Bella is hanging out in a Jarvis - the familiar one - handwriting a nonaggression proposal-slash-bribe. Has to be handwritten. Damn fussy demons. At least it's okay for her to conjure rather than personally harvesting the weird ink she's supposed to use.

"Yes," says Sherlock, "that was already reasonably clear from the chanting and so forth."
Bath Lady and her scraggly minions returned to her luxurious apartment, where she is now lounging on a couch while her minions bring her food and fashion magazines.

"Or maybe she's not in a hurry. Or maybe she would rather have her demon friends do all the looking."
Meanwhile, Bath Lady's minions are bringing her a human, who seems generally confused about where he is and what he is doing there.
"For me?" she exclaims, clasping her hands together. "Oh, Minion, I could just kiss your yucky face!"

Bella stiffens. She turns invisible, and she teleports to Bath Lady.
Bath Lady is just in the process of releasing the human, who staggers back looking even more confused than he was a minute ago.
"Clean that up," she commands, waving her hand dismissively at him. The minions rush to obey, taking the man's arms and steering him out of the room while he wobbles and moans. She sits down on her couch with a pleased little sigh and goes back to her fashion magazines.

[What happened to him?] Bella asks Bath Lady casually, not letting on that she's in the room.

[The guy whose head you just put your hands through. What happened to him?] Bella clarifies.

[Bath Lady is up to something I don't like. Trying to figure out what it is.]

[She isn't very chatty. Not sure where to take it from here; I don't know what all she can do.]
Usually this would be the part where she invited him to help, but he's probably comforting Soph or something.
