Regroup (OOC)

Persephone is not going to initiate intimacy with Henry. But she will carelessly flirt and make herself available, so to speak, allowing herself to be used if it happens, by anyone who would like to, frankly. If he (or someone else here) does make a move, how it happens will likely determine whether she goes along with it or not. If no one does, she will simply try to fall asleep in someone's arms, even if they remain fully clothed.

The poor girl has just been brutally assaulted and then went to hell, after all; she is dissociating, drunk, and desperate for anything to provide some comfort and solace.

PS This sort of reaction is in line with my own personal experience coping with PTSD, but please let me know if my RPing it makes anyone uncomfortable.

It seems a bit weak? I think Alasdair might need more than just a the promise of a little socialisation?

But roll it and we can see, maybe, on a very high roll, he is that desperate that he will compromise his beliefs and possibly his position for your company? But this will also mean a demand for your valuable company going forward. On a 7-9 he will demand much more, but we will need to work out what that is (possibly in play), since we don't want to take you out of the story by forcing you to stay down here for a while or have come down here regularly.

He wasn't... until he became such, as a result of your goading Circe with him being an inappropriate date. :)
It also might be a bit of an exaggeration, he is probably only, like, forty? :)
I had not pictured Henry as drunk enough to be falling asleep in a stimulating situation like this, but if you do, he will have to make do.
What you do ... or don't do... in the privacy of your own bedroom is none of her business... which is another way to say: she will assume you did, anyway. Explaining to her: "We did not have sex! We just slept in the same bed... yes, OK, naked..." could be a cute-but-unbelievable story. :)
I don't think a night of ill-advised, drunken copulation will do much to reduce any linger sexual tension... it could add to it.
If you want, you can cuddle for a bit and then fall asleep before anything happens.

Do you want to have an awkward scene in the morning, when you both wake up naked in bed, possibly unsure of exactly what happened, but pretty sure it did not go all the way? Or is he gone when you wake up? (... and did he have a conversation with Circe while sneaking out?:).
For your character: I think sleep and no sex seems right. We can make that happen.

I would think this whole night (no matter what happens in the bedroom) triggers your Intimacy Move, but, as No-Status nobody, he has no Debts, so there is not mechanical effect.
Can do.

Really? I interpreted that exactly the opposite way.
Try that with a gender tweak: "Come to be honey, daddy's sleepy"... Um, yeah, implication there?
He isn't going to, but I hardly think 'sexual predator' of a guy who has just been tasked with helping a girl take her clothes off.

Agreed... but coupled with everything else in the scene it sure is ambiguous...
