All Work & No Play

[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.]

Don't ask absurd questions.

[ He ignores the drink Grell's dangling in front of him. Instead a hand is placed heavily on the table right beside her. William leans in, his face coming dangerously close to hers, until he pulls away with his bottle of gin in hand. ]

[ Grell stills, breath catching - and when he pulls away, it takes her a moment before it clicks what's transpired. With an exclamation of disdain, she follows by swinging her weight to sit forward! ]

Oh, that was a dirty trick, playing with a lady’s heart!

[ William turns from her, intent on rejoining the others. ]

You are the one who misread my intentions.

[ Nevermind that she’d done just about the same to him earlier— wait. She gasps! ]

Was that payback for not kissing you? You are sore about it!

[ Hopping down, she follows behind, hooking a finger into the hem of his shirt as she goes. ]

The gin was simply behind you. That is all.

[ Who's to know if he's simply in denial. He's not certain anymore, either! ]
