Phoenix rather enjoys his sojourns topside. And since he's managed to behave himself, his owners, Hell's royal family, seem more than happy to allow it again.  As long as he continues not to cause havoc in the palace, be it accidentally poisoning monkeys, or insulting Lucifer's sister, or … Well, he's been good little incubus. He'll be leaving it at that. 

Santa Barbara's fun. He likes the bars. He particularly likes how easy it is to pick up a spot of dinner. Tonight it's a cute young male bartender. Dark hair, dark eyes, and a still a virgin, which is impressive in itself, and happens to be of Phoenix's favourite flavours. He's been flirting with the guy all night, but rather than endure all that ridiculous - "Oh wait, I'm going that way too, let me walk you home…" chat-up nonsense, he opts for the pleasure of stalking him home once the bar's closed up. 

He's doing just that thing, when he realises he can sense another supernatural being nearby. Somewhere. It's not a fucking angel that's for sure and if it thinks it's going to be sharing his supper… it's very much mistaken.

[[ooc: I thought I'd play this as - Phoenix already knows nondemon!Shawn. It's part of his RP canon, and he sees Shawn as a 'pet'. Phoenix is also quite possessive over Santa Barbara's favourite piece of tail. XD I know your demon guy interacts with dial_a_psychic a fair amount. Hope that fits in okay with you?]]

Phoenix has never suffered from a hangover. The highly efficient metabolism of an immortal body means that the effects of alcohol simply wear off after an hour or so. Once he’s escorted Addie back to her rooms, he gates back to his own, and takes a shower.

Once refreshed and a little more alert, he dresses again and gates to the palace, standing for a while in the shadows, out of sight of the still-departing guests, watching people just for the sake of doing so. He then disappears and re-manifests on one of the balconies, wherein lie Drake’s rooms. The tall window is open; Phoenix taps at the glass and waits to be called in.
