"Oh! Building things! That's something I'm certainly good at. As a matter of fact, I could maybe help you too if you'd like? I love to tinker. It's always been my absolute favorite pastime," Maia grinned. "Would you be interested in me taking a look? I make no promises, but maybe I could think of a way to un-damage you," she suggested, then blinked as the door went and she heard heavy footsteps on the floor.
"I am sorry I'm so late Elora. I found..." Cyrus started, though stopped in the doorway as his eyes fell on the girl before his Ellie. A frown fell over his features and he quickly stormed forward to grab her by the arm and yank her away. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" he demanded, his eyes sparking as he towered over her.

Elora smiled at the girl's enthusiasm. She didn't hear the door open and close and was not awar of Cyrus until he had yanked the girl up by the arm.
"Cyrus, stop." She said firmly. "It's okay, she's not here to cause trouble." She looked up into his eyes. "Maia, this is my husband, Cyrus, Cyrus, this is Maia she wandered in by accident."

Maia's heart was pounding as she looked up at the massive and scary man holding tightly to her. She didn't know why, but she had suspected that Elora's husband would be nice like her.
Cyrus blinked at Elora's firm order and he looked over at her without letting the girl go. As she went on, he looked back at the girl and eyed her a moment before slowly setting her back down on her feet and letting her arm go. Wait... had Elora just called him her husband?
Maia shakily rubbed her arm and shrank back from the large man once he released her.
"Hello," she smiled a little. "I was just keeping Elora company and she was telling me all about the city."
Cyrus blinked out of his thoughts as the girl greeted him.
"You had better not be here to cause trouble," he warned, continuing to give her a suspicious look.

"Realistically how much trouble is she going to cause?" Elora asked with a smirk. "She's human and a waif at that. She's willing to help us for room and board. Says she is good with her hands. I bet she'd be able to get to the upper rooms too."

Cyrus folded his arms over his chest as he continued to watch the girl for a moment. He supposed Elora was right. Though she was hardly in the condition to protect herself. He would have to make sure he did not wander too far away until he made his own mind up about the girl.
"Elora's right. I'll do anything. I'm not afraid of hard work," Maia declared, her smile renewed. "It would be fun to help unlock the secrets of this place."
Cyrus breathed in deeply and let it out slowly.
"Fine. But one wrong move and you will cease to exist."
Maia swallowed back a smirk at the threat and she nodded solemnly.
"Understood sir."

Elora watched the girl for a moment and had to smirk herself. She had balls, she could see that clearly.
"He does mean it Maia. And I would not stop him, I dislike betrayal of trust as much as he does, so honour the faith I have in you."

Maia turned her eyes to Elora and gave her a broad, warm smile.
"I swear. I will not betray you. It would go against everything I believe in," she smiled and nodded to her. "I am too excited to hear your stories and help you sort things out to even think of it."
Cyrus lifted his brow and glanced to Elora. He didn't want to have someone else there with them. He liked having Elora to himself. He had had her to himself for so long now. He didn't want to share. Still, she was tiny and could fit in places he couldn't, so he supposed that would come in handy.
"Go make us some supper," he demanded more than asked.
"Sure. I'll get right on that," Maia smiled between them and eased past his bulk to head to the kitchen.

Elora smirked up at him and watched the girl go to the kitchen.
"Play nice." She said softly, holding her hand out to him. "She's just stopping by and it goes against my principles to not offer a bed and some food before she moves on."

Cyrus watched the girl leave the room, then moved closer to Elora to take her hand and move to sit beside her.
"How are we to know she won't tell others that we're here? I don't want meddlers," he growled a bit and looked into her eyes. "What was this 'husband' business?"

Elora sighed and raised an eyebrow.
"She has seen me already so that is a pointless argument. She could tell anyone anyway. And. "She shrugged. "It just came out. I thought it sounded good ... maybe it's a bit of a fantasy of mine, indulge me."

A smirk stole across his lips at her request and he studied her beautiful face for a moment. There were certainly worse things in the world to be called.
"You wish for me to indulge you?" he smirked and reached his hand up to rest lightly against her cheek. "I think that I could manage that," he smirked and caressed her smooth cheek.

Elora smiled and looked up into his eyes, he did nothing but indulge her.
"Well, it's not really a lie is it? I consider you to be my husband. Legal ties are for humans. Not beings like us."

Cyrus thought about that for a moment. She certainly did have a point there. He didn't like the thought of anyone else being with her now that he had her to himself and he certainly had never had any interest in anyone but her. Smirking a little, he leaned in and kissed her deeply.
"I love you Elora, my wife," he murmured softly against her lips, enjoying the words as he spoke them.

Elora smiled warmly and kissed him back. She really would never get tired of that.
"I love you too husband." She laughed a little, it did feel good to say that. "So humour me where the girl is concerned."

Cy's smirk turned wry and he slipped his fingers into her hair to toy with it gently.
"Fine. As long as she behaves herself. I will have no harm come to you. Ever," he said quietly as he held her eyes.
