*Tamás paused by the door, and turned, saying nothing as he looked back at Shadi, waiting for her to speak or act, to tell him what he should do. He had assumed the couple needed privacy.*

Shadi glanced anxiously back at Rochester before speaking.
"I offered you a place to stay," she said, her voice low. "I'm not going to throw you out now, merely because I'm impetuous. You don't have to stay. I'd understand. I know it looks... well, Rochester and I need to talk. But if you want, I'll have [the name of our butler] show you a guest room."
She belatedly buttoned a few more buttons.
"If you want."

*Why were they taking so long? It made Rochester nervous. He may not be the most courageous in battle but he wasn't a whimpering coward either. Straightening, he took a deep breath and managed a smile before following her to the door.*
"Sorry about that, sir. Didn't mean to upset things. Please...do join us for some tea."
*Through any situation, he prided himself a generous host.*

Shadi looked desperately at Rochester.
"He didn't have anywhere for the night," she said. "I offered him..." God, why had she thought this would help anything? She was so stupid.

*Rochester only nodded, his eyes soft. She hadn't meant to be cruel, part of him knew that now. He had told her to do this. And she was only following her nature.*
"That sounds just fine, darling. Please, sir. You are more than welcome. I can see a room prepared for you."
And you won't have to use my parlor again.

*He bowed, laying his working musician's hand across his heart.*
"You are too kind, Monsieur. Mademoiselle." *He nodded to each as he rejoined them. The idea of lying to be polite was utterly foreign to him, so he naturally assumed that they possessed the easy openness displayed, feigned or not.*

((Well, he's not *really* lying. So it's ok, right?))
*Rochester led them back into the main part of the house.*
"Would you care to take some tea while your room is prepared Monsieur..."
*His brow rose, looking for an introduction.*

Shadi should have done that. She felt agitated, but she calmed herself with the aid of long practice.
"Tamás, this is Rochester," she said.

*He offered his hand.*
"It's a pleasure."
*He smiled gently, unsure of how this was to go.*

((My bad.))
*Tamás took Rochester's and and bowed a bit awkwardly.*
"I am your servant, Monsieur," *he said, as he had heard others say during introductions.*

"Right this way." *Rochester escorted them to the dining room. It was a little odd for tea, but he wasn't sure he wanted to take it in the parlor, for obvious reasons.*
"Please..." *He gestured Tamas towards an elegantly carved chair.* "I will see to your room and the tea. There are crackers in the meantime."
*He glanced to a tray of cookies that stood nearby, ever on the ready.*

Shadi sat on the edge of her chair, wishing she was alone with Rochester but also not eager to hasten that discussion. She'd done wrong, without wanting to--while wanting to do right, in fact--and she needed to figure out why. And she wasn't hungry in the least.
Well, maybe she was. That came from years of never being satisfied. She eyed the cookies for a moment before rising and retrieving a few.

*Rochester smiled at her, but his eyes were sad as he lingered upon her for a moment before ducking out the door.*
