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.

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

From:

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

From:

doctormagnus

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

From:

w_zimmerman

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

From:

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.

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

From:

doctormagnus

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

From:

w_zimmerman

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

From:

doctormagnus

"Remember when I watched Deadpool with you?"

From:

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

From:

doctormagnus

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

From:

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

From:

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."

From:

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

"I'm going to shower now."

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

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

From:

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.

From:

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

She smiles warmly at that and climbs onto the bed with a couple of takeout containers and two pairs of chopsticks. She doesn't have the heart to wake him, but thinks the enticing aroma may be enough to do that on its own.

She turns the TV on quietly to a nature documentary and eats her noodles.

Will wakes up slowly, mumbling in confusion to find himself not alone in bed. "Wh... oh. Hi," he greets her with a drowsy smile, slowly sitting up. "Good shower?"
