"Aw, that's really kind of you, actually,"Deon said, dramatically putting a hand to his chest. It was a nice gesture, he would give her that much. Although he was pretty sure that neither one of them actually wanted to lay their heads down. it would be a little too crusty no matter what they ended up finding. If it wasn't blood, it was probably going to be some other human waste. He scrunched up his nose as he looked towards her. "What are you talking about, splitting up? That is not happening, because while I am confident that we are alone in this building, I am not taking the risk," Deon scoffed with a shake of his head. There was to be no splitting up, especially not since her phone was much nicer quality than his own.

arms are currently stiff across her chest as she stares at him, able to smell a hint of weed coming off of him, curious on what he was possibly going to spit out at her while his groan fills her ears.

"Really? I guess that wouldn't be my first choice. It made me cry so hard I got light headed the first time I saw it," Davy admitted, but that might have been due to his odd relationship with death from an extremely young age. That was a bit of a traumatizing movie, but very good. "Well, I can tell you that Final Destination isn't on the table… Maybe Finding Nemo or something like that," he said with a shrug. It was his own comfort movie, because that did seem like a good direction to go. "Going home to go to a funeral. A family friend passed away," Davy said, an uncomfortable ache over knowing Mr. Halloran really was gone. Not that it was shocking, the man had nearly been one hundred.

Catherine truly did appreciate the assistance in standing up, because it certainly wouldn't have been as graceful if she had been left to her own devices. The first time having her feet underneath her after being on the ground for so long was always a bit of a shock. She was going to be sore that day, but considering she didn't feel like her head got bashed in, she thought she was successful. "I'm pretty sure that I had a great time. I remember most of it, except not quite sure where the idea of sleeping on the beach came from. A little out of character for drunk me." But it had been a while since she had been on vacation, and that was an entirely different Catherine.
