[Donna glances over to Neal and then shrugs. "Kinda?" Then she turns back to Doc and Rebekah. "Are you sure you don't want me to ...?"

Rebekah hesitates again, before glancing to her friends. She could have Donna compel them, make their lives easier rather than having to worry about the complications, but given how much she and Doc both have to dance around regularly, maybe it would be better to tell them.]

I'll get back to you on that?

[Donna nods. "Text me if you need me to come back." And with that, she'll set about gathering the hostages and making them disappear. Once Donna's gone, Rebekah sighs and moves towards the bar.]

I think this conversation is going to require drinks.

[cowman]

Copious amounts.

( He locks the door behind them, sighting as he rests his arms against one of the dining room chairs. )

We should take questions.

[likeaweapon]

["I'll be honest, I'm not even sure what we're supposed to be asking."

Rebekah passes them a drink, moves to sit across from them, and sighs.]

Well, as a start: John Henry and I used to be vampires.

[And with that things will spiral from there. The Originals, Purgatory, everything that helps provide some linear context, and tries to do it as gently as possible.

Sara blinks as she takes all that information in before turning to Doc. "So your name being John Henry Holliday isn't just an odd coincidence. You're ... actually Doc Holliday."]

[cowman]

I am the Doc Holliday, right hand man of Wyatt Earp, holder of the Earp curse.

( As, he too jumped in with his own mythology and just how he intertwined with Rebekah's his witches were, it's enough for Neal to follow if he had a grid - or a flow chart.

"And now that you're human, you're a witch. And your spell knocked that hunter out," Neal says, trying. )

[likeaweapon]

More or less.

[Rebekah sighs as she downs the rest of her drink.]

I know this is a lot of information, and your world just became a lot wider, but we shouldn't stay here. I don't think that's going to be the last set of hunters to knock on our door, and we need to pick up Henry and go somewhere safe.

[A beat.]

If you want to come with us, we could keep talking?

[reducedradius]

( Neal exchanges a look with Sara. )

I know people like them. If we're connected to you now, then we're in it, too. So, my vote is going, but only because I want you guys safe.

( If they needed to, he and Sara could manage. But, he gives his vote. )

[likeaweapon]

Lovely. Then we'll continue this Q and A session over very expensive alcohol in my brother's very expensive apartment.

[Rebekah sighs as she gets to her feet.]

This will be fun.

[It will not. But at least she's trying to stay positive.]

[cowman]

( Neal will just make sure Sara's okay and hand her her coat.

Doc gives one final look at their place, blows out the candles on their dining room table and follows them out. )
