. "Well I think Rosalyn liked the time with Christina at her side, and I enjoy your company. I had to pay courtesy to an old friend, but as things there are likely to be difficult later on, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for us two to move in for a short period in the guest rooms if you are willing to house us during our stay. Of course we'd have to learn the rhytm and rules of your home. Still, it would be more for Rosalyn than myself, I tend to travel a fair bit seeing about things right now. Yet it could be safer there than the present state of affairs." His expression took a more sour note.<br/><br/>"While the Lord I am friends with would regard her like a daughter, his step-son eyes Rosalyn with looks that lead me to encourage her to carry a dagger at her side wherever she goes as well as preferably keep company with her. Having her out of that house would be wiser, I've been meaning to see about it but for the time being its had to be, as I did not want to insult my friend by staying at an inn." He allowed a long sigh to escape his lips again. "Yet I admit such thoughts are the bane of every father, uncle, godfather and brother alike, when a young maiden is chased by men unworthy of her time, at least in their opinion." His expression a touch playful, but he shrugged at this.<br/><br/>"Well I am certain that changing lodgings would not be a bother for the two of you, from what I understand you elves travel lightly." There was a playful smirk on the old man's face, as Caellor muttered something barely audible.<em>"If you call 'lightly' being thirteen different ball-gowns and evening dresses and a dozen shoes stocked into a container for the safety of the heels, as well as silken unmentionables no relative should have to even be aware of... travelling lightly... thank the ancestors for bags of holding."</em><br/><br/>There was a short laugh from the old man who then turned to look at Tehr, a smile playing on his face before he bowed his head. "Nonetheless, I would wish you to make use of our club whenever you can. Also, if you have the time to it, there are two houses that would wish to talk with you sometime. The Forgefists, and the Farel. Both have requested a word to be passed on to you, out of prying eyes. Given the recent string of break-ins, and even mugged messengerboys, they seemed to find this word of mouth method through yours truly more reliable." The old man smirked, but then slowly tried to stand. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head to the balcony and fill my pipe with some leaf." He smirked and nod his head at the two of them, meaning to leave the Duke and Tehr to some privacy.
