The idea of sleeping all that time only to have to get up for the sake of something as simple as going to the loo made the whole thing even more absurd, and Pepper clapped a hand over her mouth to prevent another bout of hysterical laughter. At least he was laughing too, so she didn't feel like a complete idiot. "I'd never really thought of sleepin' that way, but I guess you're right. An' I suppose as a demon you're supposed to indulge in those sorts a things, right?" She was tempted to ask about the French Revolution, but decided that was probably a long conversation that she didn't have the concentration for at the moment.
And then she was remembering the makeshift stages the Them had created around Tadfield, any place they felt needed a performances space. Her expression turned a little sardonic. "It's Adam - he got to play whoever he wanted to play. It all depended on his mood for the day. He actually had a fleetin' interest in Hamlet for a bit, and that was worse. An' you can certainly dare ask who played Lady MacBeth, but dun't look at me. I never let 'em make me play the girl, told them they were bein' sexist if they did. Usually Brian played Lady MacBeth, he thought she was wicked." Her eyes sparkled mischievously. "Actually, when Adam played MacDuff, I got to be MacBeth..."
She tried to imagine grabbing any sword, any dagger or shield she might find and fighting with what was on hand. It was hard to picture. "I'm too used to stagin' it," she told him, "tryin' to make it look good to an audience. 'Cept for when it was unarmed because I did that a lot when I was little. Takes a lot of the reality out of it, I s'pose."
Pepper straightened up triumphantly in her chair when her coercing paid off. And the list was... impressive. "I don't even know what most of those dances are," she confessed, grinning. "And the ones I do know, I only know from seein' 'em in films. Must 'ave been fun." Or she hoped it was, at least, so he hadn't learned all of it for nothing. As for the rest... "You want me to confess a secret? Like my secrets are going to be half as good as any of yours!" She mock pouted and tried to come up with something. "What do you want to know? Give me some sort of guideline...."
