She had expected something more from him, perhaps some form of cheer in the sultry voice she so coveted, but it was flat and tarnished as he gave her permission to enter his home. The silver hairbrush was turned over in her padded palm again, mind twisting around the idea that perhaps, perhaps, visiting the Boss had been a poor idea. Regardless, the golden Crone limped forward into the dark home of her handsome leader, regaining her ability to walk with a forced weight on the offending limb. Why was it so dark? Fire eyes narrowed to adjust to the absence of the light, a frown forming on her features. Sie-reese, you cahnnot sit in the dahrk liek this; it ess bahd for your eyes, you know. Was it? She had no clue, but it sounded good as she crossed the room to tear the old rag away from the crack in his wall that served as a window. Light filtered in, illuminating her Thistle King upon his somber throne.
There was apathy in her as she approached, not thinking that he might realize where she had been and what she had done. Testing the boundaries of their strange professional relationship, one golden hand came to rest on his shoulder, the other offering out the hairbrush to him with a saccherine smile. Aye brought this for you, Sie-reese; ay present. Perhaps some would think it a foolish gesture, but she knew his vanity well enough and saw it the most fitting — where Eris loved shiny things like a bird drawn to a glisten from the sun, Sirius Revlis loved himself with all of the adoration of Narcissus in his pond-mirror. It was not an unfounded love. Any would agree him to be a handsome creature. If only his interior matched his exterior.
