I meant them.

( But, fair enough. )

And they weren't counting on me being here. Well, then that sounds like my cue. I'm used to making an impression with my arrival, but, ( he kicks one of the dead witches. ) way to steal my thunder. Any way I could get a do over? Maybe after close?

[deathlessness]

I think that could be arranged.

[She glances down at her watch, then back at the bodies.]

I'm not sure they need me for this. We should probably stick together, just in case there are more out there.

[She's providing an opening to his opening. She liked their energy. But she would also understand if he was just looking for an out.]

[unforgivably]

Strength in formidable numbers.

( And aren't they both? He's still electric, jumping out of his skin. He needs to push through all this anxious energy. But, how to? )

I'm staying right around the corner.

[deathlessness]

Lovely.

[She reaches for her jacket, before glancing over the bar to her bartender.]

You'll be alright until Marcel gets here?

["Yeah, he's not far. You're sure they're all dead, right?"

Freya nudges one with her foot on her way out and nods.]

Yeah, none of them are getting up again.

[unforgivably]

And if they do, Marcel can add more to his - what's the rumor. Unstoppable vampire army?

( What, he knows things. )

Or, you can put them out of their misery. ( He puts a stake ontop of the bar. It rolls toward Eva. ) Happy stabbing. Shall we?

[deathlessness]

[Eva reaches up to catch the stake, but beyond that, she stays behind the bar. Freya delicately steps over one of the bodies to take Damon's arm and off they go.

And if she happens to go inside for a night cap when they get to Damon's hotel, then all the better for them both. Adrenaline is a heady thing.]

[unforgivably]

( Yep, and nightcaps are a good thing. )
