She steeled herself and looked out the window instead of him. <span style="font-weight: bold">"They're not bad people, Ocean's Eleven. We try to keep young people outta trouble. Those Frogmen,"</span> she continued with a slight grimace, turning to face him, <span style="font-weight: bold">"are a bunch of fairly awful people. Have some Harry Potter-style ideas about supernatural beings exposing themselves to the rest of the world and getting back at the humans for making us stay in hiding so long. In a way, I sorta get them, ya feel? I mean, if my boss knew about my weekly bath, she probably wouldn't be so mystified by my stubbornness regarding that one day off a week, but I also don't think any good will come of it."</span> She smiled thinly. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Too many movies about too many people killing too many things they don't understand, right?"</span><br/><br/>Freeing herself from Dimitri's gentle grip on her hand, she scooted over in her bed, wincing when the sore skin was pushed against the mattress. She gave it a gentle pat. <br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Ya don't <span style="font-style: italic">have</span> to nap in the ocean, right? Bed's available."</span> She smiled again. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Just like it was during your first hangover. Don't think you ever looked sorrier, huh?"</span> He was pale, had dark rims around his eyes, and his lively hair was hanging down as if it, too, needed a nap. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Let's just take it easy 'till the morning, hm? We'll investigate this - eyecore stuff and your mystery girl. Get in touch with Lola, the leader of OE. Okay?"</span></span></div></span></div>
