All Work & No Play

[amongthethorns]

[Honestly, they're all exhausted - not tired but just worn out physically - after getting called all the way over here to help deal with a sudden rapid spike of missing souls which had been caused, unsurprisingly by an influx of demons. It was an odd thing and they still needed to pinpoint the origin of this matter, after all. Neither they nor the Paris Reapers could figure out what can caused an entire legion of Hells most foul to ascend on the city of lights.

Thankfully, with the five of them working pulled through just fine even if Alan was just a junior and Ronald was a rookie still. 

At least the hotel was nice even if they had to bunk up; two beds to each room. At least they had adjoining rooms so if they wanted they could throw the door between the two rooms open and interact.

Alan closed the field kit he'd been using to tend even their most minor of injuries; huffing out a tired but relieved breath. His chest ached just slightly and his shoulders slumped a little bit.] 

Well, that was certainly interesting if I don't say so myself. I know we've still got a few more days here in the city just to make sure things are well in hand an find answers, but what do we do for now? I mean - what do you even do in Paris?   

[He turned toward his bed where a rather large suitcase was tucking the field kit away. He'd brought a few things with him. They'd put all their belongings into this singular suitcase - fresh suits, documentations they needed when they went to Paris's dispatch branch for briefings and reports, a few other odds and ends.]

[ William looks up from where he'd been removing his watch to give the two a bit of a glare. Of course Alan would volunteer to go. And of course Eric would tag along. That means that with Ron still out, he'd be left here with Grell. Wonderful. ]

Gin.

[ At this point, all of dispatch should know what William's drink of choice is, but he states it firmly enough anyway. ]

[ Realization clicks, and of course, Grell’s eyes brighten! Bottle clutched to her chest, she sways on her feet. ]

Well! I’m all set, then! I have everything I need, right here. [ So she says, winking William’s way! ]

[amongthethorns]

Right.

[ He may feel just the tiniest bit guilty at leaving William by himself with Grell but that's likely a good idea since Alan doesn't drink that often. While it's true he could figure out what they wanted if he took his time looking at every bottle on the shelves 'til he found a familiar one it would be best to have Eric there. ]

Well, that's good. You can help me pick my own wine.

[ No offense to Grell but he doesn't like red. Maybe he'll go with Riesling most likely. That and he truly has no idea what Eric favors. True he's gone out with him and to collect him from bars and pubs but the drink is rarely the same.]

[Eric smiles and pats Alan's shoulder]

We can do better than wine.
