Rose wasn't a coffee drinker- hated the stuff, in fact. She much preferred tea (most of London did). By night three of avoiding Lucifer's power and staying awake, however, she had consumed all of the available earl grey. Her battle against The Devil now continued with the choking down of bitter blackness.

Her bloodshot eyes stared at the coffee machine. She wished the putrid stuff would brew faster. Her head was already bobbing wearily. At this rate, she'd pass out before the drink was even done!

Rose sighed, feeling an exhausted shakiness in her chest. She'd searched the whole building for Lucifer. No luck. Until she could confront him in-person, the girl refused to close her eyes for more than two seconds. Sam might have suspected something, but they hadn't talked about it.

The sound of her fingers nervously strumming on the counter prevented her from hearing someone else's approach...

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."
