"no, I totally get it.. listen.. if you ever wanna go somewhere more.. private.. talk more in 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒉.." she trailed off momentarily, lightly placing her hand upon his. "i'd love to."

"Y'know.. my hotel isn't too far from here if ya' wanted to walk me back." Cassie mumbled, offering his hand a light squeeze. "Y'could stay and talk a bit. Only if ya' wanted, of course. Have a glass of whiskey or two, maybe.."

"Sounds good to me." The slasher slayer hummed with a smile, standing and placing a few bills upon the bar. Hands soon finding their way into the pockets of her hoodie. "Gladly." She mused, heading out of the bar. Leading them down the sidewalk in the direction of her hotel.

She shrugged, shivering slightly from the cold of the night. "Had a lead on something, but I've traced it as far as it'd go with no luck.. Now I'm just waiting on more intel from a friend.." A yawn escaped her. waiting around for more information was tiring. boring, even.

"I hope.. suppose I'll try and keep busy, maybe occupy a few bars until then." The area seemed much more laid back compared to the places she's last visited. Then again, she hadn't been here long. "Yeah? I'm not too concerned.. I can handle myself." she offered a wink.

"Glad ya' believe in me." Cassie mused with a grin of her own, fiddling with a lighter in her pocket. Finally, the hotel came into view, only half a block away. "I'd hate to become an annoyance, doll."

"Eh- I'm not exactly a ray of sunshine myself." She commented with a little half smirk, nudging his side playfully with the point of her elbow as they entered the hotel. Leading the way to the elevator. "I'm sure you're not as bad as you say.."

"Sounds like it could be a lotta fun." She pressed a button, the doors closing and taking them to her floor. "Ya' might be a bastard, but at least you're a handsome one, eh? Balances out." The doors open with a ding, the ravenette stepping out and leading the way to her room.

Cassie flashed a grin, moving to the mini bar and collecting two glasses and whiskey. "Anything I start, I always finish, doll." She set the glasses on the table and sat on the couch. "Still wantin' a drink?"

"Nicer than what I'm used to." Cassie hummed in response, opening the bottle and pouring a glass for the two of them. She offered him a glass, taking a sip from her own. "As long as I have somewhere to sleep - not that I get to do that often."

There's that charming smile of his.. "something we both need to become more acquainted with, it seems." She laughed softly, finishing her glass and refilling it without thinking, nestling back into the couch.

"Always?" The girl wondered between sips, adjusting to look at the other more comfortably. "Surely you must sleep sometime."

"and what qualifies as a.. fun night?" asked with a quirked brow, finishing up her second glass. "i'm no stranger to nightmares myself.. definitely not fun to deal with."

"Oh, I have some sort of idea.. I just thought I'd ask anyway." Cassie returned the wink, refilling her glass before moving a bit closer. "It's kinda weird how much I relate to a lot of the things you say.. It's nice to talk with someone who gets it."

"I know we've only recently met.. but I'd gladly listen to you talk about of your nightmares, if it'd help even a little bit.." She murmured against the rim of her glass, taking a drink aa she placed a hand on his leg, thumb stroking comforting circles into his knee.

Giving his knee a light squeeze, her hand then returned to her lap. "'suppose it's not fair to make ya talk about 'em, i'm sure they torture you enough as is.." she steered clear of acknowledging her nightmares too much. she hadn't thought to consider he may be the same.

"I figured as much.." She teased, lightly running her hand along his arm. "No offense taken.. Just thought I'd offer a shoulder if need be."

"Fair enough.." Murmured softly, placing her glass down. Slowly, her hand came to cup his cheek, pulling him in for a kiss.

What can she say? He was handsome, charming even. He could put her through absolute hell, she can handle it. She's a big girl. A hand moved to the tie around his neck, giving a light tug as she pulled him closer.
