Better in the worst way

Sep 19, 2005 10:54

Avasa sat, legs crossed, on the floor of his living room, his wet hair dripping water down his neck and shoulder-blades, a small pool of water surrounding his lean and well-muscled frame. He stared off, looking at paintings on the wall opposite him, a sad smile on his face. Gradually he got to his feet and began towel drying his hair and then ( Read more... )

"I should say so," I reply, following Janice up the stairs, mentally reminding myself that I have to talk to Jordy as well.

"And in the spirit of friendship, can I ask you to do something for me?" I know I shouldn't ask, she's done enough already. And the parcel under one arm says that I'm bribing her in some way and maybe I am, but I can't exactly ask Dawn for this... not really.

"Sure," I say. I turn down the hall when we reach the top, digging into my pocket for my keys. "Here's my room." Duh, I guess it would be since I have the key to unlock it, I think with an internal eyeroll.

I wait patiently for Janice to let us in her room and set her bag down over to what I assume is her side of the room. There are a great deal of magic books over here, whereas the other side of the room has a really large sword hanging from the wall.

I raise my eyebrow, surprised, and set my own bags down on the floor near my feet. “I was wondering if you could keep an eye on Cassie for me? Just… check in on her?”

I nod. "Actually, I've been meaning to...she wasn't around all last week and I sorta got worried, because she'd been so sick from the plants. I just haven't gotten over there yet." I finally notice he's got some kind of package under his arm, and I wonder what it is. Something for Dawn, probably. "Thanks for carrying my backpack, that thing really weighs a ton."

"Now you have more reason to go," I realize Dawn didn't tell her where Cassie had been the last week and decide that's probably for the best.

"And that's fine, the gentleman in me decided it wasn't fair to let you carry it. Especially considering how heavy it is," I smile as her eyes tick curiously over to the bags. I pick one of them up and hand it to her, "Gifts."

Yes, plural. I did have more than one reason for going into the Magic Box earlier. Willow was very helpful picking it out. There are a few books and candles in there that would be of interest to a beginning witch. "For helping me."

I take the bag, surprised. "Wow...you totally didn't need to do that, I didn't do that much." I open the bag and look inside. Candles, very thoughtful, and I go through them pretty quickly these days. I pull the books out. One is a little more advanced basic witchcraft guide than what I'd bought, chapters on philosophy and celebrating the feast days and stuff. One is on...telekenesis? Whoa, never thought about moving stuff with my mind, but it could be an interesting read. The third seems to be a sort of potion cookbook type thing. "Wow!" I glance up at him, a little overwhelmed. "They look great!"

“I thought you might like it. Willow was very helpful,” I add with a laugh and then tilt my head to one side, the smile on my face turning to a grin.

“Dawn’s home.”

I hadn't heard anything, but he's got that extra radar going so it doesn't much surprise me. "Guess you'll be wanting to head over there, then. Thanks, really, Avasa, these look..." I sort of gesture in an excited way. "I'll check up on Cassie soon, make sure she's doing okay, promise."

avasa_edan September 19 2005, 07:21:29 UTC

"Thank you," I make it to the door and then click my fingers, remembering, "bag number two? It's got some things for Cassie, would you mind--?" I make a vague gesture, really hoping I don't have to finish the sentence.

_janice_ September 19 2005, 07:29:00 UTC

I smile. "Sure thing, I'll make sure she gets them," I say. "Have fun with Dawn!" I add teasingly as he opens the door.

avasa_edan September 19 2005, 07:52:25 UTC

"I will!" I say just as enthusiastically and then give her a wink. "Thanks again."

I'm standing outside the door and I give her another smile before giving a light knock to Dawn's door.
