Tehr nodded as the older man spoke many things to which he held true to his own heart.  He did seem mildly concerned at the way he stressed the word obedience though.  The old man could easily be a follower of the church and be speaking ill of the old ways, or it could be the reverse and he could be speaking of ir'Dale and his ken.  The thought of which caused him to glance towards the queen to make sure she wasn't alone with either of the members of house Dale.  It was far too early for them to press her, but he had to remain vigilant.  Seeing that she was surrounded by people he knew that she was safe at the moment.  Turning back to the older nobleman he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name good sir."<br/><br/>After introductions were made, he continued, "You are exactly right about my father.  He did withdraw from the court for the comforts of family life and rural living.  My older brother would have been content to follow my father's footsteps and let house Wynt fade into the mists of history.  But his unfortunate demise put my mother in charge.  She wished for a secure future for her children, and sent me to Londinium to reestablish ties."<br/><br/>Tehr raised one eyebrow to add, as if it had just occured to him, "In fact, my sister joins me in town tomorrow.  Such is the depths of my mother's wish for us to re-integrate to court.  But tell me one thing good sir, you seem to speak ill of a certain point of life style.  Speak you of a specific way of life?"<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ok, so, here's the thing.   Yes, it sucks when I have to wait to play this game, because I really like it very much.   In fact I have in my on / off thread a note about how if a game isn't posted too every day or two, I lose interest in the character.  But I really enjoy Tehr, his story, and playing with YOU in particular.  I would like to keep playing, even when you miss a few days.  NOW, if the fact is that you're burned out and want to take a break from Elliquiy.  I understand that as well.  I took all of december off, if you remember.  I understand the need to recharge the batteries mentally.   But I really like this story, and I've worked pretty hard on the OOC thread, and things like his house and the mansion he hopes to gain.  I'd hate for the story to just end.  BUT if your heart isn't in it... I understand.<br/><br/>I just hope that isn't the case.  :)</div></div>
