Elara herself had taken her meal quietly and had kept her back to the mortals, allowing them at least the illusion of privacy of a meal together. She didn't even rise from her seat or turn around until Cyne had begun to speak to her after Sybil had exited the room to her own for the night. She patted her mouth with a napkin and laid the cloth on the tray beside her plate, standing from her desk as she folded her hands before herself while her guest spoke. Her blue eyes watched his face, eyebrows arched like a bird's wings in flight in her neutral expression. "We should all be scared if her fear continues to make her foolish, Cyne." Elara said simply. She was not angry with Cyne, but she was absolutely livid with the behavior of the fire mage in the next room and did not care if the woman could hear her or not. "Are you sure you would not like to stay with her or in quarters of your own, with this new<i>development</i>in our treaty?"<br/><br/>The vampire queen had a reason for offering to re-house Cyne a second time, for both his comfort and to ease some of the spurs that seemed to spring off the mage that had followed him through the portal, if only a little bit. The less tension that mortal had pouring off her, the less Elara would worry the time might come where she would have to snap the woman's neck to save her own skin. She pulled a strand of dark hair between her thumb and first finger as she stared off into space, seemingly lost in thought as the one maidservant returned to collect the empty trays and made a quiet murmur in Elara's ear on her way past to collect the one on the older vampire's desk.<br/><br/>The arched brows furrowed in disapproval at the maid's whispered message and she nodded once, a sharp and decisive movement when the maid returned her gaze to Elara. Without another peep, the maid swept out of the room. "Caldwyn made it out of here without trouble. So I suspect by morning, the portal will be destroyed. We will have to deal with the repercussions of that decision when the public realizes I made the choice to keep us from ever returning to your realm again. Ending any further possibility of the war re-igniting."
