Tehr nodded,<strong> "Ah I think maybe that such a party may have to wait for we will be having another guest taking up the last room in the house soon enough.  Rosalyn if I may?" </strong>He looked at the beautiful elven woman who nodded her head,<strong> "The esteemed Duke Caleor will be rejoining us at Hewthorne hall shortly, and likely need rest from his time leading troops on the continent."</strong>Tehr couldn't help but notice the way that Tera's head pivoted swiftly and the slightest hint of a smile curled her lip at that news.  He suspected that there was more between Tera and the duke then just simple discussion on military tactics.  "I find the Duke a honorable man, and would not subject him to having to take tea with his beautiful daughter skyclad."<br/><br/>Rosalyn interjected,<strong> "Among my people it is not so uncommon a thing m'lord."</strong>Heads turned towards Rosalyn as she sipped her tea demurely and then added,<strong>"Though you are likely right, it might not be fully moot."</strong><br/><br/>Still Carolyn's comment brought to mind the idea that Tehr had for a new magical construct, and he knew that when the business of the trading company settled, he needed to begin work on it before it ruined him from the inside out, the idea felt to be expanding till his head would burst.<br/><br/>The conversation continued for a while longer, turning to things political.  Questions of the court, and then of things that were rather frivolous, garments and fashion.  Tehr maintained a pleasant face and tried not to focus too much of his attention on Lady Rosalyn, who he desperately wanted to see in his arms again.  But finally tea time wrapped up and the d'Saari sisters insisted they must take a carriage home.  Tehr sent Tera to fetch a carriage for hire and then escorted the two lovely sisters to the carriage.  Paying the driver a little extra, he then leaned in to whisper his goodbyes to each of them in turn.  As he did he pressed their panties into their hands and smiled admitting,<strong>"I had no intention of keeping them, I just wanted to know that I could get you out of them on your first visit to my home." </strong>He winked and added,<strong>"and without even a touch of magic.  I promise you that on your next visit, if you are willing, I will keep you out of them longer then the hour and a half you were without them today."</strong><br/><br/>He smiled as roguishly as he could and hopped down from the carriage, blowing each of them a kiss before signalling the driver to carry them on.<br/><br/><br/>Then it was back into the house to see how Carolyn was fairing, see what his home thought of the sisters, and then if no other pressing matters loomed, he needed to continue working on the papers that he had started days before.  The idea in his head, an 'oath stone' he was beginning to think of it.  It could keep everyone in Hewthorne hall safe from whispered words and rumors in the future.  He just needed to make sure that everything was exactly right.
