Elara mused aloud at Cyne's admission as to what he had expected to happen, had he not been claimed as a trophy and bargaining chip in the treaty for peace between her people and his. Her fingers ran over his shoulder idly as she felt him turn toward her after she had blown out the candle, a lazy smile crossing her face that he most likely couldn't see. "I look forward to you indulging me, Cyne. I'm sure with your eagerness for knowledge in seemingly all subjects, you will be quite the entertaining host." She teased him back, hearing his breathing deepen slowly as he drifted off in her bed. Her fingers continued their slow, steady stroking of Cyne's body until the dark cerulean blue orbs of her own closed and the vampire queen slept deeply, her head turned toward her guest.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>The following morning was started quite badly by the pounding on the door of Elara's bedchamber, a rude sound at anytime of the day as her maids knew to knock once gently and then slip in and out without a problem. The overcast red sky outside the windows had not changed as they slept, not that anyone would have expected them to, but the rude awakening made the queen's eyes part open slowly as she studiously ignored the shouting and scuffling that sounded outside it. "And so it begins." She muttered, grabbing a spare pillow and pulling it over her head morosely.
