Questions
Willow left the office and that left me with a head full of thoughts. If someone were to walk in on me right now there's no doubt a discussion would be brought up on how much I was brooding, how solemn my face looked, or the shape of my brow. They always did that no matter what happened to be on my mind, but now dammit I had a very good reason to look the way I know I did. Not only was there one person back in my life that I never expected to see again, but now there were two more to add to that list. One of which I killed and the other died partly because of me. At least this was the way I always saw both situations.
What was I supposed to do or how was I supposed to act if I somehow ran into either one of them? Well, if Doyle happened to come back to the office I'd lock him in my office so he couldn't leave again, make him explain why he left in the first place, and then tell him how glad I was that he was back. He had been my first friend - and annoyance - here in the city. He'd gotten me to get up off my ass after leaving Sunnydale and doing something worth doing with my life rather than sulk over leaving Buffy the entire time.
Then there was Ms. Calendar. Did she hate me? I know that I would.. sometimes do. Seeing her again.. I have no idea how I would act or what I would say except that I knew there would be plenty of stares and meaningless 'I'm sorry' comments.
All that aside, now I was supposed to figure out how in the hell Lorne turned human - or if the person walking around claiming to be Lorne was really.. well, Lorne. What had they called me? A dog? Rolling my eyes at the thought, I knew what they had meant by the whole 'sniffing Lorne' comment. I liked to think of it as sensing someone's aura. That's right, sensing not sniffing.
Speaking of Wesley and the children, I wonder what happened to Wes when he went to play referee between Fred and Lilah. Also, how Cordelia was faring with Alicia and Marilee to watch while Wesley broke up what sounded like a soon to be or nearly begun fight.
Then there was Lorne and the client of his who turned him human. A part of me wanted to find out who the client was and pay him a visit, but then again I'd already taken that road once before and look where it had gotten me - right back where I was. I was a pastey-looking guy who brooded thought way too much with a blood habit.
Sighing needlessly I stood from the chair and walked out of the office, shutting the door behind me. I needed to find Lorne and then meet back up with Wesley and Cordelia to figure this all out.
