Elowen is greatly amused by the course of the act this evening. A small part is because he is able to do more than normal; the audience being open to magic allows him to mix in far more actual magic than mere illusion. Instead of merely appearing to cut his lovely and newly minted assistant Angelique in half in a box, this time he actually separates her, and has her skirted and fishnet clad lower half walk around a bit, while her buxom torso gestures from a table top. Instead of replacing her with a tiger when he has her enter a covered cave, he simply transforms the beauty into a stunning white tiger, allowing her to pad through the audience in her new form. She even stops and licks the face of one of Clay's erstwhile coworkers who had joined him in coming to the show this eve. The piece de resistance has to be when he shrinks Angelique down, and does so for real, not just with smoke and mirrors, allowing an audience member to hold her in his hand, the tiny woman smaller in size than a Barbie doll. All in all, it was as enjoyable and successful an act as any, but that is still not the main source of his amusement.
No, Elowen is mostly amused by how exceptional Angelique is as an assistant, as his partner on stage and working the audience. When he does his section on hypnotism with audience members, it is not lost on Elowen how Angelique goes out and works the audience, being a flirtatious beauty with single men, a knowing confidant with the women, switching from overtly sexual to confidently feminine easier than Elowen changes outfits in between sections of the show. But she does that too, going from the red and black Vegas showgirl outfit he transformed her wearing, to a sparkly catsuit for the shrinking, a rather stunning bikini in which to be cut in half, and back to her showgirl attire for the finale, all to amazed applause and appreciative gestures.
Now at the end, Elowen is stunned by his take for the night. Not the money, though tips and purchases of swag did run far higher than normal. No, in the rake of aura he was able to collect. For the main reason he does these shows is that the positive energy of the audience is palpable, and he can siphon it, culture it as you will, and that aura further fuels his magic. And this is the largest such take of positive aura energy he has collected in more than a hundred years. He thought modern audiences too jaded to produce this much joy and laughter, this much positivity in aural energy. But, as he sits in the main room of his suite, he looks over the bathroom door where Angelique is getting changed, and realizes it is her that made the difference. Not simply her presence, but that energy Elowen detected in the audience just before he selected the man Clay, his openness to magic, the depth to which it imbued his existence.
Getting up, Elowen walks to the bathroom, finding Angelique in silk panties and bra, smiling broadly as he enters. "Hello Elowen, and thank you so much again for choosing me to be your assistant. This is far better than anything I had done in my entire life, and I am so happy to be yours" While her feminine visage is stunning, and he is possessed of male drives (well, for that matter, he has dabbled with being a woman in the past so knows and appreciates the roles of both genders in such matters), he instead sits on a stool, looking at her pensively.
"Angelique, you remember yourself, don't you? And..and you even understand what you are, why this happened, why I chose you, don't you?" Because he senses it now, the reason she was so exceptionally good at this.... confirmed when she speaks. "Yes, my past life as Clay, well, it was a most appropriate name, wasn't it? I had long felt that I was destined for more...not more power or a better job, but, more than being merely myself. Vivid dreams as various animals, even objects. And of course as a woman, though this reality, this figure you crafted me rivals any I ever dreamt of becoming. When you called for a volunteer, I was actually startled to find my hand raised, for I had not consciously chosen to do so. But then I felt the call, the pull, and when you chose me, I understood that you felt it too."
Elowen nods, the depth of her understanding surprises him still but he also knows this makes things so much easier, and better for him. But he stands and steps to her, about to speak but she catches him off guard, stepping to him as well, her body close to his, hand to his chest. "Elowen, I am yours, but not in the possessive way of a merely human female. I can feel all the magic in me, all of it, but none of it is at my own command. I was a battery, forever unused, brimming with power and potential. You found me, activated me, and all that energy, all that I am, is yours now, to use as you please. The mortal humans talk of friends with benefits, and so I am your assistant with benefits, but with no expectations whatsoever. I wish to please you, and indeed, can tell that will happen often, but also I know you like to bed mortal women, and even on occasion men by taking on a female form. I support that, and am happy to be with you regardless." She taps her chin then leans up, kisses him, before tiptoeing a bit to whisper in his ear, "It is as if I love you, but not only do not expect you to love me, but don't even desire you to do so Elowen"
He blinks and then smiles "Angelique my dear, part of the magic in you makes you most insightful, and that appeals to me, even more than your delicious curves. Yes, it is my desire that you love me, but not that I ever need to love you. But I can see myself valuing your presence for quite some time." She nods and runs her hands over his body "I am most happy to be your toy Elowen, and while I almost want to call you master, I understand that is unnecessary, even if it is wholly true"
