Cyrus had spent the better part of the afternoon with Anais and her new companion. He had enjoyed her company and had been rather reluctant to leave. Though when the rain had finally stopped, he decided he should get a move on. He didn't want to overstay his welcome after all.
Dodging a few large puddles, he made his way across the new marketplace until he arrived back at the Rose Garden. Despite having used his magic, he was still feeling much stronger and replenished than before he had left. It seemed Elora couldn't cure everything after all, he thought with an inward smirk as he let himself in to the house of ill repute. Glancing around, he realized that the rain seemed to be having an affect on all businesses today. Most of the girls were lounging about playing cards and chatting with one another rather than entertaining their usual customers. Breathing in deeply, he bypassed them all and made his way towards the stairs.

Elora was bored. There had been few customers and she had exhausted conversation with the girls. Of course she could have gone outside but it was raining and rain did not mix well with velvet skirts at all.
So she was lounging in her robe reading one of the books that had found its way into the business. She looked up as she heard footsteps on the stairs. Well, he was home. She sighed and put her book down.

Cyrus let himself into Elora's lavish apartment and gave her a small smile. She looked rather cozy on her chaise.
"You look bored," he mused and bent down to remove his shoes before stepping further into her home. He did not want to incur any wrath for trekking mud onto the beautiful rugs she had lying about. "What have you been doing this afternoon?"

Elora allowed an easy smile to slip across her lips as he entered and watched him remove his boots. Well at least she had him well trained.
"I am bored, I've been reading to pass the time." She sat up and held her hand out to him. "And where have you been?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. He looked suspiciously happy.

"I can't believe you were reduced to reading to pass the time," Cy smirked lightly and walked further into the room. "I went out for a walk. Had some lunch. Nothing terribly exciting either," he replied, shedding his coat and then reaching out to take her small hand in his. "I cannot understand why people like the rain," he smirked and moved to take a seat beside her.

Elora laughed.
"Me neither, I hate it and the cold." She smirked and reached up to touch his cheek. "Makes you want to seek out some warmth, doesn't it." She grinned a glint in her eyes.

Cyrus smirked as he looked into her eyes. He knew that look all too well now. Reaching up, he slipped his hand over hers and gave it a light squeeze.
"It does," he agreed with a small nod. "Here. I can keep you warm," he smiled and shifted to pull her up against him. He wrapped her tightly in his arms and slouched back on the plush sofa with her. "Better?" he asked as he glanced down at her.

Elora smiled as he pulled her against him, though was taken aback when he pulled her back to hug her. She eyed him with a bit of suspicion.
"This isn't quite what I had in mind." She said, tracing her fingers up his leg.

"I know," he replied simply and looked down to her hand at his leg. "But don't you think it is just as nice?" he asked with an arched brow as he looked into her eyes. They were so worldly and jaded he decided. He wasn't entirely sure he liked that. "Why does it always have to be so... carnal between us?" he asked.

Elora laughed and pushed away from him.
"Did you really just say that?" She said, clearly rather amused. It was like he had been swapped for another person on his trip out. "We are djinn, we are of fire and heat. What would you rather do? Talk?"

Cyrus lifted his eyes to the ceiling above them as she pushed away from him in disbelief.
"Yes. I really did just say that," he replied and sat up a little straighter. "And it is true that djinn are of fire and heat, but those things do not always mean sex Elora. Would it be so horrible if I did want to have a conversation with you every once in a while?"

Elora wrinkled her nose.
"What would we talk about?" She asked genuinely, she was pretty sure they did not have much in common. "In case you haven't noticed my business is sex. And yours, well I really don't care to know the details of whatever it is Isambard has you doing all the time." She frowned a little. "Surely you're not bored of me already?" That had never happened to her before.

Cy smirked slightly at her comment and he looked down for a moment. Was he bored of her? He wasn't entirely sure how to answer that.
"What about the things beyond your business and Isambard. Your life before, the things you like. Sex cannot be the only thing about you Ellie," he smiled a little and reached out to gently brush some of her blond hair behind her ear, his mind wandering briefly to another with soft blond hair.

Elora frowned a little and sighed as she watched him. He was a brainless oaf, or supposed to be. Why couldn't he be like other men.
"I don't talk about the past." She said with a hint of anger. "I have no interest in talking about it." She watched the way he looked at her and sighed. "There is no other dimension to me Cyrus, so don't look for one. I am what I am and I enjoy what I do. I didn't take you for a cuddles and small talk kind of man."

Cy breathed in deeply as she started to get angry. Pulling his hand away, he looked off across the room. It irritated him, he decided. There was so much to mask what it was.
"Well, I can hardly be surprised about that Elora," he said quietly and pushed himself to his feet. "You made your mind up about me long ago. I think I should go."
