Elias[/center][/color][/h1][hr]
Elias was slightly uncomfortable at her sudden display of affection, however, he didn't let it show.

[color=royalblue]"Or perhaps they were pursuing you for you extravagant beauty?"[/color] Elias chuckled playfully and poked gently at her ribs, attempting to tickle Alexis. [color=royalblue]"You and I both know that looks are nearly everything in this city. After all, look at me! I've been wildly successful, what are we chalking that up to? I'm not the richest or from the most well known family, so I say it [i]must[/i] be my dashing features."[/color]

The Grimm smiled broadly and continuing prodding her ribs. His playful tone came naturally, an experience he had almost forgotten. He wasn't having to struggle to maintain a fake image in front of Alexis; rather, he was struggling to keep his emotions in check. Any sign of guilt he had over his experiences with the various woman of the city was forced aside. After all, it wasn't like he was courting Alexis.

After a quiet moment, Elias sat up and gently kicked Alexis boot with his own. [color=royalblue]"But, alas, handsome looks don't kill Wesen, now do they?"[/color]

The woman laying beside him was beautiful in the moonlight, her splayed hair illuminated quite well by the soft lunar rays. Elias took a long moment to stare down at her, a small smile creeping onto his lips as he quietly observed her features. From the gentle curve of her nose to the well-defined jawline, Elias couldn't find a single flaw. It was quite blissful to just sit there with her, however he knew he still had much to accomplish by dawn. The moon's slanting rays hinted that it would soon expire, a fact that Elias begrudgingly acknowledged, however that didn't stop him from staring for a moment longer.
