Emily listened intently, having smiled on the comment about the uncomfortable nature of clothes. "To be frank, I'd be more worried if you<em>did</em>know what its like. Though obviously that's not something for you." She smirked a hint at him, watching him amused more than anything else. Still, she smirked a hint more at the speak referring back to her talk about the chains, letting out a soft chuckle.<br/><br/>"Tehr, have I made an overt display of wanting to bind you to myself only? I hate being left alone on the floor, abandoned. That's the worst you have done to me, but given the situation, it would have been worse for you, and me, if you had chosen to stay with me instead." She smiled at him understandingly, though there was a bit of a sting to her voice on that. "Which is why I was glad to have an invitation back at your place to see how you would treat me again before this trip." She shrugged a little and smiled at him.<br/><br/>"I have no trouble with you keeping other people close to you, just not with treating someone as more important than another. That's one thing. Among halflings, there's some star marriages with many people all married to one another. They work as long as people treat one another equally, not taking any obvious favorites. Some may still form, and cause a little resentment, but even then its usually alright as long as there's love for everyone and nobody is obviously treated unfairly." She let out a short chuckle again, shaking her head. "I will enjoy your company, and I would be delighted at a copper chain but I would not hold you to it that I'd expect more later along."<br/><br/>She silently reached up then to loosen the shirt under the blouse, moving to lift the blouse off, and lifting the frilly bit of cloth off of her, the shirt underneath hugging her bosom, the bra's lines barely showing on it, showing abit of curve still hiding her nipples. Tugging along the skirt's edge, she smiled a hint and set it down on her knees again. She did slip her feet free, relaxing somewhat but not undressing fully, or even just to her knickers and bra, keeping on the skirt and the shirt. "I am supposed to look more ... formal, on return from Londinium. Make for a more impressive appearance, reminding my sisters I'm supposed to receive proper respects." She snorted and laughed. "Honestly, if my mother didn't insist on it, I would just toss it and wear just my riding leathers an head on my own way, but she prefers I make a more impressing arrival. Though I can always redress later as necessary. As long as you dont make a mess on my dress." She pat the pin. "A lasting one at least, thanks to you." She smirked a little again.<br/><br/>Listening to his tale about his lineage she was looking quite amazed by the time he was through, but nod her head a bit understandingly before smirking. "Fae are wild by nature, and quite interesting. They say that a lot of crazy inventions have come from people who had dealings with the fey and learned to look beyond that which everyone is used to. Some are naturally like that, of course. Still... its not impossible as such that one of fey blood might not have similarily fey-blooded off-spring later on, even with races among whom pairings seem highly unlikely. Still, I can understand it would be far too much of a gamble to take that chance. Still, I can kind of see the image of you holding a harem of sorts to yourself." She poked his nosetip, leaning over. "Just make sure you treat everyone fairly, alright?" She laughed again, leaning back then.<br/><br/>"Hmm, I think we have a fair chance to trade stories or enjoy a bit of time for ourselves, as it stands. I am not opposed to either pursuit really." She winked and continued. "Perhaps I should speak a little about my sisters. While mother may put up the airs of a lady she is a woman quite similar to myself, I must admit, and she has had her share of fun in her past. She has a fair sized family, and while I am second oldest of us, there's a fair share of us girls back home. The lads are not home much, my two brothers are usually busy either riding or resting at a particularily welcoming lady's home when they get back. If you can call it resting that they're tired when they set back out on patrols once more." She smiled a little slyly.<br/><br/>"At least it puts the pressure off my back about having grandkids for mother, as well. However, my sisters and I grew up often competing against one another in a lot of things, but in a friendly manner. We have grown to share things from time to time, and some of them have been joking we'd end up sharing a lover too more than a few times." She rolled her eyes. "Still, my older sister hasn't been the sort to really want to marry, riding alone for most part, though my younger sisters have had their fancy on a few people. Lets just say that they have been a little more careful as of late. A charming young halfling lad passed by our home in the past, and was charming his way to their bedrooms, trying to get them to let him slip in..." She smirked a hint at this. "...when they became aware of the fact the lad already had a wife and children in another settlement not far off, and more still on another village further out. The lad seemed to travel as a merchant and find a warm bed in every place he went through. My sisters weren't offended he sought their company ,but they were at the fact he was going to lie about things like that." She shook her head.<br/><br/>"Though it only made them prefer to know a bit more about the fellow before considering more games. Lets just say you don't want to open doors that are closed securely at our house without knowing you are welcome. I've interrupted my sisters with their head buried in a lap before, and while not scandalous, it can be a bit embarrassing to some of us. Mom doesn't really mind, but well... its alright if its expected folks can see, but seeing something that was meant to be private, that is still a little embarrassing. Though usually passed out of mind with a joke or two at most." She chuckled and looked at him. "As for the whole thing about 'climbing the giant', lets just say that mom told a rather raunchy tale about a male adventurer that came through our lands in the past, and about her friends and her who joined the said hero on a harvest festival celebration. Giving him wine and some grapes had him seated, and mother stole a kiss from his lips, while another one lowered the hero's pants somewhat. Suffice to say he was kissing mother while he was getting kissed on his meat by our neighbor's lady. It was an interesting bit of play but apparently, it took four halfling misses to keep the lad down, one seated on his face and one on each of his arms, while they had to take turns wearing down his hips, such was the stranger's attempts to buck them off... or at least buck off." She smiled teasingly.<br/><br/>"Though I think she'd have no trouble trying to reanact the scene, provided she got folks to agree to abit of acting." She laughed faintly, watching his face.
