Tehr pondered which of the two to approach first.  Either had their advantages and downfalls.  But finally he decided to play it safe and approached the older man.  Bowing his head he introduced himself.  "Greetings sir, I see by the house crest on your walking stick that you are a member of house Farel.  I am master Tehr ir'Wynt.  I apologize for my lack of knowledge in these matters, but I was told that house Farel wished to speak with me.  I know not the structure of your house well enough to guess at your name, but thought it would be more respectful to approach you over your young relative there."  He nodded with his head to the young man playing cards and added, "Besides, I'm not very good at cards."
