Christina took a moment to consider his words after he had voiced his thoughs about the future, before he made the suggestion to go see about Rosalyn and others, earning a smile from her in return once more.<strong>"I believe we should, she is after all our resident expert on the wilds, amusing as that might be for a noblewoman."</strong>She took a chance to kiss his lips corner and smiled while heading a few steps ahead of him while leaving the living room behind, accompanying him towards the stairs seeming intent to join him, perhaps all the way to his bedroom, though there was no real indication about her planning to jump him whilst there. More of a sort of casual approach to watching him change and to carry on their ongoing conversation in the meanwhile.<br/><br/><strong>"I have not felt a particular urge to seek out new lovers, but while you were gone I did find myself partaking in pleasures with many a female servant back home. With Alex, I think there's a fair bit of fun to be had regardless of the gender at the time, and I think Carolyn would be the same, once she eased up enough. Given they seem quite willing to share your attentions simultaneously and their family history, I don't think they'd react badly to the suggestion. As for others..."</strong>She let out a long sigh momentarily and shook her head.<strong>"Discretion is a word that excludes a braggart who'd blacken my reputation by sordid stories, while a bit of naughty temptation might not be bad from a reputation of being a bold woman in such affairs too much, especially from a braggart, might sully our house name somewhat. Which is why I approach mainly daughters of other houses, but I do keep on my mind that we might see parties in the house with larger crowds in time, and that discretion would be necessary for the sake of many at that point... which would also allow me a chance for further exploration. Of course, I think the chances of finding lovers worth a repeat visit would be fairly low if what I've heard from some gossiping girls are to be taken for serious. Still, I am not going to just dismiss the possibility of the curse, but I think I am already relatively safe with a small but a vibrant number of lovers, male and female alike, in the household here."</strong>She looked at him in a manner she had when they were younger, considering speaking her mind about something but then deciding not to, keeping something back, but the little signals she did so were present enough that a family member could tell.<br/><br/><strong>"I hope that our dearest Rosalyn has found the perfect spot for the seed to grow fruitful and strong in the soil of this place, and I am quite eager to see what the tree that is about to bloom will be like. When you buried the first, did it start to grow at an accelerated pace as if by magic though, or was it more relaxed? I'd wager a dryad's tree would grow faster but I am not sure of the exact time-scale, especially after soaking in all that magic in the house, given the sheer size of that seed,"</strong>she remarked briefly before her cheeks colored somewhat.<br/><br/><strong>"It also makes me wonder, if the presence of such 'fair folk' so close to our home will invite even more curious bits of fun in our lives, we've turned out to be rather lucky in most of our affairs after all,"</strong>she spoke a bit embarrassed but seemingly thoughtful once more.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I considered writing a section about Rosalyn having picked a spot in the back of the house in the garden area and clearing it of any loose stones nearby and using her bare hands to dig a fair sized hole at depth for the seed at the time, and expanding on her welcoming Tehr &amp; Christina there once ready but I got to thinking you'd possibly want to reply in between and if you had preferences on the map where to place the dryad's tree other than the general idea of giving it some space of its own in the back yard behind the house on the property, a spot she'd find to have a small hole nearby which would easily pool water during a rainy day, keeping the surroundings well soaked, that had fresh and healthy soil and that rested above a leyline crossing through the city, though given the sheer size of those, figuring it would be safe enough almost anywhere on the property, just that placing it there would encourag it to grow and feed back to the leyline in turn, adding a little green mana to the otherwise rigid leyline beneath.<br/><br/>Not really borrowing too much from Magic the Gathering but figuring a bit of green mana in the land would see other portions of the city with little back gardens of their own also blooming with the introduction of green, possibly making the city experience a bit of a curious bloom in coming months but little else.<br/><br/>Anyhow, figured we'd move to Rosalyn's company in our next 1-2 posts and from there, might approach the day that is coming, the day the Duke is arriving to Londinium (and likely visiting the Wynt family quickly as well).</div></div>
