After dinner - Queenie flirted quite a lot with Jacob - Tina offered them a room they could stay in for the night. There were only two beds, but Cora reassured them by reminding them she could sleep in the same bed as Newt. In all honesty, Newt simply wanted to finish what he came to do in New York. After Tina and Queenie left the room, bidding good nights to them, Newt threw off the sheets and placed his suitcase on the floor. He opened it and allowed Cora to walk in first, then followed her in, ignoring Jacob's bewildered look and scream as he sat on the bed with a cup of hot chocolate.
After a moment of silence, Newt's hand popped out of the suitcase, beckoning Jacob to follow. "Come on," he said from inside the case.
Jacob sighed and walked to the case, slowly walking inside it. He felt embarrassed about walking down a suitcase because it just did not make sense to him. His waist ended up being too big for the case, so he tried to shimmy his way into it. "For the love of - " he grunted and fell through, colliding with various objects, instruments, and bottles.
"You all right, Mr. Kowalski?" Newt questioned as he helped Jacob up. "Will you sit down?"
Jacob dropped down onto a crate hand-labeled MOONCALF PELLETS. He was inside a small wooden shed that contained a camp bed, tropical-gear, and various tools hung up on the walls. There were wooden cupboards containing rope, nets, and collecting jars, along with a very old typewriter, a pile of manuscripts, and a medieval bestiary on a desk. There were plants on shelves and different types of medicine, and maps, drawings, and moving photos of creatures on the walls.
"Good. Now, let's get a look at you." Newt examined Jacob's neck injury. "That's definitely - "
Now back into the comforts of her home, Cora nodded and nuzzled her head against Newt's shoulder.
"Uh..." Jacob had no words.
Newt cleared his throat. "Sorry."
Cora paused in her actions, turning to Jacob to dab his sweet with a towel. "Hello again, sweet-pea. My name is Cora. It's very nice to properly meet you. Would you like a cup of tea? Or is water more your thing?"
Jacob gulped. "You don't... You don't have an accent. You know, like - like Newt. Never noticed it before."
Cora nodded. "That's right. I was born in Washington. Once I met Newt, it just clicked. And now, I'm here.." She stepped closer to Jacob, patting his face. "You're even hotter than before - and I would know."
