( The bartender just watches them as they leave, moving back out the front door. William stays close, shoulder against Cooper's as he walks. If they both need this, then they should do this. )
[And they do do this. In fact, they have a grand old time where they justifiably are ignoring their phones.
After she finishes with Oliver, Mia does text her brother first. Something along the lines of:
You better call Dad. He has a lot of questions.
However, when William doesn't have a snarky retort for at least an hour, she starts to get concerned. She finds out his room number from Gloria and makes her way over to pound on the door.]
Knocking is one thing, but pounding is different. They're done with their grand old time, but it's been such a long night, there was some cuddling but more sleeping. )
Mia?
( He moves out from under Cooper. William answers the door bleary-eyed, towel barely around him with the worst angle behind him, because, well, that's his bed and that's probably a half-awake Cooper under those covers. )
I'm sure you you gave him a lot of questions about( He tries to step around the door, and close it at the same time, but his towel is not tied tightly and he swoops down to catch it. ) what I'm up to. Mia.
[Yeah, while he's juggling the towel situation she's going to use that newfound Slayer grace to just duck under his arm and make her way inside. Thankfully Cooper's managing the cover situation just fine so there's nothing too indecent happening.]
Well.
[She crosses her arms in front of her chest as she stares Cooper down.]
( Siblings, half, adopted, or otherwise, don't need to see each other naked, which is why she gives him the slip as the door shuts behind them both. Collecting himself, and tucking the towel back in, he turns, sighing.
He doesn't like what she's implying, like he has a reputation for turning around after being cheated on and playing the field. He does. He's his father's son that way. But, he's a world away and he can have this for himself, can't he? )
I don't want to know who you were expecting. ( Or, what. Or, if it was this. ) Cooper, you remember Mia.
[She was referring to more he was probably on the bad guy's team, but then again, their genetics probably left him predisposed to hooking up with people who are not good for them.
See: their father and huntress. Also Laurel, even if Laurel is better than she was when she first came to Earth-1.]
I just wanted to make sure you weren't dead. You know, given the whole "I just pulled you out of a collapsed building" thing.
( He does hold a hand up and it might come off a bit more forceful than he intends it, but this is his room and his business. He brings his arm down. )
I mean, I'd like you to stay, and, thank you, for telling me you talked to dad. How about we have lunch later. Put everything out on the table. ( Wait. )Not him.
[And with that, they pick up their evening right where it left off. Coop will probably do his best to sneak out quietly in the morning, but he will leave his number on the hotel room pad, just in case William decides he needs it.]

( He'll cup his face and go in for a second kiss, bringing himself up from the stool all together. )
no subject
Want to get out of here?
no subject
( He pauses. )
If that's not too presumptuous.
no subject
Works for me.

What?
no subject
Dad wants you to call him. I'm sure he has a lot of questions about what you're up to.
[And she pushes up on her toes, trying to see over his shoulder to see what he's hiding. Coop definitely is waking up but he's not hugely moving yet.]
Did you pick someone up?
no subject
no subject
Well.
[She crosses her arms in front of her chest as she stares Cooper down.]
Definitely not who I was expecting.
[Haven't you missed your little sister, William?]

Hi.

And then there was an, "I needed a drink" thing.
no subject
[And she is here to deliver.
Coop glances between the two of them, still drunk and a little amused. "Maybe I should go."]

no subject
Sure. Sounds good.
[And she'll just take this new information and head back to her room.]
I'd answer the phone when Dad calls. He might not take being sent to voicemail well.
no subject
( And just give him a whole - you know, second as the door closes. He sighs, eyes just staying closed.
He moves over to sit by Cooper's side of the bed, still in a towel. )
Sorry about that.
no subject
[It was the kind of thing that made him miss his, even as amused as he was.]
Are you sure you don't want me to go? Seems like you have family shit to deal with.
no subject
( So excuse him if he lays atop Cooper, kisses him, and then rolls back over, beside him, tossing the towel away. )
Besides. We didn't actually talk did we, we just - enjoyed ourselves.
no subject
Fair enough.
