Thanos smiled slowly as Rome caressed his cheek. Yes, the child they would find him this evening. Rome described Valhalla, Thor. He knew of the elder vampire by name and sight. His thoughts turned back to the man in front of him as he coughed. Illness was not something he'd dealt with, Vampires did not suffer the aliments of mortals.
With a nod he spoke, "Valhalla is where we need to go. It's on the main strip of New Vegas. You will always be free with me Rome."
As he was clothed from head to toe in an Armani suit he couldn't help the child like grin that lit up his face. How he missed his wardrobe. Fingering the adornment in his ear he gave Rome a curious look. Thanos had never worn such an adornment, it felt heavy though not uncomfortable. His curiosity was forgotten as he watched Rome shiver.
"Yes, I know it. We can be there in a few moments. May I carry you, Rome? " He asked as he stepped closer and wrapped an arm about him. It wasn't a far distance but, Thanos was beginning to fear that Rome had pushed his powers to far with everything. He was unwilling to risk any further harm coming to his lover.

As much fun as it sounded to have Thanos carry him around, it was not something that they should do. Drawing attention to themselves could jeopardize all that they were trying to do. But he appreciated Thanos offer and would hold him to it at a later time when he could enjoy it.
Rome leaned into Thanos and tangled his arm around him, "We would be too conspicuous, my love." he said softly, "But, if you wish us there, we shall be there." he looked up at Thanos hopefully. Granting him a wish might strengthen him a bit. Whilst the child held his cure, Thanos held potential elixir for temporary relief from the terrible weakness that was slowly creeping over Rome. He did not want Thanos to think that it would hurt him to grant a wish since he did not understand the nature of the Djinn so he explained briefly, "It may strengthen me some to grant a wish, even if it is not from the child. It will not save me but it might give us more time."
He knew it was easy to get children to make wishes and the way he dressed Thanos made him look charming and nonthreatening. It should not be a problem for Thanos to get the child to wish for something. Two wishes were all he needed. "Just two wishes...two, no more, no less, and I shall be free." he breathed softly.

He relaxed marginally as Rome explained to him that the granting of a wish may in fact add in his current state. It still worried him that he would cause further harm, but he would trust that his lover knew more about himself then he did. With a gentle hug he nodded, more time. Yes there was nothing like more time when in the arms of your beloved. "Very well then my καρδιά it shall be so."
Pausing he looked down as Rome spoke again softly against his chest. A smile tugged the corner of his lip upwards. Yes, free. Thanos wanted him free. Nothing should be restrained in such a manner. Though as that thought entered his mind he found himself at a loss. Is that not what the vampires had done to the humans. Enslaved them. Blasphmy to think such, surely being as well humans were needed for vampire's to survive.. but they'd naught but made slaves of them. He shivered with a slight tremor, such things should not be thought of; and he pushed the very idea far into the recesses of his mind.
"Since we are dressed to impress the little tyke and get your freedom; it's time we were off. Sorry Rome. My thoughts took a wayward turn." He said explaining his period of silence. Perhaps one day he'd share that line of though but for now it was best forgotten. No good would come in thinking that the humans should be freed of their service to his kin. "I wish that you take us to the Casino Valhalla," he added with a soft kiss upon Romes soft lips.

Rome stared at Thanos curiously as he watched his mind wander. Rome probably could have tried to sense what he was thinking but he didn't. Thanos was a sacred temple to Rome and such an invasion would be blasphemy. He decided if it was something he wanted to share with Rome, he would, in time.
He did wish he would hurry out of his revelry so they could go because time was of the essence. Finally, Thanos was ready. The wish was made with a soft brush of lips. The wish was granted with Rome grabbing Thanos and kissing him passionately as he teleported them to the casino. They appeared in a dark corner with Thanos against the wall getting thoroughly snogged by the Djinn.
Rome suddenly released him, feeling somewhat better but still weak. He grinned mischievously at Thanos then turned his eyes onto the crowd. "The child is here, I can feel him." he whispered.
He watched the crowd closely, looking for any sign of the tiny vampire. Then he turned his eyes to a commotion by one of the giant stone pillars.
"Get away!" the little vampire shouted and shoved another child, what appeared to be a human child. "I don't want to play anymore!"
Rome realized it was the child he had conjured up for the boy. He must have been following him around all day.
"But I'm your friend! I'm your best friend forever and ever!" the child shouted and tried to hug Jakob.
"Security!" the little vampire shouted and two security guards appeared on either side of the offending, not so human child."Get this freak away from me."
Rome grinned then snickered, "I think he does not like his friend." he chuckled and covered his mouth to hide his amusement. "OK, it looks like I twisted his wish, but I only gave him what he wanted.
He outwardly laughed as the security guards began to drag the other child away and it turned to sand, showering to the floor in a rain of sandy dust. He clapped a hand over his mouth to keep from drawing attention as everyone looked at the sand in disbelief. "Fucking mutants." one of the security guards muttered and Rome had to bury his face in Thanos neck to stifle his laughter.

Thanos feasted at Romes lips as they ravished his own. He absolutely loved his lovers style and taste. His eyes were nearly crossed as Rome suddenly released him. Glancing about the darkened area they were in he tried not to chuckle aloud at Romes impish grin. It was rather infectious. He looked about and almost asked if Rome was sure the little one was truly here. The sudden commotion of youthful voices stopped him.
The attention of several casino patrons was drawn to a pair of boys having a scuffle. Thanos, glanced at Rome but he seemed to be watching the two intently. As one of the youngsters tried to hug the other security was called for. At that Thanos did start to chuckle over till name calling got involved. Rome's snicker raised his eyebrow. The child asked for a freak? That made little sense at all to Thanos. As Security stepped in and the youngster turned to sand he shook his head. That would keep them puzzled for hours.
One of the security guards bitched about mutants and he found himself grinning as Rome laughed against his neck. If they only knew the truth of the matter. A broom and dust pan was called for and they quickly had the sand pile cleaned up and were taking it the lab. Would they be able to figure out it was a form of Magic. He glanced at Rome. "Will they be able to figure out where that sand came from?" he asked. Thanos did not want Rome to be discovered for what he had done.
The little vampire child stood alone now in the midst of everyone and looked rather put out that he had to deal with such a ordeal. "How will you get him to wish now?" He whispered next to Romes ear before blowing in it gently.

Once his giggling fit was abated, the mischievous djinn turned his attention back to Thanos. "It is just sand. It will only appear as sand from this desert you live in." he explained to Thanos to quiet any fears that he may have about Rome being found out. "The leftover traces of a djinn's power are gone within seconds. We are untraceable by your sciences terms. It will be fine, and funny. I would love to see their faces when they say, "It's just sand..." he giggled softly.
Rome's attention was on the child then. "You are a vampire, he is a child, even if he is a vampire as well. Go talk to him, ask him if he is alright." he smiled softly at his thoughts. "Children like it when someone is on their side, especially if it is someone they feel they can trust." he reached out a hand as he let out a little cough. He looked at his hand and a small pocket knife appeared in it. "Here, offer him a prize for being such a brave boy then ask him if there is anything in the world he would wish for." he turned his gaze to Thanos once more. "I promise, I will not twist the wish so much as to cause him any harm. This wish should not be twisted at all or it may discourage him from wishing in the future."
Rome coughed again and looked for a place to sit. "I must rest, my love." said as he moved to a nearby chair where he could watch and hear. He sat down heavily with a deep sigh. "He will wish, children love wishes." he smiled in anticipation of his freedom.

Feeling much better after Rome reassurances that it was just simply sand, none of his magic would be detected; he relaxed. Yes he could imagine the shock and upset that it would cause down in the labs. He had never seen them but knew of their general location. Frankly though, he had no business at all being in a lab.
"Yes, true." He agreed and could not help but chuckle a little. Rome's mischief was infectious. The cough though made him uneasy. He watched as a pocket knife appeared and it was held out to him for the child. It was a small thing, surly not something that could do any serious harm. Again he nodded. "Very well. I will gain a wish for you from the child." He said as he plucked the little treasure from Rome's hand. It felt real enough within his palm as he held it. Amazing this power his lover had.
Once Rome was seated, Thanos cupped his chin and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "I will not be long." He promised and let go of his chin. Thanos did not really want to leave his lovers side. It went against his need to be with him to walk away even to gain this wish from the vampire child.
Standing straighter, Thanos smoothed a hand over his lapels and fussed slightly with his cuffs. Not because they were not perfect or they did not fit. Just because he could and truthfully he was nervous about letting Rome down. What if the child did not like him. He had not interacted with small persons in forever. They were fragile things that often were sickly or messy. They made him uneasy is what they did. Though as he drew near the boy did not appear to be fit any of his present perceptions of what he thought a child would be like.
"Hello, young man. I do hope your alright. I noticed your little scuffle and just wanted to make sure you were not harmed. You were quiet brave in fending off the mutant. Forgive me. I'm lacking in my manners. I'm Thanos, it's a pleasure to meet you young man." He added in greeting. Perhaps if he got to know the boy a little better he could gain the wish needed for Rome. It wouldn't do to scare the boy away either.

Jakob was very well put out by the child who started out being a fun guy to play with but quickly turned into a clingy, uncomfortably close companion. At one point he though the boy would hump his leg or something. Jakob decided he wouldn't like to be God. Having that kid worship him for a few hours was more than he could bear.
He straightened his suit and brushed the sand from his feet so that Thor would not see that he had gotten his dinner clothing scuffed. As he brushed the last of the sand off his italian loafers, which Thor taught him were the classiest to wear, he heard a voice. Startled, he looked up and was relieved to see it was one of the higher class Vampires. It wasn't that he liked them better, but they were safer because they always wanted to kiss Thor's ass and therefor would schmooze Jakob with gifts and compliments. He also knew he could look to these for safety because they knew they would score points for keeping him safe.
He did the dramatic sigh and bushed harder at his lapels, even though nothing was there just to make a dramatic show. "Yes, thankfully security is good around here." he complained. "It's nice to meet you, Thanos. I am sure you know who I am since I am the only child vampire. You make call me Jakob." he drawled his last name the way Thor would say it, since it was Swedish, making it sound like "Yakob". "When my father..." meaning Thor not Gunnar since his real father abandoned him and Thor adopted him, "hears about this, he will be quite well put out and might even assigne me a body guard...Then you will see me upset." he whined. "Sometimes, I wish..." he started then sighed, "Oh, nothing..."

The little chap it seemed was a little more then slightly put out about the whole affair. He refrained from chuckling as the child assessed him. Just who did the boy think he was? He wondered. Thanos had not attended many functions and had socialized little since his arrival. Giving the boy his utmost attention, he did finally smile faintly at the complaint of security. Glancing about for himself he found any number of vampires that were watching albeit discreetly; this little tète-à-tète.
"A pleasure to meet you Jakob," he intoned trying to modulate the name as the little one pronounced it, "Perhaps a guard would keep such things as overly attentive mutants from bothering you to have one." He added with a tiny nod. It would, but at what loss of freedom he was not certain. Jakob's whine led him to believe he would be most put out by such a prospect. No child wanted to be reigned in surely he assumed.
"We all wish, it is how we verbalize our dreams. You should never be afraid to wish; for anything Jakob." He added most sincerely. Not because it would free his lover but because the absence of hope and dreams in ones youth made for a very dull grown up. At least Thanos believed that completely. His early teachers had always spoke of making ones own wishes reality. He fingered the small pocket knife and then held it out to the youngling. "Perhaps you could use this to help protect yourself from the unwanted attentions of others." He added politely.

Jakob watched as the man took out the knife and held it out to him. He always wanted a pocket knife but Gunnar wouldn't let him have one. He had not thought to ask Thor for one although he imagined he would not let him have one either. He looked around quickly to make sure no one was looking and took the knife and looked at it before slipping it into his pocket, "Thank you Mr. Thanos." he smiled at his new friend. Thanos was big and strong and very dapper looking. "I bet no one ever messes with you. If I were a grown man, no one would ever mess with me either. So you know when I started that wish? I'll finish it, but its something different." he beamed mischeivously. "I wish I could be a grown up man any time I wanted to!" he blurted out. Suddenly he heard a snickering fool to his right and looked over just in time to see a very nice looking man in gold, with shimmering tattoos fall off his chair. "I think that guy is...drunk..." Jakob suddenly felt funny. The room seemed to be getting smaller. Thanos seemed to be getting shorter. His clothes were getting tighter. Suddenly they began to rip and fall off his body. Jakob looked at the mirrored wall to his left and his mouth fell open, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Oh my god." he muttered and touched his stubbled face. Then he realized something quite embarassing and looked down to see hair on his chest and down below where there should never have been hair, ever. He looked back at Thanos in a moment of shock and looked him eye to eye. He was as tall as the vampire, and he was...naked. Jakob suddenly clapped his hands over his genitals and screamed. Then he screamed again and took off running through the casino, "FATHER!!!!"

Rome listened intently to the conversation going on with the young vampire boy. He thought Thanos was doing very well with the child and wondered if he had any experience with children. He seemed to play the child like a fiddle.
He smiled when the boy took the knife and smiled at Thanos like he was his best friend in the world. Children were always easy that way. With boys, it was knife, guns and swords, with girls it was dolls, tea sets and jewelry that made them fall prey to his mischief. This boy fell right into his trap. Rome had to give Thanos credit as well, he looked very good, very handsome and very friendly. Rome was not surprised when the child blurted out a wish. However, the wish tickled him so much that he hardly had time to whisper "Done." and wave a finger at the boy before he burst out laughing so hard, he fell off his chair.
Rome looked up to watch what unfolded next as the boy suddenly grew into a man, his clothing ripping from his body as he became too big for them. The look on the boys face was classic and as he took off running through the casino with his hands held low, Rome could not help but to fall into a fit of hysterical laughter.

He chuckled softly, "No it's not often I'm bothered, though my books give me little fight." he replied honestly to Jakob. It was true, he led a rather nondescript life of scholarly pursuits. The boys cavalier attitude towards being bigger tickled his humor.
He turned following Jakobs glance at Rome whom had fallen off his chair in a 'fit of laughter' it seemed. He bit down on his lip to keep his own face stoic as he replied. "Perhaps just a little drunk."
Thanos could not keep his own jaw from dropping in dismay and utter shock as the young man before him was nearly instantly fully grown. The ripping of his clothing and his consequential scream of fear had him blinking in astonishment. He felt a pang of remorse for having prompted young Jakob into his wish.
Seeing the boy look at him now at eye level gave him a moment of pause. Children should be able to grow at their own pace not sprout up like a weed. Before he could offer any word of calming though the suddenly fully grown boy ran off yelling for his father.
He looked back to where Rome sat chuckling mirthfully on the floor and looking to be in better health that only moments before. Well at least one of them felt better. He glanced back to where the boy left a path of tittering patrons and shook his head before moving back towards Rome.
"Will he stay that way permanently or just for a little while?" he inquired softly upon reaching his lover. He extended his hand toward Rome in an offer to help him up from the ground. The little lad was making him feel odd, in a way he was unaccustomed to. It was not often that Thanos felt any guilt or remorse for something he'd done and in a matter of moments he felt both acutely. The look of utter shock and dismay.
"I do believe he will be very wary of making another wish anytime soon.. I know I would should I have ever shot straight up from child to grown man such as he did. Did his wishing help you?" he couldn't help but ask, the worry evident as he looked Rome over for any sign of fatigue or further illness such as he had shown just a short time before he had sent him over to deal with the lad.

Rome stopped giggling and looked at Thanos. The guilt and regret was apparent on his face. To Rome, this meant one thing. Thanos didn’t mean forever when he said forever. Rome’s antics might just very well be too much for Thanos, and since he looked so guilty for Romes actions when he was actually behaving himself. He wondered how fast Thanos would ditch him if he were acting 100% in his nature. It was not like he could help it, he was a djinn. He felt muchly betrayed but his face would never show such a thing. He merely grinned and shrugged.
“I gave him exactly what he wished for. He will become a man any time he wants to be one.” He explained, which was something he never did, “But it is temporary, like all the best things are.” He added. It had a double meaning. Thanos was one of the best things and Rome knew now, if he continued to act in his nature, he would be a temporary thing in his world. While it saddened him, he was used to being lonely. People used him long enough to get what they wanted then threw him aside, unwanted until the next person came along. Lather, rinse, repeat. Such was the life of a djinn.
“I feel much better now.” He announced. His color was better and he had stopped coughing. He shed the gold coat and tunic in favor of a bare torso, feeling much more like himself. “Does it please you?” he asked, thinking that no matter the answer, it meant nothing. His nature displeased Thanos. He didn’t care, he would enjoy him while he could and when Thanos left him, he would be a free djinn, so what the hell, he would turn Thanos into a human and go on his merry way.

Looking at Rome Thanos felt as if something had shifted. He'd done something foolish again. Quietly he nodded and accepted Rome's explanation of the boys wish. Never had he been around small children except when he had been human so very long ago. Truthfully he had not given small being even a passing thought.
"It is good your better, I was worried I would lose you." he said somewhat at a loss for just what to say. Had they reached that awkward moment in a relationship when words got in the way. Inwardly he frowned at his own stupid reaction. Rome never would have harmed the boy truly. He knew that, had been reassured of that. Though the feeling of guilt squeezed his heart some. He had no inkling as to why he would feel it. Thanos swallowed and shifted on his feet. Egads he was actually nervous, the realization hit him like a punch. He was nervous that he could not help Rome gain his last wish and that he would sicken again.
"I don't... I'm sorry." He muttered feeling the blooming heat of a blush crest over his cheeks. What a vampire he made. It was little wonder why he hid behind his books and studies and came out only to listen to the music players. He was a true dunce when it came to interactions with others. He was not as suave or comfortable in places such as this. Though he loved the clothing, vain perhaps but everyone has a weakness it was just nature. "What would you like to do now?" He asked hoping to distract himself from the pity train his thoughts were taking.
