Jasper blinked awake, shifting on the bed and wondering when St Mungo's had changed its decor. Not that he was adverse to red and sexy; he just didn't think it was too appropriate for a place of healing. Come to think of it, he didn't remember all the kinky paintings either. Pushing himself up onto his elbows, he glanced round properly, inhaling

He paused at the sight of his room door open. "What?" He pushed the door open and peered at the man who seemed to be reclining on his bed. "'Scuse me, but do you mind explaining why you're in my room?"

He stretched slightly, noticing the dark bruises across his ribs for the first time. 'I was in my room there. are you sure you're not lost?'

"I'm not lost," he assured him. "This is what they call the love hotel. Its entire intent is to get you laid. You can't leave. I should know. I've been here for too long." He pinched the bridge of his nose. Damn aphrodisiacs. This had been somewhat uncomfortable enough with all the touching and all the people...and why were people so intent on touching?
"Aren't we all blessed with such good fortune," he said, voice flat. This place was a nuisance.

'So, do you want to rethink my no leaving?'

He let out a derisive snort as the man tried to use his height as a threat. "By all means, if you'd like to go, go. It's not hurting my feelings." Really. The less touching, the better.

Sunlight streamed into the room and Jazz stepped towards the glass looking down into the grounds below. 'Tell me exactly what you have done to try and leave.'

He nearly rolled his eyes. "There's no point in trying to apparate. You can get outside into the grass...but there's nothing you can do to apparate from there. The hotel gives you everything you need for free." He frowned at the slight foggy feeling in his brain. This was not the time for this. "You get food, drink, fun activities. But be warned everything has aphrodisiacs in it."

'They can get me anything I need?' Jazz looked at the man on the bed, he was quite appealing, but now wasn't the time. 'I need Wolfsbane. Think they can do that?'

"I would assume so," Zacharias said quietly. Werewolf, then. "Do you need me to show you to it?" He was being somewhat amiable now. What had come over him?

'If you could. That would be great.' He offered the blond a smile. 'I'm Jasper.'

At his introduction Zacharias stood, holding out a hand. One shouldn't be rude when making introductions even if they did mean minute touching. "Zacharias. Pleased, I'm sure." Though he really wasn't. Not even if the hotel was trying to tell him that he was. Stupid hotel. He cleared his throat. "I can show you. Now or later?"

‘I suppose the fact I’m not wearing anything but scrubs trousers doesn’t really matter here?’ Judging by the aphrodisiacs that polluted everything he doubted even walking around naked would matter in this particular hotel.

He glanced down at the trousers and back up. "I...no. Not so much. I was lucky enough to come to in actual clothing, but the hotel provides that as well. Clothes, I mean." Zacharias, could you please stop talking like a stuttering idiot? That would be great.
"Just be careful. The hotel likes to..err...let you wake up in...precarious situations. You could end up tied to a bed and the only way to get free is if someone just so happens to come by and...well..." He gestured vaguely. "I think you can figure it out."

Of course the aphrodisiacs would probably change his mind sooner rather than later. 'Not until the full moon. Which is in... thirteen days.'
Jazz nodded at the warning. 'Duly noted.'

"Thirteen days? I think we can figure it out by then," he said quietly, turning his gaze back on him. He could do this. He could act normal. Yes, he could. "Is there anything I can assist you with until then? Clothes? Food?"

Inhaling deeply, he tilted his head and looked at the other wizard. ‘I can think of something… but you don’t seem to like to touch. So I’ll have to find someone else won’t I?’
