Watching the little trade off between the two, Cyne realized that Elara had more than just a war to worry about. He wasn't sure should Hania was, but he'd have to find out. He knew that knowledge was power, and his magic wasn't the only thing he wanted to fall back on if things got a little darker. Elara kept looking at him quizzically, almost like she was intrigued to how he would respond. The same look his father'd give him during his training. He could hear her trying to get a response out of him, and he even straightened a little as she turned her gaze onto his form.<br/><br/>"You know Elara, the way you keep looking at me, I have to wonder, what are you looking for? I'm sure you've seen the male form before, no?"<br/><br/>Not wanting to back down from the vampiress' challenge, he walked over to the bed, and sat at the edge, running his hands over the fabric, feeling it glide under his touch. He imagined these had to be some of the most lavish sheets in the kingdom, and the bed wasn't unlike his own at home. He smirked a little, realizing that this now was his home. He leaned further onto the bed, sitting against the head board of the bed, legs stretched out. Putting his arms up behind his head, he tipped his head back and relaxed a bit, feeling the bed support his weight with tender comfort.<br/><br/>"Do tell me, Queen Elara, why you'd allow such a person as I, the son of your enemy until today, to rest so comfortable on your bed? I assure you I am not going to attack you, but just like in the tub, what makes you so comfortable about me that you trust I won't wait until you sleep and leave, or worse?"<br/><br/>Although he spoke calmly, he meant his words, and they were a challenge in their own. He'd always been the worst at pushing his luck in situations, but this wasn't something he could talk his father down from. This wasn't him missing a regal meeting for the kingdom. He was in the bed of the queen of the entire vampire force, and he was being a bit more smug than he imagined he'd appreciate.<br/><br/>"I mean no offense of course, and while I appreciate your hospitality, surely you've been crossed by humans, and even your own kind, before? I might be a prince, but even royalty makes errors. I must say in your position, I'd be more likely to keep me in a cell."
