Bryn didn't even bother changing her clothes, after she had gathered what John needed. She actually skidded to a stop in front of his door barefooted. The borrowed shirt was pinned up in the front to keep it decent, and even though the shirt was long enough for a mini dress, the shorts beneath weren't her shortest pair, and peeped out the bottom.

She knocked on his door. Knowing better than barge in a mage's home. No doubt he had spells set and warding up. He was likely protecting more than himself now. She practically bounced on her toes, the bag with everything he needed from her did bounce against her hip. Was this real?

She had to think about that a minute. A yawn parted her lips before she finished. She covered her mouth as her jaw cracked a little. That was new. She gave him a little grin when she was done. "I don't know. But..." Should she stay was the question. Him having Gen, and her Edward and Jacob. One might swear she didn't owe him fidelity, but she knew it would do him some injury if she gave in to temptation. "We both know I have a weakness when it comes to you. So as much as I would like to say I'd like to stay, we both know I shouldn't."

Bryn didn't know if her love for him would ever fade. But she had to be stronger than her weakness. She didn't know if he had one toward her. And he probably didn't and she wasn't a vampire that could woo who she wanted into her bed anymore. She speared a bit of carrot with her fork, and tapped her lower lip. No. she better not even try. It would betray his trust, and what would she do if he gave in?

John paused just as he was about to take a drink. He knew she was right. A small smile appeared and vanished as he took a drink, downing most of it in one go before putting the glass down. Next he took a cigarette from the pack on the table and lit it.

"Yeah you're right. You should head on home" he said, before taking a drag. He closed the lighter and placed it back on the table before plucking the cigarette from his lips.
"Get some rest when you're done eating, yeah? If you're not feeling knackered now it will eventually kick in and when it does, you should probably try and find somewhere comfortable to sleep" he pointed out. Not that he really needed to.

Bryn didn't shovel the food into her mouth, though she was hungry she did have manners. But she did make a nice dent in the potatoes, hoping they'd give her enough energy to make it to her apartment. And her bed. She had plans of crawling beneath those furs, and sleeping as long as her body would allow her to.

"I told Jacob about you. Sort of." There were things she hadn't mentioned, like the fact that he was a Master of the Dark Arts. Or that she was coming here to get her curse lifted. What she had told him had been short and simple.

"Did you?" John asked. He had seen her interactions with Jacob and Edward. Through the network mostly but he had also seen them in Asgard at the banquet.

Gen had managed to persuade him to go even though he had wanted to avoid it. He didn't want to be anywhere near Loki, and he wanted to avoid the so-called Gods after everything with Bryn and Thor. At least, he had. Until fairly recently where he learned to just stop caring about what had happened. He had enough guilt without that adding to the weights. He felt no more guilt about what happened with him and Bryn. He didn't yet know how to feel about Bryn and the two men he saw her with.

John took a long drag from the cigarette, elbow leaning on the table.

"Yes, not so much your name as 'a blond man that isn't Edward'," Bryn paid closer attention to the meat she was dragging off the chicken, unsure what his reaction would be, "I called you my best friend. That I might smile at you a little like I Edward, but that's because I do love you. And," she sighed softly, "that's not likely to ever change."

She chanced a glance up at him. The way he was, how he'd done so much for her already, and now he'd given her back her humanity... there was no way she could pack away her feelings for him. "I also told him you were the second. And that you have a girl that you were rather infatuated with. So you were not someone he would have to worry about." And by the gods she hoped she was right. "I told him that I love him, and Edward." She knew she had the same stupid little grin on her face when she'd told Jacob.

John had been about to make a joke when she mentioned that she loved Jacob and Edward. He stopped himself and topped up his drink, swirling it around the glass before he knocked most of it back. He grimaced slightly at the warmth and placed the glass back down, taking a few drags on the cigarette he had been holding before stubbing it out.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy. Now you get to share your lives together without you feeling guilty about yourself" John stated quite simple. "You should hurry up and finish and head back before you really start feeling tired. I'm not sure but after a thousand or so years without normal sleep, I am guessing it might catch up on you quicker than you'd like" he added, moving to stand up.

Bryn knew he was right. While instincts told her to finish what was on her plate, she pushed away from her. Giving herself little bit of a shake. "I won't ever have to wonder what their blood will taste like, or have it linger on my tongue. I won't have to hide things from my daughters anymore." She was unable to tame the smile on her lips. She had never had to hide anything from Zu.

She pushed herself up to stand. Because he was right. She could feel her head swimming, even after the food. "I will owe this good night's sleep to you John Constantine. And every one there after. You were the best friend a vampire could have. And you are the best friend a viking can ever have." She wobbled a little. Fuck. "Er, I had better go. As it is, as always, you are right. And I have to wonder if I will make it all the way home."
