Tehr shook his head, "barbaric?  Indeed not sir," then turning to include Lady d'Ravos, he added, 'Ma'am.  For you may not know about me that my brother, sister, and I were raised by a father who wished for a return to simpler days.  While my family often flitted about the forest skyclad, as if elfs or nymphs of legend, I was brought up that such simple ways are better.   It was only through years of formal training at the hands of my uncle in the ways of courtly practice as well as magic did I manage to sand off the barest rough edges and hide behind the thinnest veneer of civility."<br/><br/>He smiled and said, "No, I think if I were to live my life the way I'd want, and not the way expected of nobility, you'd quite seriously consider ME the barbarian.  You've not only nothing to apologize for, but in fact show me up in such matters of protocol, and I beg your forgiveness for my crass ways.<br/><br/>He nodded and bowed as Tiel and the Lady left, but beamed as Emily approached.  A smile that was only somewhat dulled by the halfling mage's approach as well.  Tehr said absolutely nothing to the opponent mage.  He didn't trust himself to remain civil, simply choosing to nod and agree with the thought that the man needed to remember not to be too stuck up.<br/><br/>After he left he answered Emily, "Well, I'd love to see the lands tomorrow.  Both the farms and the wilds, if you've a horse that I can ride.  But I am quite eager to see the outriders, and was hoping to see them perhaps spar or at least practice?  But that's for tomorrow, as for tonight, I thought that your lord father and lady mother might require my company, but I sense that after such a bout, they may need some privacy.  In any regard, I find that I would like to put myself into the capable and caring hands of the d'Ravos women.  I've heard you, as a gang, certainly know how to entertain a guest and would be a fool not to avail myself of your hospitality."<br/><br/>Tehr thought about the stories Emily had told of the sisters all playing 'topple the giant' but if truth be told, he simply wondered if he couldn't bed the other two before the trip was over.  Such was his mindset that he thought thusly, and not of more practical matters.  He also knew that Emily was still eager to take his oversized cock into her back door, and there was definitely sparks between he and Applemane, though that could wait.  He really should write letters as well, though they could wait till the morning easily enough.
