She's still not entirely certain how ghoul-hunting in an allegedly haunted Vermont city got them crammed into the back of a cab in New York City with a driver who reeks of marijuana and cheetos and has horrible taste in music, but... here they are.

She finishes ordering food and hangs up, smirking at him. "One can never be too ready."

[w_zimmerman]

"And you always expect trouble, don't you?" he asks, cracking open the mini-bar. "Drink? It's been a hell of a day..."

[doctormagnus]

She chooses not to answer his first question.

"A drink would be nice, thank you."

She sits down on the bed and slides out of her boots, then looks around in confusion since there's only one bed and she specifically asked for two.

Will bites his lip and makes those drinks tall ones. "It's fine. I'll call downstairs and order a cot."

[doctormagnus]

"Those are highly uncomfortable. And we've shared a bed before."

[w_zimmerman]

"Usually because it's twenty-below outside..."

[doctormagnus]

"It's a King, Will. We'll be fine. I'll... keep my hands to myself."

[w_zimmerman]

"Right. Thanks..."

[doctormagnus]

She smiles and eyes the bathroom. "Do you mind if I shower first?"

[w_zimmerman]

"No, go ahead. You earned it. You were amazing today."

[doctormagnus]

"I was?" she laughs, sliding her coat off. "Yet here we are empty-handed, two states away from where we started."

[w_zimmerman]

"But we're not dead and that ghoul didn't rip me in half like it was trying to..."

[doctormagnus]

"It really did seem to hate you," she says with a chuckle."

[w_zimmerman]

"They always hate me, Magnus. That's why you always make me the bait..."

[doctormagnus]

"Speaking of bait, there's a siren in Wales that I'd like to try to lure soon. You're just her type."

[w_zimmerman]

"A siren? As in a man-eating cannibal?"

[doctormagnus]

"It'd be such an enjoyable way to go, underneath a beautiful woman who just... happens to be feeding on your sexual energy."

[w_zimmerman]

"Pretty sure that's a succubus, not a siren, Magnus..."

[doctormagnus]

"Right, well... I was hoping to entice you into being the bait," she says with a grin. She was really hoping he didn't know the difference.

[w_zimmerman]

"For you, I'll do it. Just don't expect me to like it..."

[doctormagnus]

"You're not the first man to say that to me."

[w_zimmerman]

"Somehow, that doesn't remotely surprise me..."

[doctormagnus]

"Remember when I watched Deadpool with you?"

[w_zimmerman]

"In my defense, Kate and Henry both suggested it..."

[doctormagnus]

"Remember what they did for National Women's Day?"
