"I think I can arrange for that to happen." Emerson watched Bones' eyes scan over her with a small smirk. "And how often is 'more often'? Because we could just get you more shirts for me to wear. Besides, I thought you didn't want us wearing clothes at all." She bent over to reach for glasses, passing one to Bones.

"I'm sure we would both enjoy that." Emerson laughed through her nose as she hovered her hand in the air over the bottles Bones had selected. "What do you want to start out with?" she questioned, glancing back at him with a slightly arched eyebrow.

"I think I'm going to need a few drinks before that," Emerson replied, grabbing the bottle and studying it. Rum of some sort. She removed the lid and poured his drink, then hers, nestling the bottle in between them, bringing her legs up to fold beneath her.

"Hmm..." Emerson thought about it, downing her first drink in two gulps before refreshing her glass. "You mean like a little fact, or something deeper than that?" she questioned, spinning her glass so the drink swirled inside, watching that before looking up at Bones.

"Ahh, okay, I'll start with something easy so you don't have a hard time beating it," Emerson teased, downing her drink and pausing. "Um... If I catch someone I don't know staring at me, I'll stare at them until they look away, and then make a face when they're not paying attention." She refilled her drink and nodded for him to take his turn.

Emerson blanched, staring at his fingers with narrowed eyes. "That's... gross," she murmured after a moment. "But then they're your real fingers, just not your original fingers," she corrected, downing her drink again. "Okay, my turn. Since we're getting to the bodily things..." She hadn't ever really planned on telling Bones, but just decided to right then. "I was pregnant a while ago, but I lost my baby." She peeked out from beneath her curtain of hair, judging Bones' reaction.

That made Emerson's breathing hitch a little, and she scooted back to pull her legs out from under her, bringing her knees to her chest again. "I'm sorry," she said quietly, fingering her damp hair. She remembered something he had told her a while ago, though, needing to not think about Marcus. "What about your twins?" She knew he had killed their mother and handed them to Jacqueline... maybe he just didn't count them.

"That's..." Emerson trailed off, downing another drink instead of finishing her sentence. She sighed and set her forehead on her knee, speaking into her leg when she asked, "Do you think your father did that, too?" Her voice was low, but she couldn't help asking, as the entire thing with him was making her feel a panic attack come on.

"What," Emerson said dubiously, stretching the word out. "I don't believe you, somehow." She unfolded herself and relaxed in his lap, though, pulling the throw blanket off of the back of the couch and wrapping it around their shoulders. She refilled their drinks and tossed hers back, balancing the glass on her knee and resting her head on his shoulder. "Hmm..." She glanced over at Copper, trying to imagine the cat with purple stripes.

"Aww," Emerson murmured, closing her eyes for a best before pouring another drink. "Okay, I'll take your word for it." She wrapped her arm behind his shoulders, leaning in to kiss him, pulling back only to down her drink. "Okay, so, before my brothers left me, I would take care of their kids, right? And one time... okay, it was a really bad idea, but I thought I would teach them a little about alchemy, and my nephew messed up the potion and it ended up turning him into my niece."

Emerson sucked in a deep breath and gave him a sheepish look. "Well... I knew my brother would kill me, so... we made something to make everyone forget she was ever a he?" She shrugged and took another drink. "So it's between me and the kid. Well, I guess you as well, now, so." She toyed with the amulet beneath Bones' shirt she was wearing.

"That's even harder to believe than the purple thing," Emerson claimed, although she could see it happening to Bones. "What makes you think he was the one that convinced you to do it?" she asked, refilling her drink and downing it, setting the glass aside to take a break for a few minutes.

Emerson smiled. "Good. I think I'd like to," she said honestly, running her finger along the rim of her glass. "Mm, okay... When I was little and my brothers were doing everything for me, I was a tyrant. I mean, even with my angelic smile and the cutesy shit I pulled for looks for the legion and human strangers, I was terrible for my brothers when it wouldn't go down on record. Imagine two grown ass he-angels trying to find six year old me in a storm that I had caused because they wouldn't let me keep a lamb I had stolen from a farmer that lived near us. I hid with it in a small cave, snuggled up with a blanket like this." She fingered the stitching in the one wrapped around their shoulders.

"No. I mean, it was, but..." Emerson shook her head, kind of wishing she hadn't brought them up at all. She grabbed her glass again and filled it, realizing they had almost finished this bottle. She downed the drink and filled his before setting the empty bottle aside. "I miss them, though." She didn't even know if they were okay.

"Serves you two right. What did the humans in the boutique do?" Emerson tried to imagine Bones and another demon in a boutique, and it did not go well over in her head, as she just had a picture of him and a buddy in a frilly, pink room. She shuddered and reached for a new bottle; vodka this time.

Emerson rolled her eyes, filling her glass and holding it to offer the bottle to Bones. "Okay, so... for a while, Kylist wanted to have a band, and for some reason, he got it in his sick head to literally kill off all of the competition, and he would have me lure them to their deaths, but one guy from an old band... I don't even remember the name, ended up being a demon. Anyway, after this stupid bloody fight, that resulted in the rest of the demon's band dying, Kylist and him started a new band. It was terrible and only lasted a couple years." She tossed back her drink, her eyes watering a little at the sting.

"That's brutal," Emerson muttered, staring blankly for a moment. "Were you hurt badly?" she asked after a moment, refilling her glass and sipping on the drink, rather than just tossing it back.

She liked the noise of Bones' laughter, and smiled. "Gross," Emerson muttered, finishing another drink before nestling her face into Bones' neck. "Mm... When I was first in the legion, there was this guy who would come into the hospital I was temporarily stationed in at least once a week with a new injury, and my brother had it in his mind that they were self-inflicted, just so he could come. Anyway, everyone was pretty sure my brother killed him because he was afraid of the angel getting too much face time in with me." The woman chuckled softly. "It was actually me."

Emerson slowly rose from her face nestled in Bones' neck, her eyes narrowing at him as she did so. "That is total bullshit," she said. "I cannot believe you think I would fall for that." As if annoyed about that, she stood and took another drink, glancing back down at him with the look still on her face, almost calculating.

Emerson watched Bones' back, feeling a little stupid over his reaction. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her own bottle, heading upstairs to grab her angelblade from her bag before back down to the main floor, not wanting to tell Bones where she was going but also not wanting him to kill her over giving him a heart attack. "I'm going to the lighthouse," she called down, palming the blade and bottle carefully. "I have my sword, so I'll be fine," she grumbled, grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch and walking barefoot to the backdoor and out.

Emerson walked briskly to the lighthouse, taking the pathway to avoid stepping on anything sharp. She threw the blanket over her shoulder, holding the pommel of the blade so the metal cut into her arm, as she didn't want it visible around her. With the bottle tucked into her arm, she opened the lighthouse and climbed the dusty stairs, finally making it to the control room before stepping up the ladder to sit up on the roof. The sun was going down, so she watched that, wrapping herself up in the blanket and taking sips from the bottle.

Emerson glowered stubbornly atop the small platform, downing most of her bottle fairly quickly until she felt lightheaded. She wrapped the big blanket tighter around herself, sliding down until she laid to stare out past the cliff and towards the ocean, the blanket covering so much area around and above her that she was sort of swallowed up by it. She kept the blade tucked safely against her chest, biting her lip gently before starting to doze off a little.

((I'm a little confused by that post... Do you want something to happen to one of them?))
((Don't worry about that! I just wanted to check before I posted.))
Emerson bristled despite the gradually dropping temperature, an argument warring in her head with whether she should go and apologize to Bones, even though neither of them had honestly done anything wrong. Still, she stayed up on the platform, eventually sitting back up and tossing back more of the drink in her bottle, backing up so her spine aligned with the window that looked down into the control room.

For what felt like hours, even though it was probably only a few minutes, Emerson put off going back to the house. She especially didn't want to run into Bones if he had already finished up with the basement and had taken a victim down there, and that excuse was enough for her to let the 'be stubborn' part of her brain win the argument. She closed her eyes and breathed in as her frustration fueled ice that grew across the platform.
