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.

"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?"

[w_zimmerman]

"Is there a reason we're discussing this?"

[doctormagnus]

"Well, the last time a man told me he'd do something for me even if he wouldn't like it happened about a decade ago. And I'll leave it at that."

[w_zimmerman]

"I did not need to know that..."

[doctormagnus]

"I'm going to shower now."

She smirks and heads for the bathroom, peeling off her shirt once the door is halfway shut.

[w_zimmerman]

Swallowing hard, Will turns on the television and tries not to think about... anything.

[doctormagnus]

She cranks up the hot water and enjoys a nice, long shower. Once she's finished, she towels off and slides into a hotel-provided robe and pads out into the room, hoping their food has arrived.

[w_zimmerman]

The food is laid out on the table, untouched, and Will is snoozing in the bed.
