Hurt/Comfort, Tequila and a Little Conversation
Nightmares. She had them a lot, which wasn't surprising given her history, but last night was bad. Last night she dreamed about Owen, specifically the last time she saw him alive, but instead of him dying fairly quickly, Balthasar cut him piece by bloody piece just as he had intended, right in front of her, as she screamed, cried, and begged him to stop. Needless to say, when she woke up covered in sweat, tears rolling down her cheeks, it was not a good start to her morning.
Running to the bathroom a moment later to throw up didn't make it any better. A shower made it a little better, but then she changed into comfortable jeans and an off-the-shoulder sweater and tried to think of something to occupy her. Normally she'd look for someone to distract her, but she's not in the mood right now. Right now, she wants a drink. The hotel is kind enough to provide her with a mini-bar, and she cracks open a bottle of tequila and starts drinking, no glasses necessary. Even her body's not used to that kind of treatment, so she coughs and sputters, but she keeps going, alternating with water and taking comfort in the fact that she should be good and drunk soon.
[Anyone is welcome for CR, guys are welcome for smut, but there's a catch. You're going to have to talk her into it, and I do mean talk. She actually doesn't feel like hopping into bed with someone at the moment, so, if you want to sleep with her, you're going to have to warm her up to you first. As for entry, the door may not be closed, you could accidentally stumble into her room, whatever. :)]
