"You can put them down there." Elora gestured to the corner of the room that had been designated as hers. She had dragged Cyrus to the market so that she could pick up some things to make it more hers. They had returned with a lot of colourful fabrics, cushions and clothes. She quite liked the eclectic fashions of those around the pantheon. Much less restricting than the fashions of Albion.

Cyrus followed Elora into her room and stood awkwardly for a moment before she directed him on where to go. Walking over to the corner she pointed him towards, he carefully set down the rather heavy bags.
"I think you have enough now to get comfortable. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?" he asked as he straightened and turned to face her.

Elora raised an eyebrow.
"You think? i haven't even started." She was used to luxury and it was luxury she planned to surround herself with. "Would you like some tea?" She asked, walking over to the pile of things and pulling out some fabric to admire it. Yes, it felt good to be back.

Cyrus gave a light snort of laughter and folded his arms over his chest. He could very well imagine that she had not even begun to get started on getting herself comfortable. He remembered very well how the Rose had looked before he had left to search for Isambard.
"Only if you are going to have some," he replied.

Elora gave him an amused look.
"Nah I'm just going to sit here and watch you drink it." She winked and went over to an elaborate kettle. She placed her hand on the handle and it started to boil. "Take a seat Cyrus, relax. You don't need to be so ... uptight anymore."

Cyrus breathed in at her smart reply back. He had not wanted her to go to any trouble for him since he had intended to leave now that she seemed through with needing him to help her. Her invitation to sit was met with a lifted brow and a glance towards one of the chairs in her room.
"I'm not uptight," he replied as he went to the seat and seemed to study it a moment before moving to sit down slowly in it. The seat creaked a little under his weight, though it seemed sturdy enough to hold his bulk.

"No?" She asked, pouring the tea into two elaborately decorated mugs. "You don't seem to smile much or take time to relax." She picked the mugs up and carried them across to the seating area. "This is the time to relax, once Isambard becomes more himself it will be nothing but work work work."

Cyrus gave a light snort of laughter and reached up to take the cup from her. Its warmth felt good in his large hand.
"I'm not sure I understand why you think this is the time to relax," he frowned a little. "Isambard is mortal still. I won't have anything happen to him again."

Elora inspected his nails.
"Yes yes, but I mean, now. We're in the Pantheon, he is in the Pantheon, it's fine at this moment. Don't you ever just take some time for yourself?"

Cyrus looked at her as if she were crazy for a moment. He wasn't entirely sure what she was getting at.
"What do you mean? Of course I do. I... sleep and relax," he replied somewhat lamely. There wasn't much else for him anymore. He had been so consumed with his mission that now that he was in his lord's presence this did feel relaxed for him.

Elora sipped her tea. She liked to drink it when it was boiling, it warmed her insides nicely.
"So what do you do? When you're not being the big bad bodyguard?"

Cyrus looked down to his tea and then sipped it as well. He wasn't sure what to tell her. Was he ever not in that role? His eyes drifted over to her mounds of shopping.
"I go to the market. I explore the new things there," he replied and turned his eyes back to her. "Why? What do you do?"

Elora grinned at his challenge.
"Shop, of course, read, preen, decorate." She shrugged, there was so much she enjoyed doing. "Talking with friends, taking long baths. Oh! i found something for you in the treasure haul of the tomb."

Cyrus allowed a wry smirk to slip across his lips as she listed her favourite pastimes. They did not surprise him at all. In all the time he had known her, those things seemed to define her. Among other things as well, he thought, but promptly shut that line of thinking off. The mention of a gift caused his brow to lift again.
"You did? What could you possibly find in there for me?" he asked with mild interest.

Elora grinned as she got something that was almost a smile out of him and bounced up off her chair.
"Ahh there were many treasures there, I think I could have found something for everyone in there." She wandered over to the chest of drawers and opened the top one. After rummaging around she produces the wrist cuff she had found. "Here, I thought it would suit you." She walked over to him and dangled it in a teasing manner. No djinn could resist shinies, not ever Cyrus.
