What a ridiculous day this has been. Even for Lynn.
She brought Uncle Remington upstairs to help wash his face. The pepper spray was still lingering and after the nightmare fiasco Jane pulled, he was tired and drained. At first, he was still asking about what happened with all the windows and glass inside the house (and the neighborhood, for that

Worse yet, even though he doesn't recognize many objects here, beds haven't changed too much. It's pretty obvious he's just inadvertently invaded someone's home.
Someone who is apparently already unhappy. And, if her attire is anything to go by, this is either in the Tower or the future. Judging by the lack of angels nearby, probably the latter. Lucifel will probably find him soon enough, but not in time to stop this encounter.

Anyway, that area sounds like it closed, which is followed by the sound of something else being opened.
"Oh, God dammit!"
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE GLASSWARE.
YAY.

He follows the sound of her voice and just...stares. How much glass does one household own? And how did it all break at once, when nothing else seems harmed?

She stands next to the cupboard with a look on her face that's a mix between looking defeated and like she wants to cry.

"Ah!" Lynn jumps back at the touch and looks at him like a startled kitten. That startled the utter shit out of her, Jesus. "...Oh, uh." Her objection dies in her throat because that probably wasn't meant to hurt her, so she just shakes her head in embarrassment before reaching into the cupboard for plastic glasses.

And then his attention is drawn to the whole, certainly not-glass glass.

"Plastic." Dinosaurs and plant matter died millions of years ago to make the production of this little cup possible. Super fucked up if one thinks about it too hard. Made from the dead. Hmmn.
Anyway, she turns on the faucet to get the both of them some water. Hooray.

He's looking at the water flowing from the faucet not only in wonder, but a bit knowingly as well, if Lynn is good at reading faces. Azazel is right about one thing - humans do have incredible potential.
All the more reason to watch them find it on their own.

She turns the faucet off. Then on.
Then off.
On, off.
Like she clearly noticed it caught Enoch's attention.

Now that that's settled, she hands him his water. He's being a really good sport about all this.

"Thank you." Again, something she'll have to figure from context.
He examines the glass's properties for a moment before he drinks. Plastic, huh?

"Mmn." Lynn just nods at him while she drinks too. What an odd day. For a little bit, she just stands there with her eyes closed, like she fell asleep standing up, when suddenly a loud ringing sound rings through the house, startling her.
"...Crap." It actually sounds a lot like the thing Lucifel has, but louder. Lynn rolls her eyes and goes to where it's coming from. "Hello?" Pause. "Ah, hi Miss Theron."
Suddenly Lynn sounds less annoyed and more like the perfect picture of female sweetness. A transformation for the ages.

...and this is just too strange. He'll need more than a second to get over this.
Good thing he hasn't dropped his water. Even though it looked like there was plenty wherever the pipes were taking it from, Enoch still would feel terrible for wasting water.
