Listening to Tehr calmly at the time and humming slightly, the halfling man seemed to pay attention to his words without a real worry, smiling a little nonetheless as he waited out for him to finish what he had to say. He raised his brow somewhat at the mention of having hurt Emily, but said nothing right away, instead choosing to wait till he had spoken what he had to say. Finally nodding slightly, he let out a chuckle.<br/><br/>"From all I've gathered, if Emily held a grudge over that she would not have brought you here. She would've taken a while to see where your allegiance stands first." Nodding his head slightly at the time, Tielwater then brushed his nosetip with his fingertip as if brushing something off, sipping on his wine once more. Taking a few slow gulps, he set it down on the table before looking at Tehr seriously once more.<br/><br/>"We shall duel tomorrow morning then. I'll give you a chance to prepare whatever magic you have for that. It'll be a quiet affair, and you need not worry, there's barrier in place to keep the magic from actually doing harm there. The worst that can happen is bruises and getting knocked out, but there's soft beds to recover in here as well as a healer that might be quite glad to help." He had no smile on his face as he stared at Tehr now however. "You will not face me but a student of mine. I think facing you in battle when you have done me no harm, and I doubt you've done Emily any harm either, would be crude bullying on my part. However, I hope you will gain power and come face me as my equal one day." He smirked slightly. "To add to the play, if you win, I'll hand you some scrolls from my personal library. Though, should you fail..." He looked at Tehr quietly a moment, then chuckling suddenly and smiling casually.<br/><br/>"Ah, but we've managed to destroy this bottle!" He picked the empty wine bottle and moved to the doorway, pulling on a rope. Short moment later, a halfling woman in a maid uniform opened the door, smiling with a new bottle ready, one which Tielwater snatched with a bow of his head before returning to the table. Pouring himself a new glass, he offered to pour Tehr one as well, seeming thoughtful.<br/><br/>"For today, I present you with a few suggestions. First, take Emily out and ask her to show you the Eternity Garden. I'll make sure nobody else goes there if you do." He hummed, then sipping on the wine. "Second, roam about the mansion a bit and get to know Emily's family. I'm sure they'd be eager to get to know you as well. With or without Emily at your side, I imagine you'll find yourself answering a few things to the lady as well." He had a bit of a mischevious look on his face, before sighing lightly. "The last suggestion I can make is visiting the Outriders barracks and seeing the people that protect this land. If we are to be alliesm, even if unofficially, you should know which kind of assistance we can provide after all."
