You dream of running through dark, demon-infested tunnels, the smell of sulphur and brimstone filling you nose! There is movement near you! Someone is leaning over you in the dark and things are moving beneath you! There is a strange, wet, coughing sound! ...

You awake in a cold sweat. Your dream made real, right here in your flat.

What do you do?

Persephone rolls her eyes a bit at Henry's boorishness; even drunk, she notices his clumsy appeals to her heritage and beauty, but she lets it slide. And she simply shrugs at the question of who shall pay, caring little. She insists, however, that her company car service ferry them the few blocks to her condo, so that she not get wet--she doesn't want to arrive at a party looking like a wet dog, even if it is just her little sis' get together!

When they ride up the elevator, she takes Henry's arm in hers and rests her head on his shoulder, taking comfort in his nearness and presence. When the doors open and the music can be heard, though, she runs forward, laughing, pulling him along behind her by the hand.

When she opens the door, she immediately slips off her shoes and continues to pull him along and begins dancing with him -- or, as it might perhaps be better described, at him. She dances her way into the condo and makes a bee-line for the glasses and bottles lined up on the counter, pouring herself and Henry a drink. She waves to Circe and Edward, having forgotten entirely about the tension she caused with Edward earlier that night.

She pulls Henry toward her as they dance, still not intending romance, but finding herself in his arms nonetheless.

For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she was awake or not. It was so dark, just like in those tunnels...

But then she heard the rain tapping against the windows, the smell of damp fabric and sweat, rather than brimstone. She blinked, slowly pulling herself up, but it took a moment longer for her heart to stop pounding fast

"David?" she whispered, and twisted around to look for him "...are you alright?"
Instead of turning on the lights, she fumbled for her phone. The soft glow of her phone would be enough; she didn’t want to wake him if he was still trying to sleep

Somewhat embarrassed by his bad table manners, Benji wipes the blood from his face with the back of his hand and stands up, a bit unsteady on his feet. He doesn’t feel better at all. His chest still aches with every movement and the Hunger still has its claws in him, all the fiercer for having been tantalised by what little blood poor Leopold was able to provide.

He tries to focus on what Alasdair is saying. "Demons? Uhm… yes, alright. I’ll come along."
