Sera made a soft "hm" as she stood up and left the room. A bit of clinking could be heard in the other room and after a minute or two, she returned and placed a glass of water and a small bottle of aspirin on the table beside her bed. "That sounds super shitty." Once more, she was infinitely glad it hadn't been her. As she sat down on the bed again, Mordecai hovered in and happily placed a mug of coffee in her hands, from which she took a sip. Mmm, coffee..

"Yes, god, yes," he said as he fumbled for the aspirin, reacting either to her comment or to the offering. He gave up on any attempt to sit up before even really trying, instead suffering through the little bit of extra trouble to take the painkillers while remaining horizontal. This complete, he returned the glass to the table carefully, compensating for his diminished motor skills as best he could, and breathed a long sigh. Only thing left now was to distract himself until the aspirin started to take effect. "This is your place then?"

Sera had never before in her life saw someone who was that incredibly happy to have aspirin. Either it was that bad, or he was just a huge baby. She didn't comment though, instead watching as he fumbled around to take it. His question, however, made her tense, and she frowned into her coffee mug as she took a long sip, and when she finally replied, it was in clearly displeased tones, "Yeah."
Rather than let the situation sit like that on such a note, she gave him a sidelong glance before asking, "Want some coffee or something?"

"That's some kinda Cinderella s**t," he commented, resting his wrist at his forehead. His tone wasn't without some disappointment, a slight frown in his expression. He raised his other hand to deny her offer, "I'm good." More like he didn't trust himself to tolerate more than a few sips of water. The worst.

Whether she recognized the disappointment in his voice or not, she had expected it regardless - hell, even she was disappointed, so she expected everyone else to be at least partially disappointed as well - and she looked at him sharply. The glance was brief, and she returned to frown at her coffee. "Yeah, except it was ******** backwards," the brunette commented bitterly before she took another sip, waved Mordecai away, then moved to the end of the bed so she could scoot back and lean back against the wall. "So, Ambergris, huh?"

He stared ahead in silence for a time before propping himself up on his elbow and regarding Seraphine with an expression of terrible disappointment - but directed towards himself. "Sorry about it, but I'm pretty much the biggest piece of s**t on the face of this earth. Surprise surprise, the random guy you met at a bar is a d**k."

She paused and lowered her coffee mug, brows raised and giving an expression that was indeed surprised - not because he was a jerk, but because she wasn't at all expecting such an admission. Her mouth opened and closed quickly after once she realized she had no idea what to say. She frowned again, really unsure.. where did that come from? "Well yeah, I don't expect random guys I meet at clubs and bars to be amazing and s**t," she said with a vague shrug. "But you're not a piece of s**t." Another frown. "What's with the outburst anyway?" Seriously, where did that come from?

He narrowed his eyes in scrutiny. "Then why are you mad? …You're mad, right?" He assumed she was, from the tone of her voice and then her sudden reminder of his lie. For just about any other girl he had known, he was pretty sure that kind of behavior pointed to some degree of anger.

Was she mad? She didn't even know. The brunette frowned into her coffee again, more thoughtfully this time, then sighed. "I don't even know," she said before she took another sip. "I guess.. it's just kind of expected? Like.." Another thoughtful frown and another sigh. Him saying he was a piece of s**t after commenting on where she lived with some degree of (expected) disappointment... "You probably wanted to try and get money from me, right?" She asked, focusing her gaze on him again.

He released his weight from his elbow and flopped face-down against the mattress with a reluctant groan.

Sooo that was a yes. She sighed again before taking another sip of her coffee and frowned at the opposite wall. Even though she'd sort of expected it, it still bothered her, though she was a little confused as well -- she sort of expected herself to be more mad or upset than she actually felt... Though she supposed that probably had something to do with expecting this. "Don't worry about it," she finally replied in softer tones, still looking at the wall, and took another sip.

He stretched his arms out in front of him to gesture with his hands, speaking with his face still muffled by the bed, "It's not like I don't like you at all, you know. Like I didn't have fun or something. I don't waste my time on bitches."

That admission was similarly unexpected, and she looked back over to him with eyebrows raised again, then turned her head to smile into the coffee mug in her hands. She took a final sip before passing the mug over to Mordecai, then pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged her arms around them. "I don't waste my time on jerks either. You're pretty cool too, y'know." He certainly acted like he knew, or at least he did in clubs. Right now, either this was how he normally acted alone, or this was just how he acted when drugged or hungover... She wasn't sure which.

"Oh, please. How long did I even know you before I was on you? Don't even act like I'm not an a*****e." Yeah, usually he invested a bit more effort into not acting like a tool, even when hungover, but sometimes his thoughts caught up with him - and being hungover made it a hell of a lot harder to shake them off.

"I think you're forgetting the fact that I didn't mind," she reminded him. She wasn't really sure what else to say though, because this seemed more like a circular argument than anything else. Instead, she looked down at her toes for a few moments, then glanced over at him again. "Is the aspirin kicking in yet?" He wasn't groaning and acting super pitiful anymore, at least.
