The gathered group of people sat silent as they listened to Tehr speak up once Angelique had finished with her own words, and looked upon him with a smile on many of their lips, curious looks plentiful, but all of them holding their tongue till he'd be done it seemed, at least with the exception of Christina, who as his sister dared to raise her voice quite easily. Everyone was feeling more or less relaxed, smiling as they were mentioned in his speech in turn, nodding or bowing their heads slightly, a few chuckling and waving a moment before he went along.<br/><br/>The talk on the divinities had earned a few brief nods. They were largely of the same opinion for most part, and if someone held the church of the one good in higher regard than the old ways, they were at least open minded enough to not dismiss things outside the church doctrine. Then again, an individual that was fully closed off would have been ill fit for such a meeting with some of the more strict teachings. Yet moderate and more sensible approach that some citizens favored might have seen them sit down at such a meeting at perfect ease. They listened and followed the tale, with Alexis and Carolyn looking a bit blushed at their mention there but smiling and enjoying their bit of attention in the moment without too much concerns shown on the surface.<br/><br/>Towards the later phase of his speech, he noted them looking at him even more curious than at the beginning, especially after his expression took in that devilish element that seemed to spark looks among one another as if quietly asking if the others were aware of what he was saying, but those that might know kept a more even expression, unwilling to tell if they knew or not, considering their master's secret their own and refusing to show whether they knew or not, merely watching him and listening.<br/><br/>The mention of his oathstone, and pointing out his apprentice knew of it, drew a few glances at Alexi who remained quiet but smirking a hint in return now, amused by the build-up present at the moment. His mention of retrieving the stone was greeted by nods and curious murmur amongst the crowd, as he then pointed out Alexis with such permission to tell present in it, where as he made his way out. Leaving the room he could already hear a few chairs being moved, people getting up and probably moving closer to Alexis to ask what was on their minds. None of them had looked wary or distrusthful however, more curious and thoughtful.<br/><br/>On his arrival to the laboratory Tehr's apprentice would probably be already facing a number of questions, but prepared enough to know what could be shared once the permission had been given and what would be best kept quiet about. He, or she, was rather diligent like that, a large part of it the fact that Alexis had not been accepted the same way anywhere else and seemed to genuinely enjoy her time there in the household, and losing her apprenticeship would have likely threatened her chance to stay. So holding back anything that would be considered a breach of trust was a second nature to the apprentice by that point.<br/><br/>The two acorns were positively bathed in the primal energies throughout the past days and in particular through the celebrations taking place all day long. The build-up of bliss and pleasure had surged primal power through the house and to the laboratory, and as much as the acorns had soaked in they had not even managed to draw nearly all of it, rather they were receiving as much of it as they could safely absorb yet the wellspring of such energy was flowing to replace what was consumed without a real shift seen on the surface. The power sleeping within, the life itself drawing in primal in a fashion not seen since ancient times if even then.<br/><br/>Having retrieved his oathstone and heading back downstairs with it, the young master was not in a particular rush allowing his apprentice to finish with the explanations, but nonetheless, as he returned to the room carrying the stone he found himself the object of much attention immediately. People awaited curious and looking on to see what he had brought. The oathstone laid down on the table a moment later drawing a couple of the ladies to lean ahead in a way that would have made even a few more modest ballroom gowns to show more than was perhaps intended, let alone in those outfits.<br/><br/><em>"Remarkable,"</em>Kayna remarked briefly before smirking.<em>"With permission? I would be happy to swear an oath on this to try. I have not had reason to distrust the family. What I hear, I think showing example could serve to show I wish to remain. To belong."</em>She seemed to consider her words a moment before looking up at him.<em>"Is there an oath you have in mind at the time?"</em>Her words were interrupted by Rosalyn who stepped up a smile playing on her lips as she bowed her head a bit, before speaking up seriously, and from the heart.<br/><br/><strong>"I Rosalyn d'Caelor swear upon this stone that I will keep it secret what takes place within these halls and with whom, only speaking of these things with others I am certain are in the know, or with the express permission of everyone involved in said secrets. I shall endeavour to keep things concealed so that we may keep our freedoms within, to not judge people for their tastes and desires in the understanding they offer the same, to love and cherish my companions, and to never abuse the trust I've been given. So I swear on my blood, on my heart's blood I swear this oath."</strong><br/><br/>The fact the stone took up a shine after she was done was greeted by a short moment of silence. She had stepped forward before a more formal oath could be formulated, but all the same for a long-lived woman she also had a passion to act, and it was evident she meant what she said. Looking around she saw a lot of approving and welcoming gazes, before a few glances were cast Tehr's way.<br/><br/>Turning her own attention his way, Rosalyn stepped closer, intending to kiss on his lips and hug him after the oath was done and confirmed, to let others take the oath they chose as well, unless an interruption would be made to set a particular vow in effect.
