Tehr chuckled at the thought of Sarah slipping out to lie with the daughter of the stablemaster.  He didn't know her very well, as she was painfully shy around them.  As well if he could be blunt, she was of average looks, and Tehr already had quite the harem on his hands anyways.  He suspected that if Sarah and the stable lass had something going on, it may have more to do with their mutal feelings of being surrounded by humans all the time.  Maybe he should ask Emily d'Ravos if the halflings in his employ could spend time at the house Ravos, mingling with fellow halflings once in a while.  He shrugged his shoulders.<strong>"If you wish to move out to the stable house, I won't stop you, and trust Angelique to make the necessary arrangements, so long as it doesn't interfere with your duties.  But I made sure that the servants quarters on the third floor are very comfortable.  The average servant's chambers in Londinum is little more than half the size, at best, as the ones on the third floor.  Still, if that's where you'd be most comfortable, I see no problem with it."</strong><br/><br/>Turning to Rosalyn he smiled and shook his head, "As for you Lady d'Caelor," he used her official title as if to remind her of her station,<strong>"I think your heart is in the right place to offer such a thing, but at the same time such a situation would be unseemly for house Wynt.  Imagine if any were to find out that a guest, a foreign dignitary no less, were being quartered under my roof in servants quarters?" </strong>He shook his head again,<strong>"This isn't just about comfort but also appearance, and certainly I trust everyone in this house to keep secrets, but the risk is too great.  I'm afraid I must insist you stay in your current bedroom."  </strong>What he didn't add was that if he had his way, she'd stay in his bed, every night.  But that would be far more damning for both of their reputations of course.<br/><br/>He sighed,<strong> "I'd thought renovations could be done during the day and that perhaps we could all be on our best behavior.  But it is an excellent point that we should maintain our secrets and privacy when possible.  So instead let us leave Angelique where she is now, and do what we may to prepare the upstairs sitting room for use as a guest bedroom if needed.  Move Tera and Heidi up to their own private servants quarters on the third floor, and Sarah if she wishes.  Or if she wishes to move out to the carriage house." </strong>He shrugged his shoulders.<br/><br/>He sighed and looked at his elven lover, then to Angelique, who he knew had shared the attention of Rosalyn's father, the Duke Caelor, when he'd stayed before.<strong> "If we can get this accomplished, and if the duke plans on staying in Londinum for a period of time, we could put him in the room that the maids and Tera will be vacating."</strong>He raised his eyebrow at Angelique as if asking if this was something she would approve of.  The silent question that he wasn't asking was if this was something she'd like.  After all, if the Duke were in the other servants quarters and Angelique stayed where she was, they could easily visit each other's rooms by passing through the bathroom that was connected to the servants bedroom on the second floor.  He had spent good money to make sure that the dwarven crafters had made the walls quite well insulated against sound, and of course his bedroom had the magic of his statue to further soundproof.  But he had to be careful now with his lusts while the Duke was here.  No more leaving the door open while fucking women as to invite anyone else in.  Though if the duke were likewise occupied with the half elven head of the household, he may be distracted from the other goings on in the house.<br/><br/>After Angelique answered, he tapped his lip and looked at Christina,<strong>"That seems like it should work, yes sister?"</strong><br/>
