Like prey cornered by a predator, Eliana watched him. She sat, maintaining eye contact.

"What were you thinking about?"

The question was her answer. She didn't want to watch a movie. To be distracted and not be able to look at him. She wanted to know, to understand, this moment. She felt like it was right out of reach, taunting her with her inability to comprehend or process all the different emotions in the air.

He'd offer her his hands, extending them slowly, for her to grab and hold onto.

"I was thinking about you, that I'm glad I agreed to this, to let you keep me darling."

He'd look into her eyes, smiling at her, it was a soft grin that showed he was happy to be here with her.

"I hope I'm not scaring you or anything, not like I could big bad demoness like you."

Eliana wished her eyes didn't show how wary of all this she was. Her footing; where was her footing now.

She was caught between smiling back and frowning. This moment was soft, delicate, even. Eliana was not good with fragile things. She broke them into tiny pieces. Unfixable pieces.

"You," she paused to chose her words carefully. She couldn't recall the last time she had done it. "When you find a girl this ends, you remember that? Don't get too cozy, a guy like you will have no trouble finding some nice, law abiding girl to settle down with."

His smile would lessen, he was reminded of the nagging feeling in the back of his mind. He was selfish and jealous, he didn't want to share someone he cared about, at least not like this. There was something about it that made his blood boil, he liked Eliana but he didn't play nice with others.

Malvoes would sigh, "I suppose so, I'd like to enjoy this though, as long as it lasts. If you'll allow, that is. But if you would prefer it, I'll try to keep my emotions to myself, not bother you with them. It's your call my dear." He'd give her a sweet smile, attempting to hide the sadness in his eyes at the thought. He wanted her to know that he cared for her too, that this didn't have to be meaningless, no matter how long or short it lasted, but as he stated, that was her choice.

Eliana gave what she knew was the most copout answer she could.

"Do what feels best for you. I was just... reminding you."

Warning you, more like. Eliana thought.

She leaned back, arms behind her head as a kind of makeshift pillow.

"How long do you think this'll last, anyway?"

An unsatisfying answer which didn't really help him in any manner of the word. But he didn't want to press her. Malvoes would shift, so he was laying along the couch, his head on one of the armrests.

"Honestly I'm not sure, I'm not actively looking for a girlfriend, I don't use any dating sites or apps. So who knows, days, weeks, months, years. I don't have a time frame but if you ever want to end this dear..." He didn't want to finish that thought in any sense.

Eliana crawled across him, hands overlapping on his chest with her chin resting on them as she lay comfortably along his body. She wasn't smiling as she might normally have been.

"I don't end my relationships," she tells him matter-of-factly. "It's a rare thing. Can only recall twice in all my life."

He'd slowly runs his fingers through her hair, she was warm and it felt nice that she was this close to him.

"Alright darling, who knows, you might keep me for all my life. However long that is, assuming that you're immortal and I'm mortal, probably." He'd wrap his left arm around her, using his right to continue to fiddle with her hair.

Eliana closed her eyes, syncing her breath up with his and enjoying the feeling of his fingers through her hair.

"I've never been poor," Eliana said, referencing their earlier conversation. There was a confession type of vibe to her tone.

Malvoes would watch her, committing her face to memory, she was very attractive but her face alone was beautiful and he thoroughly enjoyed looking at her and admiring her.

"Is that so?" He was wondering why the outburst, what she meant by it. It was obvious she was well off now, but he was curious about telling him about always having money.
