She had heard the name several times now. Elora. Apparently she was a beauty beyond compare and that both intrigued and infuriated her. Caia had worked damn hard to build up a reputation for herself. No longer was she subject to the whims of her old man. She had been certain to make sure he would never bother her or anyone for good. She had clawed her way up out of the gutter and ingratiated herself with those that thought themselves higher than the rest of them. She would not have some interloper come in and steal her clientele
It was easy to find her. The new district was clean and organized. It felt like it had been an age since she had last seen something so... normal. Caia stopped in front of the large building and had to admit she was impressed. She had certainly never lived in anything so grand. Lifting her skirts, she took the steps up to the door and reached out to ring the bell. In truth, she had no idea what she was going to say. She just wanted to size up this incomparable beauty.

Elora was enjoying her kingdom emensely. It was much nicer than the place she had in Albion, that was all front really. This building was new and actually nice. All she had to do was put her name about with the local girls. The refugee area really was a slum. Not that she would welcome just anyone in, she was quite picky about the girls she took on.
The sound of the bell was quite unexpected.
"I'm not expecting anyone." She mused to herself untying one of the silk scarves that bound Cyrus' wrist to the headboard as she realised she had no one to answer the door for her. She moved to release his other hand. "Get that for me will you. It's a woman." She said as she climbed off him, an order rather than a request as she tossed the scarves over the back of a chair.

Cy had not heard the bell. He had been thoroughly and happily wrapped up in Elora's game. Her order to answer the door drew a wry snort of laughter. He had left one tyrant for another it seemed, he thought with bemusement. Lowering his arms, he sat up and watched her a moment.
"Can't we ignore them?" he asked and reached to wrap his large hands around her petite waist to pull her back to him.

Elora laughed and leaned down so her face was close to his.
"Nope, business always comes first. Work hard play hard remember." She whispered before kissing him deeply. "I promise I will more than make it up to you."

Cyrus returned her deep kiss, then eased away from her so he could rise. Grabbing a shirt, he pulled it on and started down the stairs as the bell rang again. By the time he reached the door, he had finished with the last button. Reaching up, he smoothed his hair and then pulled the door open. He blinked as he came face to face with a small young woman. If he were perfectly honest, he had half hoped that they could continue to have the house to themselves.
"Yes?" he asked shortly.
Caia's eyes opened wide as a large man appeared in the doorway. She had not been expecting that. Recovering quickly from her surprise, she drew herself up as tall as she could and squared her shoulders.
"I would like to speak with the lady of the house," she said with unwavering confidence. She was here on a mission, she would see it through no matter the obstacles.

Cyrus answering the door afforded Elora time for a little glamour. She went from barely nothing to wearing a dress of deep red with black embroidery acros the boddice and bustle, her hair pinned up perfectly and a full face of make up. Being a djinn was very advantageous sometimes.
She came down the stairs slowly and walked across the reception room and stood by the fire place, watching Cyrus at the door. She could feel the hostility falling off the woman.

Cyrus smirked lightly at the girl's polite demand. He let his eyes roam over her a moment. She was dirty, though it was clear she was trying to make an effort. Where Elora was fair all over, her skin was pale, her eyes and hair dark. He would probably have considered her pretty if she had a little more meat on her bones.
"Of course," he said with a small, polite bow. Pulling the door open a little wider, he stepped aside and glanced towards the stairs, though his eyes settled on Elora looking stunning. Smiling, he waited for the girl to enter, then shut the door behind her.
"Elora, you have a visitor," he smirked lightly as he led the girl further.
Caia stepped into the building and could not stop the slight widening of her eyes. Even her clients did not live in such luxury. Swallowing hard, she tried to ignore the shake of her confidence. Perhaps she really had no right to be here...
Then she saw the woman. She was everything the others had said and more. She was polished and beautiful and with an intensity she had not expected, she felt a burning desire to be her.
"Are you Elora?" she asked, forcing strength back into her pose and voice.

Elora smiled a little as the girl was shown in and turned to face her fully. Hostility and ambition it seemed, a potent combination. She looked her over, and came to a similar observation to Cyrus.
"I am Elora." She replied, smiling. "Can I help you?"

Caia stepped further into the room as she confirmed who she was.
"I had heard your name and what it is you are trying to build here," she said with a light frown. "Is what they are saying true? That you intend to make this into a house of pleasure?"

"It already is." Elora smirked and conjured a tray of tea and sweets. "Please have a seat my dear. Welcome to the Rose Garden, a house of rest and relaxation for the weary worker, well it will be. I have yet to take on any suitable roses."

Caia lifted a dark brow, then took a step back as a tray appeared on a nearby table. For a brief moment, her eyes lingered on the delicious looking sweets, but they quickly lifted back to the woman before her. A frown of confusion slipped across her brow and she glanced briefly to the large man. Her eyes then went to the vases of roses and it started to sink in what she had meant.
"You mean you have no girls," she stated. "Who are you to just barge on in here like this. Some of us have worked damn hard to get where we are. I won't go back to the gutters. I refuse," she frowned and stayed right where she was.

Elora had to laugh, really she did. This girl, coming here to tell her where to go.
"Good, I would not wish anything like that for you." She replied and poured a cup of spiced tea out for her.
"So, where is it you work now?" She asked conversationally, holding the delicate cup and saucer out to her. "A brothel? From your own home?"

Caia's frown deepened at the laugh. Clearly she didn't think she was serious. She watched her pour the tea, then slowly took a step forward to take it gently in her hands. The smell of the tea was heavenly and more amazing than anything any of her clients had ever offered her before. Slowly she sank down stiffly to sit in the chair that had been previously indicated.
"I work for myself," she said with a bit of vehemence. She had managed to escape needing to rely on another man after she had gotten rid of her pimp of a father. "I go to my men."

Elora nodded in understanding, it was funny how they saw themselves as climbing a ladder, a whore was still a whore.
"A bit risky? Going to the domain of men." She said with genuine concern, she really did like the girl's spirit.

"I'd rather take the risk then have them see where I live," Caia replied. "I can handle myself in a situation I've put myself in. I don't want to be blindsided in my own home." Pausing she glanced to the large man again. "Why don't you have any girls yet?"
