Eric was wandering the hallways late at night as usual. He avoided his room at all costs now. He'd been sleeping underground every dawn since Lucifer's arrival. He had never had such a bad feeling about one individual in his entire, very long, life.

If only he would disappear the way Pavel had.

Wandering into the kitchen, he spotted Rose. She wasn't usually awake this late, so he wondered if something had happened. He approached the counter, leaning forward against it. "Rose," he said, without preamble. "You look tired."

She jumped, startled. It wasn't completely Eric's fault, though. Rose was so on-edge about Lucifer that she would've reacted the same way to John or Sam. Once she recognized him, the corner of her mouth angled up into an odd little smirk.

"'owdja guess?"

Eric's smirk mirrored her own. "Just a hunch," he said, inclining his head a bit to get a better look at her. Yes, she was definitely tired, but there was something else there.

"I take it the reason you are awake isn't because you can't sleep," he said. "I something wrong?" He paused. "Moreso than normal, anyway?"

Having a vampire inspect her was inconsequential when compared to the looks Lucifer had given. "Oh, I'm able t' sleep," Rose explained, "Jus' not allowin' it."

The girl wondered what she should share with Eric. Wasn't he Lucifer's roommate? She had no idea what their relationship was like. Really, she hadn't intended on telling anyone about the Devil in her head.

The coffee machine finished spilling its contents into the pot. Thank goodness. "Ya drink coffee?" Eric's preferences aside, Rose wasn't even sure vampires were anatomically able to consume anything but blood.
