He's been thinking about it since the first moment he'd spotted her, dancing in the crowd. In all honesty, he's been thinking about it longer; his first day in Darrow had been a confusion, but he'd still had eyes in his head to see her, hadn't he? Still, he's more aware of it now as they walk side by side towards her building, close enough that his arm brushes against hers. He's taller than her, considerably, but that doesn't pose a problem, at least not in his experience.

The way they dress, these women of Darrow, is maddening, too. He knows that Elora doesn't belong here anymore than he does but, like him, she's made an effort to modernise her dress, and he can't help but be aware of the shape of her under her clothes. He can't but wonder what she might look like under it.

"Is this it, then?" he says, looking up at the building as they arrive, as her steps slow. He can't keep (or doesn't try to keep) the note of disappointment out of his voice. Let her hear it.

With his breath warm against her ear, Elora inhales audibly, letting herself be guided backwards, in the direction of her bedroom. Maybe it ought to speak for itself, but it feels good to be wanted, just as much so now as it did back when she was no one. In so many other ways, though, she's changed since then. For the most part, before Airk, sex was generally a quick and simple matter, a few stolen minutes for a physical release, then over.

As with so many other things, Airk was different. He took his time, made her feel special, a prince making her his princess, even if he used the same lines and tactics with so many other girls. Back then, that was everything to her. She was no one, after all. She isn't now. And while maybe there would still be a time and a place for that, it doesn't hold the appeal for her that it once did, isn't the thought that makes her pulse quicken slightly.

"I think I've had more than enough of being worshiped," she replies, her voice low, a soft chuckle in it. It's true, if not in the same way he meant it. She doesn't want to be anyone's savior now; she just wants to feel good for a while, to not have to think so much. "Make me feel it. Feel you."
