Amelia sucks in air, chest heaving, quickly taking in her surroundings. She should've gone home to sleep.
She brushes damp strands of hair from her face and casts eyes to Vera in the doorway. "It happens. Sorry if I woke you." She really couldn't give a fig, but it would be rude to say otherwise.
Her facial expression is incredulous for a moment, but she relaxes. No use arguing, even if the adrenaline is still making her heartbeat thud in the back of her skull. Amelia has no reason to be aggressive here.
"A drink sounds fabulous. Thank you." She shakes the clouds from her head and moves to dress in the darkness. Rum... rum would be nice.
"No, but a good feat. Kind of. Not the smartest, but gutsy."
She chuckles and rolls her eyes. "I tell my brother all the time, people in this business take the strangest hobbies. It's never collecting stamps, nyet, it's curing AIDS, hunting down demons, or pissing off people that stomp bigger holes by accident. Take up gambling or Star Trek or crocheting."
Amelia's obviously got a talent for this. Bet the left shoe tastes better.
"No, I guess not," she says. "Well they say TV rots your brain, but movies have actually gotten better these days. Even the really awful flicks make for a good laugh if you've had a few. I mean, what's the point of life if you're not enjoying yourself at least a little? You lose scope of why you're doing anything at all..."
"I never really expected that I'd have an ordinary life," Vera chuckles. "Don't get me wrong... I'm not exactly a social hermit. I read a lot... and I catch the occasional movie."

Vera Black leans against the doorframe.
"Bad dreams?" she asks casually.

"Never been one for crocheting. Not since I was a little girl."

She coughs. "Not that I'd know or anything."
