[Waverly has had a bit of cider. After time being out of sorts and disoriented from her ghost adventures, the warm bubbly feelings from the cider are a welcome change of pace. She knows that the feelings aren't real and she'll probably crash hard when it's over but for now she's enjoying the fluffy cloud of light she's currently floating on.

Which is why when she spots Diana in the crowd, she darts to her side with a bright smile.]

Diana! There you are.

Here I am. [Diana agrees, softening when she sees the familiar face—a face she's seen far too little of lately.] You seem to be enjoying yourself—I hope?

I'm feeling hunky dory.

[Which is a nice change of pace, even if it is Hell-induced. She holds up her mug of cider.]

I have a little help, but sometimes help is good.

It did not take too much help, I hope?

[Diana offers a smile, softening the words. She's not here to judge—least of all now.]

You deserve a little peace and pleasure.

No, no. Not too much at all.

[Though the Earps are drinkers so "too much" can tend to be a sliding scale.]

I think the peace is coming. Though I probably shouldn't say that because that might jinx it.

I do not think you can jinx it. Not like that. It comes and it goes, but... we will enjoy it while it lasts?

Can't say no to that.

[She rests her chin in her hand as she thinks it over.]

Something about coming back to the median, right?

That does not feel like a very optimistic way to look at it, but yes. A return to median.

A moment of peace.

[She nods.]

I think it is good. Because it means we'll always return to the middle. Things'll get bad for a while, but there'll always be a point where things'll be okay.

[They'll have a brief chance to breathe.]

For it to be the middle, we would have to have higher highs at times, would we not?

We could use some truly good news.

[Waverly pauses, considering that before nodding.]

Yep. You do have a point there. We could use something better than another Mammon vacation.

[And she has a feeling that one of those probably won't be happening for a while.]

That was a reprieve in some ways, but I still hardly trust it.

[Mammon and his demons were their own kind of unsavory. Still...]

It does make you wonder though, what else is out there. If there are other villages with other people.

They can't all be like this, can they?

[She shrugs because it's hard to say.]

According to the lore, each of the Lords of Hell had their own schtick or sin. Lucifer was pride. Mammon was greed. I'd say that any other area has their own trappings to go with it.

But all sin, so all trouble in the end. Though I'm not sure I understand how a hotel is representative of pride.

It might be a metaphor.

[And Waverly is drunk, so Diana gets the treat of her elaborating:]

You know, for his ...

[And she makes a gesture involving a certain part of the male anatomy while giggling.]

Wait.

No.

Wait.

Diana is still trying to do the math on this one.

Because.

...How?

[Waverly shrugs.]

I dunno. Men always build or buy massive extravagant things when they're trying to make up for a less than stellar penis.

[She's stereotyping wildly, but she's drunk so she thinks the stereotypes will forgive her.]

That seems like a striking weakness, if they're so insecure about a little bit of anatomy.

I don't understand it either, honestly, I just know that they get veeeeeeeery sensitive about it.

I suppose that's no surprise. It's a very sensitive portion of their anatomy.

It is. And some of them can't even use them very well.

[Why did she spend so long with Champ? Why? Sex was so much better when the other person was actually good at it.]

[Diana presses her lips together, holding back a smile.]

My impression has been that it's not something you have much use for.

[Which is valid; they are entirely unnecessary for pleasure. Though, in Diana's experience, they can be fun.]

I can when they know how to use it.

[She shrugs.]

I like both men and women. Though my taste in men has been highly questionable.

One would think most people would like both men and women.

[Or maybe she just feels that way because she also likes both.]

I have sisters who would tell you that being attracted to any men implies questionable taste.

[She laughs.]

I've met some good men. Not many, but there are rare diamonds that deserve to be treasured. The fact that the bar is so low in some areas ... definitely says something.
