The half-elven woman smiled in a warm and fond manner at him while bowing her head slightly at his words and offer, the kisses on her hands having been accompanied with a redness along her cheeks but settling down a bit towards the end. She seemed a bit thoughtful at that point but let out a short chuckle, speaking in a gentle tone.<em>"I chose to stay at your side willingly and happily, rather than pursue higher learning at the cost of being removed from your side for a longer period of time."</em>She smiled bowing her head slightly.<em>"Your mother was happy to teach me the basics of course and I learned a bit more listening to the tutors present in those earlier years, but to finish that education might take me away."</em>Her voice halted, as she seemed almost ashamed for some reason for a second.<em>"It might also restore my old uncle's urgings for me to be wed to a bastard of a fellow lineage, a half-elf of notable talent but of insufferable arrogance, whom I've been more than happy to escape far from by remaining at your side and even my uncle's grumblings are nothing before the will of the family."</em>She blushed at this but squeezed his hands.<em>"So I am already well rewarded to be able to stay."</em>She bowed at this point, to let him focus upon his bath better.<br/><br/>Upon his arrival to his bedroom, Tehr found a fresh set of clothes awaiting him that were laid out on the bed, made of fine silks and regal without coming off as gaudy, not decorated by gilded strings or imagery but of sturdy yet soft and fine fabric, and with obvious care put into the stitching. On that note he was left with a note there, in Angelique's handwriting.<em>"The Lady of the House had this made as a present to her son, but unfortunately poor weather caused the package to be delayed until after the celebrations, but the suit is made by her new favorite tailor and dressmaker. Hopefully it will serve you well."</em><br/><br/>It was a mixture of both his personal tastes as he had shown to his mother over the years, and her own tastes of how a handsome young man of importance should dress, but overall a style suitable for both a man from the Isles and one welcome to the Courts of Italy.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, once dressed and ready to have the high tea Tehr found the living room already occupied by ladies Christina and Rosalyn, both of whom were smiling and talking in a light manner about the beautiful outfits they'd seen at the ball, seeming to be keeping the conversation at a polite and acceptable level at the time. The tea cups had already been brought forth, but his timing was quite well suited for Angelique chose that moment to appear with the tray holding the tea-pot, as well as the plate of little biscuits and confectionaries to include.<strong>"Morning! We're expecting Lady Emily, but she has sent word she will be here. There's also been word that Lord Forgefist would like to set up a meeting, his message arrived while you were bathing."</strong>Angelique bowed her head slightly after saying this, moving to pour the tea and preparing for the gathering to begin. Given the sounds outside, it was quite in time for Emily to arrive as well.
