After Misha doctored the hot chocolate, but before they could toast, Beth went to her minifridge and pulled from it a pink steel water bottle with designs of vague tribal nature. Winking at Misha, she opened the top and poured a bit of the dark red liquid inside. She screwed the cap back on set it down, though she pushed it towards Misha with a questioning look.

Lifting her cup, she held it up, and responded, "To his abs. Clinky!" She wiggled her eyebrows and pressed the rim of her cup to Misha's. Then she took a sip of her further doctored drink. With a contented sigh she sank onto the edge of the bed and tilted her head back. Then she blinked and frowned at her laptop, which was still dutifully playing a playlist for chilling. Just as quickly, she jumped up and walked over to it. "If we're going to make this a real party, we need the tunes for it." After tapping at the keyboard a couple of times, she returned to the bed, a new song playing. After considering her drink for a moment, she handily threw it back, ignoring the warmth of the hot chocolate as it flooded her mouth.

She let out another sigh and a wistful laugh as she started bobbing along to the beat.

Misha laughed at Beth's enthusiasm and mood shift but it was not an unkind sound. In fact, it rang with lightness and music and affection. It felt strange, such a noise of pure joy, but she embraced it and the moment. She was not about to let her brain tell her what to do when she had better options on hand. Curiously, she fetched the steel bottle and investigated the contents. The liquid inside smelled sweet and made her mouth water. After shooting Beth a quick look for permission, she added a healthy shot of it to her own now-only-warm chocolate. Then she raised it again with a bright grin. "A votre sante!"

She matched Beth's treatment of the drink neatly, tipping her head back and swallowing it down whole-sale. It burned pleasantly and left sweetness coating her tongue. Setting the cut down on the desk, Misha laughed again and slipped to a position opposite Beth. Dancing? Dancing she could do.

And dance, they did. The rest of the night--well, morning, really--was spent picking out more music, dancing on practically every surface, drunkenly rating each of the other Chosen's butts, compiling a list of celebrities to petition their goddesses to Choose (at the top of Beth's list was Tom Hiddleston and Gwendoline Christie), among other things. It was a whirlwind of laughter, drinking, and welcome distraction from the darkness that had followed them from the Alps.

The sky had begun to lighten by the time Beth conceded to exhaustion. Her water bottle of Chambord almost empty, the cookies altogether destroyed, she curled up on her side next to Misha, mumbling something apologetic that she couldn't keep her eyes open a moment longer. Between one breath and the next, she slipped into slumber, arm wrapped around a stuffed animal that was a round ball of fluff with an arrangement of features that didn't immediately recall a known species.

Suggled up behind her, Misha dozed off as well but the sleep did not last long and just over an hour had passed before she started awake with a shudder. She lay still for long moments as she waited to make sure Beth would continue sleeping. When the other woman's breathing stayed steady and even, Misha sighed under her breath. Then, every so carefully, she slipped from the bed and found her discarded robe and slippers. After putting them all back on, though, she paused and turned to regard Beth with a grateful smile.

"You rock, honey," she whispered. Bending over the sleeping woman, she adjusted the blankets for better comfort and brushed some hair from her forehead. Then she fetched a cup, filled it with water from the bathroom tap, and set it on the nightstand. "Thank you."

Sending a final smile Beth's way, Misha retrieved her thermos and let herself from the room. She was silent as a ghost and very careful to lock the door behind her. She hoped that Beth would understand the water as a thank you but, if not, she would tell her later. Spending the night with her new friend, drinking and dancing and chasing away the ghosts with giggles... It was priceless.

Plus Beth had excellent taste and she was more than ready to accept Tom Hiddlestonas a Chosen. Smiling to herself, Misha decided that a shower would help keep her awake and then... breakfast. It was a new day. No point in sleeping now.
