Ellie had been standing on the sidelines enough herself tonight, so when she saw Hannah also hovering at the edge of the dancefloor, looking uncomfortable and alone, she had immediately made her way over. Held out her hand, almost nervously, and asked the other to dance.
What Ellie wasn't expecting was Hannah's whispered pleading, her wide eyes and desperate expression. The very fact Hannah thought Ellie was cruel enough to play a prank on her almost made anger bubble up inside the girl.
But Ellie held her tongue, ignoring the hurt and instead offering a small yet genuine smile. " It's not a prank, I promise, " she insists, her own gaze leaving Hannah for a moment to glance around them. Checking that no one was daring to laugh.
" I just want to dance with my friend, forget about the outside world for a bit – and hey, if anyone tries to laugh or say anything, I'll punch them. Right in the nose! " Her tone is warm yet weighted – Ellie isn't bluffing. Any trouble would be met with five-foot-something of pure fury. Nobody messes with her friends.
" So? What do you say? Even if it's just one dance, it might be fun - and this is a good song. "
@fracturals ❛ may i have this dance? ❜ ( ellie )
Instantly, her eyes search the room for malicious smiles and giggling, widening in alarm while she finds none and returning to Ellie. Of course. Of course. Ellie is cool, too cool to actually be friendly. "Whatever this is, please don't," she whispers. Hannah wishes she could sound tough, menacing, but the thought of being mocked again makes her legs weaker than any infected could. "Please. I can't stand pranks." She doesn't get it yet, but she's assuming that dancing together is already weird as it is, but her doing it? Ellie's other friends will likely point fingers and laugh at how awkward she is.

And besides, I think the Devil gets a bad rep. Oh, you do, do you? Sure. I mean, what did he really do that was so bad? What, rebel against his dad? Ask some naked lady if she wanted an apple? Be still my heart. Do go on.

JJ thanked whatever entity out there that the office was currently empty, save for their team. They'd just gotten back from a case, dropping off relevant files and paperwork before a well-deserved rest, and someone had jokingly mentioned how it would easier if they had another Morgan around to ease the amount of file boxes they had to carry.
Big mistake.
ONE Derek Morgan could be enough, let alone ten of him cluttering the office. Especially since each one seemed to be dumber than the last. How were they making less progress now? Jennifer sighed, hands settling upon her hips.
Blue gaze directed towards the companion beside her, eyebrow raised. " How exactly do we fix this? " The blonde questions tiredly, hoping there was an easy solution.
The younger Winchester hadn't meant to bring up the pain that had been slowly increasing since he woke up, but Dean had committed on the instinctual squint Sam made every time the flashlight moved, and well - it had just slipped out. Cue the conversation Sam had really wanted to avoid, especially considering his... history with head pain.
Sam let the stream of light dip slightly, the shadows creeping from above allowing his expression to soften slightly. Made it easier to glance at Dean, to ignore the throbbing in his head – even if his expression was still scrunched with pain. " No, " he counters immediately.
" I'm fine, I can handle it – besides, we're already here, what's the point in leaving now? " It's easy to brush away the protective brotherly concern thrown his way, even if Sam feels a flash of guilt in doing so. Dean was only ever looking out for him, and the older hunter had plenty of reason to be worried. " Let's just get this over with and head back to the motel. I'll rest or whatever there, Dean. "
They probably had some painkillers somewhere, and Sam was sure a couple of those with a good sleep would fix the ache resonating in his skull. Better to believe that than to consider it could be a sign of something more.
@fracturals asked; "Of course I'm squinting, it's so bright in here." ( sam @ dean )
Dean lowered his gun to look over at his younger sibling, was he joking? it's several shades of shadow in here.
" Dude, you literally have the flashlight, the only light in here "
Dean looked around the old house they stood in, nothing seemed extra spooky, The house was haunted sure, but they were hunters so that was a occupational hazard they actually looked for and the ghost of a drowned woman didn't blind you with lights, least Dean hadn't found anything to suggest otherwise.
" Look maybe you sit this one out Sam " his overly protective side taking a stance, remembering those migraines Sam had and all the demonic events during that time, Maybe it was happening again?
