To the east of the garden, hidden between the trees is what looks from the outside like small and simple marquee.

But inside it is something very different. Large as any room inside the bar, the floor is covered with richly patterned carpets, as soft underfoot as grass. The walls are draped with the finest silks. Silver lanterns hung from the roof cast geometric patterns from their cut work sides, coloured rainbow hues by glass inserts.

At the room's centre is a raised dais spread with silks and furs, cushions and bolsters; a bed worthy of a king.

Sinric waits by the door, dressed in a flowing silk robe of rich gold and scarlet, his hair elaborately braided away from his neck and a mask of lace covering his eyes.

"Not as much here as it does at home," Eric replies a little flippantly.
"And there the effect is both ways."

So he is cautious. For his own sake.

"Not when I was still a human. I have been there later, of course."

Eric nods.

"They did. It was still beautiful when I saw it."

"It was crowded," he replies. "With people everywhere."

Immensely pleasing to a vampire.

"Night is all I care about," Eric says which is not necessarily true.

"Hmm," Eric says. Noncommittally.

He reaches down again to take hold of Sinric's chin so he can take a look at his eyes. His fingers are strong. And growing cold again.

Eric lifts an eyebrow at him.

Really? it seems to say.

That's a wise choice as Eric wouldn't care.

"Your heart rate is stabilising, so you should be fine on your own soon."

"So meek and demure."
Eric smiles at him.

"How often do people figure out that it is an act?"

"Mmm, and who would admit to being threatened by a gelded and pretty little thing like you?"
It's a rhetorical question.

"Masks are clever that way," Eric agrees.

"Why, thank you," Eric replies.
Genteelly.
