At a gesture from the gentleman, Tehr took a seat in a thickly padded leather chair that faced both men.<br/><br/>Tehr sighed, rolling his head from one shoulder to the other as his eyes arced across his field of vision.  But then as the exasperation finished, he let the emotion go and simply shrugged.  "While no one likes to hear that there are unkind rumors being spread about them, I can't be too upset.  For the first I've been somewhat of a tom cat, and have probably earned a little bit of the rumors that are flying.  It would be dishonorable of me to not be willing to accept loose lipped chatter as a cost of my choice I suppose.  For in the end chatter isn't going to be the end of me.  Certainly I am not a braggart and have never been the kind to kiss and tell, a factor that has annoyed many nobles who've wondered about the nature of my association with the Queen.  If she wishes to label any thing that is her place and certainly not mine.  Any other rumors of women in my life are I hope rumors started by speculation, for they'd not start at my lips.  I will in fact say that while House Saari has many beautiful women, other than interested glances and gazes, nothing untoward has happened between me and any member of that house."<br/><br/>Tehr leaned forwards and nodded, "now, if the young man in question is saying otherwise, I wouldn't be able to speculate as to his reasons why.  Maybe a spurred advance lead to a false accusation?  I can not say."<br/><br/>Tehr leaned back, patting his hands on the soft leather of the chair and smiled appreciatively at the comfortable seating, "I can't help but remember my mother saying,<em> 'Rumores volant'. </em>Rumors fly.  So one word whispered here is heard by a hundred ears across town by the end of the day.  It's always possible the man in question simply said something in haste that got away from him.  Unless I'm confronted, I'll choose to ignore it."   Tehr hoped that explanation settled how he felt about people speaking about him.  For being drawn into possibilities and hesitant rumors was not something he had time for.
