The chill of night had set in, and Cassandra didn't want to get up. Her belly bared to the bedroom ceiling, she fished around with her paw for the blankets that had retreated to the bottom of the bed. It wasn't so late that she couldn't still sneak into her rented room without some dignity, but the room here was warm from the activity of bodies lately ended.

Genghis shifted, turning on his side and cushioning his head on his arm as he watched her in the moonlight from the window--the curtain half-drawn. His blue eyes swept lazily over her form before coming to rest on her face. He absently reached over and brushed a lock of her headfur away from her forehead, "Are you staying tonight, Beauty?"

A playful smile slid across her face as she stretched her forepaws above her head, "I shouldn't." She rolled to face him, her tail curling up and over the two of them. "Are you asking me to?"

His own dark tail curled around hers as he offered her a languid smile, "I am. If you can of course."

"For awhile at least." She finally managed to get the corner of the bottommost blanket and hiked her paw back to pass it upwards to herself. "I do need to be ready for that uptown job at dawn."

"You know there are ways to remedy you having to return to that rented room of yours every evening, even when you have the early jobs," he caught the edge of the blanket now that she'd pulled it up and arranged it to lay a bit more comfortably around himself as well.

Cassandra lifted one paw to his chest, frowning, her eyes sad inside the frustration of the rest of her expression. "We've been over this before."

The Siamese managed not to grimace, "I'm not even saying on a permanent basis, just if you kept a dress or two here you wouldn't have to leave before dawn every time you come."

Cassandra sighed and gently butted her forehead against his shoulder. "And if some rat-whiskered snoop found them? My work depends on them thinking I'm unattached."

Genghis sighed and raised a paw to stroke over her headfur, "I know that, but it does not mean I have to like it."

She pressed her head back against the contact. "If tomorrow goes well, maybe I can relax and lay off the jobs for awhile." She said as she shifted her hips closer and draped an arm across his waist.

He purred quietly at that, "I certainly wouldn't mind that. Am I allowed to inquire into this job or not in this case?"

She considered that for a moment. "I guess it's alright this time. I don't imagine you have much contact with the tools I used to set this up. I'm going in with the cleaning staff at the Palace tomorrow."

His brows rose sharply at that, "You're dealing with that bastard Jones then?"

She shakes her head, "I'm working around him. That's one reason I chose the morning shift. He'll be up all night gladhanding guests and passed out in the morning. I shouldn't risk letting him see my face."
