Elizabeth noted he he acted after she kissed him last, before he grabbed her hand. She noted it and grew a bit worried. Connor might not last much longer, she told herself, so eat and then get to the inn. she nodded slightly to herself at the simple and solid plan.

She followed him in and let him pick the seat. For someone who hadn't had the time to slip her weapons into place, she was pretty relaxed, allowing Connor to be the vigilant one.

When the waitress came over, she also noticed the lingering gaze but payed no real attention to it as she scanned the menu. All of this, the entire menu, was now an open book of possibilities...but once her eyes reached it, she already knew what she was going to order.

"Hamburger please." she said looking up with a small smile. "Medium rare, with water and lemon as a drink."

Having been around people and their eating habits, she knew how to order...apparently medium rare was the best way to have a burger...though she personally had no idea what it actually meant.

She could feel his want through his kiss, and it also brought hers out a bit more. Dealing with the demon must have been tough on him. A fuzzy recollection of him standing in front of her with a book in hand, and him having a sort of expressionless face came to mind. She wondered how ,much will power he had left, but she wasn't going to trest that out here. She smiled a little and kissed him again, only quickly this time.

She waves off his self pity and grabbed his hand, shutting her door. "We don't have to worry about that anymore, more on lets get some food. And then...we can find someplace private...for an hour or two." she said that a little quieter. She paused to look over the truckstop, hoping that it had an inn or something.

She didn't quite remember up to the point that Connor had. It was still kind of blurry but she remembered the demon using his powers a lot, and the priest from before.

She didn't know much about Connor's ability to take things in stride, but she knew that it would be somewhat disturbing for her to see him being...well, not him.
She felt like she needed to know more and not just that he was going to say that he was 'okay'.

She stepped out of the car as he opened it and walked up close to him, hugging him at the waist and going in for a deep kiss. There was a little bit of lustful hunger there but not as much as there was last night. Mostly because of her time sleeping, and that she didn't want to get her hope up too much right at that moment, or it would keep bothering her until they did stop to have some more fun.

"I'm not asking if you're okay," she muttered, still a bit concerned, "I'm asking how you're feeling"

She smiled as she heard there was a truck stop. She hoped there was an inn too...maybe not to sleep for the night but it'd be nice to have a bed, she found herself thinking.

"I am feeling much better...and happy..and peaceful." she said as she started looking out the window. She almost felt like she didn't care what happened right now...not because she was waiting to die again...but because she was completely happy at the moment. For the most part, there could be a couple things better at that point. Like food and....

She looked back at him, starting to remember what the demon had done in her body, and she became a bit concerned for how he was dealing with it. "How are you feeling? and no hiding any of it."

He wouldn't have to.

Elizabeth slept hard and deep, and didn't move at all save for breathing. Roughly four hours later, bringing them into late morning or early noon...she finally stirred, bringing her hand up to clutch the pillow, still smiling. A moment later, her stomach growled and she sat up with a yawn.

She looked out the window for a bit before looking at him. Her shoulder still stung slightly, reminding her of all the events that had gone down in just one half of a day. "morning." she said, a bit cheerfully. She gently touched his hand before starting to readjust everything. Now awake, she slid the pillow back onto her lap. "Truckstop or town anywhere nearby?" she asked with another yawn. "Somethings we can do...but I have to at least eat" she smiled, "we never had our breakfast."

When Furthill was done with the tattoo, Elizabeth silently slipped her arm the rest of the way out of the sleeve. The ink would need to set, and all that stuff. She didn't catch much of the following conversation. She could only feel the pure joy that pumped itself through her body. She could never go back to her house in England with her family, but she can now be in a church and receive blessings from her Lord. Anytime, anyplace could feel like home as long as she could go to the house of her Lord.

She was in thought when connor started helping her up and she gave as much of her remaining strength she could so as to make it not a one sided ordeal. Once up, she intertwined their fingers and leaned against him both as a form of expressing love and because she doubted she could stand on her own.

And she fell asleep (more like passed out from sheer exhaustion) about half way through the blessing, but she looked happy and at peace.

She had to keep herslef awake, she kept mentally repeating, they still needed to get to the tattoo shop...man, she might even fall asleep in the middle of the tattoo at this rate.

She blinked, looking over but not moving as she heard the familiar buzz of a tatooing machine. She smiled in a kind of loopy sort of amused. A priest giving a tattoo.
Well, guess they wouldn't need to go to that tattoo shop after all, and she was grateful for it. Her shoulder twitched slightly when he started in on her new ink, and it was an uncomfortable experience but she was so tired it was just easier to ignore it. Instead she tiredly gazed on him, tracing his scars with her eyes.

Her look shifted to Connor when he started moving again, and as he took her hand she couldn't help but wonder if many years later, when she was in a hospital bed, if he would hold her hand there too. The question didn't stay long- of course he would.

"you can sleep now"

Oh, that sounded so good...but something else was weighing on her tired mind. She smiled a little.

"but I'm finally here...can't I get a blessing?" she of course was teasing him, but it was also important to her. She had been gone from the sanctity of the church for over three centuries. It was about time that she returned properly.

He didn't need to wait very long. Soon after the chance was over, he was painfully pulled out and down back to his origin. The de-possession was complete and Elizabeth's body went limp, her head hung down. She was breathing, though, so obviously she was still alive.

She just felt so tired.

She had started tired to begin with, then had to intensely fight with herself and a will greater than her own, and then went through a de-possession.

She was more than tired. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally. She wanted to sleep, to rest...

He sighed and looked away, bored looking. "You're right, I don't understand...you think mortals are so strong....yet I'm still out here...and your girlfriend is not."

He sneered at the devil's trap when they came to it, noting how impossible it would be for him to escape. This would hurt like hell (ha) but he knew he'd be back eventually. They have been around this long for a reason. As he was forcibly directed towards the chain, he growled at his captor, even snapping his jaws haughtily as Connor passed him to leave the circle. He watched with a glare as the young hunter picked up his book and flipped through it.

As the words were spoken and a chanting began, he grit his teeth through the occasional jerk and lots of pain. After a bit he sat up straight, with a grin. "Even after I'm gone, my effect will still stand. But at least you got lucky on that front, hunter. "

And he sent several strong blasts of his power outwards, amplifying Connor's lust as much as possible.

He body jerked a few more times, and he could feel himself being pulled away. But he grinned again, "She's probably infertile."

He had rolled his eyes at Connor's retort and demand to stop talking through his host, "Well, I don't have much of a choice, now do I?" he asked, jangling the chain on his handcuffs to make a point. He was trapped already, he knew. While he could hurt everyone there with the strength of the body he was in, he would still be stuck because of the cuffs he was wearing. So he was pretty much a mortal waiting to be hung. What a drag. He then looked at Connor like he was an idiot who had challenged his abilities/importance. "Since when I have mortals ever been stronger than their sins?"

A priest came up, and while the holy order generally made him uncomfortable, Lust couldn't help but grin at his apparent flustered state. He focused his amplifying abilities on him for the entire conversation. Well, certainly it was a fun end at least. Silently, he wondered how much it would take to break the holy man.

As he was being lead away, quite willingly actually, he called back with a laugh "He's also been a great asset in bed!"

Once they were out of sight, he still had a bit of a smirk but had quieted down, humming a bit as they went along. He had been as willing as willing could be so far...but he decided he wasn't going to be quite so willing once they were down in the basement. "Mortals aren't stronger than the sins they take joy in...but you're pretty neat. I can see why it would be hot for her once she got under your collar."
