<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'm not sure if Lilian stayed or left.  I kind of had Tehr suggest that she should probably get back to her duties.  BUT I don't know if she wanted to stay to talk to Tehr at all or not.   So I'm going to write up this post as if she left.  If instead she DIDNT leave, let me know and I'll edit this to be more appropriate.  I'm also going to develop the sister a little bit, hope that's ok with you.</div></div><br/>Tehr noticed how Christina held his arm, and he smiled.  She was a very physical woman, like their mother.  He'd not be even the slightest bit embarrassed about such physical proximity, at least she was wearing clothing this time while she held him.  Their mother had always been a little bit of a naturalist, shucking high class traditions to enjoy her garden while 'skyclad' as she called it.  An attitude that had in some ways rubbed off on her children.  Christina especially loved peeling off when there was no one about, a fact that Tehr hopped she desperately exercised caution with here in the city.  Tehr could appreciate how pretty his sister was of course, but he was somewhat of an addict when it came to women.  Having wanton thoughts about his sister might be something he could not help, but to act on them would be completely unacceptable.  Of course once they moved into the manor home, the size of the place would make things easier.<br/><br/>"Earplugs?"  Tehr said in gasping mock surprise,  then lowering his voice so that only his sister would hear, he muttered, "More like a glass so you can listen at the door you bad girl."<br/><br/>He laughed and turned to Sullivan, "This beautiful redhead here is Heidi.  She is to be Christina's handmaid, she will show you to the upstairs bedroom.  You'll find all of her luggage that was sent ahead already up there, as well as some furniture I had delivered.  Heidi, please show Sullivan to Christina's room, we shall be in the living room and will summon you if needed."<br/><br/>Turning to Lilian again he bowed his head, "Thank you again Captain Lilian, as I said, I'm now in your debt.  I'll have the immense personal pleasure of seeing you about the palace shortly I have no doubt."<br/><br/>Then he began to guide Christina towards the living room as she mentioned they had a lot to catch up on.  "Angelique has set out a small repast for you there, as well as some liquid refreshments, I have no doubt."<br/><br/>He smiled at his half elven servant, knowing that she would have set out probably cool tea and water with the snack plate.  Of course there was a small bar in the living room if his sister preferred wine or spirits when she mentioned a drink.  But he was more then capable of pouring one of those for her if that was her preference.  As he guided her to the living room he mentioned to Angelique, "If you would please give us some privacy, I'll ring if we need you?"<br/><br/>Shutting the doors firmly behind the two of him he turned and hugged his sister again.  Much longer and more fully then they had in public, he kissed her cheek and then led her to the couch near the fireplace in the dark room.  The room was always dark, being internal with no windows.  There was a hidden vault to the north of the room, and a secret hallway to the west.  Of course west of that hallway was the stable, so a window there wouldn't be the most pleasant view anyways.<br/><br/>Once they were sitting he sprang the big news on her right away, "Me first!" he exclaimed, "There's been so much to tell you I don't know where to start.  I've become a member of the court and house Wynt is now recognized again.  We'll be moving out of this house at some point in the near future and into a proper manor house."  He paused and then winked slyly, "and there's a rumor going about Londinium that young master Tehr ir'Wynt has bedded the queen herself."<br/><br/>He let his eyebrows bounce up and down, a wild grin on his face, basically confirming that the rumor was in fact true.  "Oh, I'm sorry, what did you want to drink?"  He said suddenly, gesturing to the pitcher of water and cool tea.
