Tehr absorbed the information of the druidic windcaller, wondering if there was significance to the fact that the paintings appeared to all be important, but that this was the one that Matron Astari d'Saari spoke of.  Tehr decided that he would remain mute, as no comment could be easily interperted as silent admiration.<br/><br/>When entering the room with the two daughters d'Saari his eyes were drawn to the chess games.  One of the few things that could distract him from women, especially women who were displaying their physical charms, his analytical mind immediately started to devise strategies for the three games in play.  But he quickly turned his attention back to the two daughters.  His mind immediately categorized the two women, the first he thought of as 'looking.'  A pretty smile and white dress, likely trying to attract a husband, and not willing to pass up the opportunity of a noble son showing up on the doorstep.  The other, black dress, combined with the rumors of house Saari, he immediately labeled as 'widow.'  He knew of course that both of those assumptions could be completely wrong, but that's the way the mind worked, wasn't it?  In the blink of an eye you made decisions and assumptions.<br/><br/>He bowed at both women, not as deeply as he had to Astari, but a respectful bow none the less.  "Madams d'Saari, it is my great pleasure to meet you both.  What I come to you with today concerns the future concerns of your house.  I am glad to launch into buisness immediately if that is your preference.  But I admit that I have cleared my schedule until much later this afternoon, so my time is at your disposal.  I can think of many worse things than to spend time in pleasant conversation with three beautiful women while we wait for the last of our party to join us.  I leave such a decision in your hands, but am well versed in many pleasant topics of polite conversation, as well as a novice at Chess as well.  I cut my teeth with such games as a very young child, my brother teaching me Foxes and Hounds when I was barely able to see over the edge of the table."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">while Tehr doesn't have any skills on his character sheet for 'games' or anything like that, he does have an INT of 20, so I figure he'd be at least passably good at such games.  Right? </div></div>
