Lexi held up her hands and started with a whisper but ended up with a crescendo.<br/><br/>“Okay, okay, okay, HOLD IT! It is already God Awful In The Middle of the Night Shoot Me Its Too Fuckin Late for THIS SHIT.”<br/><br/>She slammed her hands down on the table, trembling. The three stared at her.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “This is just a lot to take in. Summon a demon. He says, summon a demon the way I would say, Let’s go to a Mariner’s game. Okay. Say I agree to this, I guess there isn’t much choice, but don’t we have to prepare, like fast or gather candles or something? There seems a lot at stake here. I’m totally spent and if a demon showed up tonight, I would probably not even be worth bait. What do you say? Shall we call it a night? Then tomorrow, we can do this summoning shit. I want to know more about that Captain so I could do some research that might provide some helpful information.”<br/><br/>Lexi reached into Neo’s lap and slipped her hand in his. The warmth and strength of his hand helped still the trembling.<br/><br/>“I guess you guys have a hotel, but, you could crash here. We could figure out something. I don’t really want to stay alone tonight. My couch makes into a bed and so does my recliner. I have a futon in that large closet, that someone could use to crash on. I know my flat is small, one bedroom and one bath, but we could manage for one night. “<br/><br/>She stopped rambling, suddenly spent of energy. She looked from Mr. von Engels’ stoic face, to Yukina’s concerned but serene face to Neo’s face which was full of mischief. With a rueful chuckle, Lexi smiled softly with a shake of her head.<br/><br/>“I’m going to bed. You guys sort out what you want to do. You are welcome here. There are extra blankets and pillows in that large closet to the left of the door.”
