Tehr had the common decency to look at least a tiny bit ashamed when she mentioned that his desires were well attended.  He nodded and smiled at Angelique and said softly,<strong>"I am a lucky man to be surrounded by such beautiful and willing women, that is certain."</strong><br/><em><br/>"As such I think a little show of such rites would not do either any harm. Yet I understand if it would seem a galling task to witness the events with the tease inherent in it?"</em><br/><br/>Tehr shook his head and waved both hands in a negating motion,<strong>"No galling is the last thing.  I simply meant that it is enticing.  Despite the state of my needs being 'attended too' as it were, I find your beauty a charm spell I can not resist easily.  However I am no beast seeking to simply conquer an exotic elven beauty for the trophy, as I'm sure you've experienced while in Londinium.  No, I simply mean that it stresses the bonds of my promise as I must make sure the beast of my desire remains caged to witness such sublime beauty.  Also, in fairness, I was somewhat surprised to stumble upon the glory of your form.  Were I more prepared, I'm sure I wouldn't have been so stunned."</strong><br/><br/><em> "I trust in your, Master Tehr, and feel comfortable enough to stand in my bared form before you on occasion, without panicking and blushing over it. My father would perhaps regard it as curious I have come to trust you to that extent, but I've seen your character in my time in Londinium and there's been only good things to note."</em><br/><br/><strong>"I am glad that I have earned your trust, and I hope it obvious that you have done likewise.  You've been nothing but gracious, elegant, and wise in the time that I've known you."</strong>Tehr said, then leaning in he said in a softer tone of voice,<strong>"As well, don't think I don't know that you've helped my sister get over the shock and horror of seeing her friend murdered before her eyes.  I feared for her well being after that, but knew not how to handle her emotions.  But the friendship and solace you gave her went a long way to returning her to the path of good humor that we all prefer to see her upon.  As well, don't think that I haven't noticed how well you've made Alex ir'Hesfal feel at home here.  While my sister is the Lady of this home obviously, there can and should be no doubt as to the fact that you've brought a certain quiet dignity as well as calming heart to Hewthorne Hall.  I hope you know that while I offered you and your father a safe place to stay in Londinium, it is I who have benefited from your presence."</strong><br/><br/>He sat back and smiled broadly, well satisfied with his lusts satisfied by a night with the queen, a morning with the guard captain, and now a delicious stew in his stomach.  Then he said,<strong>"Do you preform any similar ritual in the conservatory  I would be honored to assist you in any way you'd like, or even just witness such a ritual."</strong><br/><br/>When Tehr had first moved into Hewthorne Hall, he hadn't given much thought to the glass walled room.  He figured that it would be used to grow veg and fruit during the cold months, and would likely be the balliwick of the servants.  But Rosalyn d'Caelor, with Christina's assistance, had truly turned the room into one of the most beautiful spots in the house.  An carefully attended garden, in planters and boxes, crafted with a delicate balance hid the more necessary fruit and vegetable plants, but was also balanced with hearty plants, flowering shrubs, trees, and carefully arranged trellises of ivy to craft an indoor garden that seemed natural inside of a building.  The fact that the two women had somehow turned the room into a work of art was quite fascinating, and Tehr knew that it was Rosalyn's elvish influence that made the room seem organic and natural instead of simple rows of plants.<br/><br/>He didn't know if she planned on dancing in the conservatory, but if she did, he truly wanted to watch.  Between the days she'd been gone in elvish lands, and returning to find her form naked and dancing gracefully, his desire for her had again risen.  It seemed that every time he'd come to accept her and quench his lusts for the elvish woman, she did something to surprise him and make him want her again, more than before.  He delicately stroked his thumb across the silver pendant he kept in his pocket that contained her portrait and said,<strong>"Though I beg you let me clean up first.  I greatly desire a bath before anything else.  I did not use the royal baths this morning in my desire to return home."</strong><br/><br/>The truth was that if he was going to bear his body to this goddess of elves, he'd much prefer to clean the scent of two other women from him first.
