<em>"I think we can manage."</em>Christina remarked with a smile on her lips as the budget was mentioned, a chuckle leaving her lips at the time. Angelique merely nodded her agreement at this. They would find a way to make the money last long enough in that. The following talk then on the rumors had Christina become a little embarrassed, blush apparent on her cheeks at the mention of wanting to avoid rumors. Tina nodded her head a little awkwardly at the time, letting out a long sigh before speaking up again.<em>"I think I just wanted to try and help with what I could do, having come to know a few people, but yes I guess it would be dangerous to play those games."</em>She let out a faint sigh.<br/><br/>Rosalyn seemed hopeful at the mention of the archmage and higher magic, seeming to think about things for a moment before snapping her fingers.<strong>"I do have his old wedding ring, he rarely wears it anymore, not since the Duchess passed away, but he wore it for a long time before that and still holds it on their anniversaries, thinking back at her. I've learned to leave him alone on those days. Anyway, leaving Londinium he wanted to make sure not to take it to a battlefield and accidentially lose it, so I have it here at the house. I could get that to you."</strong><br/><br/>She smiled warmly and hurried off out of the room to retrieve the said trinket while the other women nodded their heads and left him to some peace. Rosalyn returned soon after only to set down a simple, well decorated ring with silver leafs upon it around a small emerald at the heart of it, with elven phrase 'heart bound' engraved within the band inside. On that note, there was a faint hint of old blood on the ring on the inside.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, as Tehr finally got ready for a bath, Angelique had already taken care of having the water poured hot and ready, with the soap and towel awaiting alongside some of the herbal oils and creams as well. Perhaps not only for his use, given that the particular oil wasn't too useful in washing but did serve its purpose in making some varieties of play easier. Nonetheless, as he entered the room there was nobody else in sight. A moment's peace to actually bathe, it seemed.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Master? Would you mind if I helped you bathe and relax?"</strong></em>Angelique's voice was gentle and a bit curious as she pushed the door open, stepping in with naught but a long towel to cover her figure with, but she kept it on her at the time. Wrapped around her form, it hid her from her bust to the upper reaches of her thighs, but she held it with one arm while closing the door behind her with another.<em><strong>"I am not sure how tired you may be right now, but I could always seek to ease your body a little to relaxing with my touch.. or if you preferred something else than a massage, you know I am happy to help."</strong></em>She smiled in a warm manner, honest but concerned. Her eyes watching him, seeming to want to help but unsure whether he needed less nude women to jump his bones or if one offering relief to teasing would be welcome at that hour.
