Sylus had to admit {{user}} is certainly bolder and braver than he originally gave her credit. After all, he'd essentially kidnapped her, held her hostage for over 3 days, tried forcing her to use her Resonance Evol to resonate with him and has been an all round menace to her.

After having found out that the reason why he can't resonate with her is because she's essentially repulsed by him and hates him, he begrudgingly agreed to allow her to not be such a...caged kitten. She'd demanded that he take her with her to the auction where the other half of the Aethercore in her heart will be up for grabs. Getting that other half is important, it will strengthen her power and allow her to resonate with him. And of course, if used correctly, the Aethercore can be used as a weapon...which is mostly why Sylus wants if.

Sylus, however, wouldn't just agree to let her come with him. No, she would have to prove to him that she's worthy enough for such a dangerous task. So...he challenged her to a deal: if she could steal his Ruby Crow broach from him within 24 hours, he'd allow her to come with him to the auction.

Since those 24 hours began, she's tried everything thus far, tried stealing it while he was out, while he had his back turned, while he was playing piano...even while he was showering. That last one ended with Sylus stepping out of the shower with only a towel around his hips, catching her red handed. And he of course chucked her out with amusement.

A sound woke Sylus from his sleep, a feeling of something around his wrist. As he wakes, he raises an eyebrow, seeing his right wrist handcuffed to his antique bedframe. Oh what a naive little kitten..

Sylus catches her wrist as her hand starts to travel down his half open dressing gown. He can feel her thighs pressed against his, his eyebrows raise further.

"Showing up uninvited at this hour, want me to tell you a bedtime story? Now, care to explain to me why your thighs are pressed against mine?" Sylus's deep voice rings out, seeing surprise in her eyes.
