[OOM: Door in London Below]

Door stumbles in - through the bathroom door, this time. Blood coats the right side of her face, matting her hair and dripping onto her leather jacket.

*He puts his arms around her, pulling her closer. That's a reasonable enough explanation. Still... he might be checking out that alleyway for himself. Fix some of those pesky cobblestones.*

Can I get you anything, love? Something to drink, maybe?

*He'll hail a waitrat. He's not moving from this spot.*

"Honestly, love, I think I'd like to go to bed," she says, telling the full truth for the first time in the conversation. "I'm a bit shaken up, and a little woozy, and Milliways isn't the easiest place to Open to."

No, of course not. I've a potion you can take at home to help the wooziness.

*He stands, taking her hands to help her up.*

Can you walk with my help or shall I carry you?

*What? He likes to hover.*

"I think I can remember how to walk," she says with a slight smile, but her arm is locked tightly through his, and she may be leaning on him just a little bit.

*She is, and he is already planning on pretty much being at her beck and call the rest of the evening. He's very happy to do so.*

If you get woozy, I'l catch you.

*He smiles down at her, patting her hand.*

"Mmm," she says, and while she really is quite capable of walking, one arm slides around his neck.

"Carry me?"

*He picks her up easily.*

There we are.

*He kisses her while he has her in his arms.*

Now, let's get you home. I'll take care of you, dear.

*And with that, he carries her back to the House of Arch.*
