The bar is its usual bright and bustly self.

That might not be the best thing ever, considering who just entered it.

Adiva flinches, growling, as the door closes behind them.

[nneverwas]

"Shh," says Aaron soothingly. "I got-- I got you."

[mad_patron]

"Sensory overload," Pyth murmurs. "We should go outside, or-- if you've got a room, that'd be better."

Her eyes are still closed.

(Side benefit of her current condition: The potential jokes about Aaron's room go by too quickly for her to pick one and say it.)

[nneverwas]

"Yeah." He smiles slightly. "Yeah, I got a-- I got a room. C'mon."

[mad_patron]

Although that last was directed mainly to Adiva, Pyth obeys.

She has to open her eyes to do so.

It isn't fun.

[nneverwas]

Aaron notices.

He doesn't wince, but he thinks about it.

[funsizehercules]

"Nnnrrrr."

They move quickly upstairs. Adiva and Pyth are anxious to get out of the crowds.

Adiva is starting to show something like exhaustion in her posture.

[mad_patron]

Pyth isn't exhausted; she's wired.

...And exhausted.

It's a combination she's always hated, and she doesn't like it anymore when it comes with a side of self-doubt.

"I think you're gonna end up with the both of us wiped out on your floor," she tells Aaron with an attempt at a wry tone. It fails, and not just because her vocal equipment is currently set irrevocably to 'growl'.

[nneverwas]

"Don't-- don't be silly," he shoots back with a quick smile. "The bed'll fit three; you two won't, won't strain it."

[mad_patron]

"Three?" She blinks. "So wait, you and-- sorry, and-- you, and you...?"

Even at its current speed, her brain is going to take a while to work through that one.

[funsizehercules]

"Grrrrnn."

Hulked-out Adiva apparently doesn't like Pyth speculating about her boyfriend's sleeping arrangements.

If she weren't Hulked-out, she'd recognize the flaw in this logic.

[mad_patron]

"No, I am not after him," she says, facepalming. "Why does everyone think that? Do I wear a fucking sign that reads 'Lonely single skank, will steal boyfriends for kicks'? I mean, it's not like any of the three apply!"

[nneverwas]

Face utterly straight, Aaron unlocks and opens the door to his room.

[mad_patron]

"--and I'm ranting again," she says, sighing. "H--no, forget it, I'll just shut up and try to stay that way for a change."

[funsizehercules]

Adiva balks at the door to the room.

[mad_patron]

Pyth is behind her.

She raises her eyebrows, but doesn't interfere.
