There was a smile on her lips as Tera made her way to take a seat when it was offered, her shifting step having the robe part to show a hint of cleavage and downwards to her firms stomach, holding together just enough to not outright give a view of her nipples there right away. Her small sway had the slender, firm runner's legs showing the even tone of her tan, her hand raised to brush against his hand lightly.<strong>"Such a gentleman, and thank you."</strong>She allowed a quick chuckle to escape her lips.<br/><br/><strong>"I have already partaken in the hospitality of your house and found myself ashamed to have walked away from the position I held here, but it is not in my nature to stay for long. I do, however, admit that  your offer to make the object one I could carry with me without revealing too much."</strong>She took a moment to think on it then removing a small white pearl from her left ear, her right ear having no such decorations. "This is a small piercing I received in the past, without any particular enchantments. Would something this small be able to bear the magic? I have worn it as decoration since I gained it." The pearl in question one of roughly 200 gold pieces worth, it was seemingly immaculate, but far from the biggest he'd come across, entrapped within the golden cage of thin gold lines around it leading to the small arm it held to the ear by.<br/><br/><strong>"Mmh, as for the talk, I would wish to offer you a bit of news. The country of lilies has seen a bit of trouble recently, with the Church having received the blow it did a number of pagans have unearthed, and there's been talk about the Cardinals being tense and wanting to hunt down those who have taken the moment to twist their faith. There's even talk of a couple of heretics that have appeared. Supposedly, a cardinal was sent to Britain soon after one of the worst heretics in France escaped on a ship that arrived to Dover..."</strong>She paused at this, looking at his face.<strong>"They're trying to keep it hush hush, so naturally most of french court knows by now. Given that I passed through while on the way south towards the Spaniards and to see about the matter there, I happened to hear a thing or two from an inebriated minor nobleman who seemed quite intent to try and charm me. Thankfully I got away easy enough when he found himself flummoxed by what he called <em>the most perfect pair of breasts</em> as a lady with a rather low cut dress walked by, the corset pushing her practically out of it. The amount of powder they must go through to maintain that paleness, and when you have trouble distinguishing the men from the women..."</strong>She shook her head faintly and then smiled at him.<br/><br/><strong>"Nonetheless, I thought it worth a mention on arrival here, if for no other reason then the fact I am still loyal to the Queen and Country."</strong>She smirked a bit but hummed.<strong>"Though in all honesty, I am just glad to be back home in Londinium. The world out there is not in the best of shapes it seems. I've missed good company like that which is found here."</strong>
