Watching idiots slip and slide

[archangelet]

Anyone who knows why Romanageddon went down last night will probably know why there's a very young angel with her wings out standing in the basement lobby. She's actually staring at the blood stains that Donna hasn't had a chance to steam clean out yet, looking... not exactly pleased or comfortable with this whole situation

Tay's lucky she got here when she did, because Vincent was almost on his way out, considering it would be in his own best interests if he laid low for a little while. Granted, that means that he won't be there to throw himself on top of Romana when she wakes up, but he only does this hero thing when it means keeping his boss from going off the deep end and after that it's time to hide for a little while. Captains who break their general's arms (even if it was for great justice) don't tend to earn much in the way of respect.

He steps into the lobby and freezes when he sees Tay. He'll get around to words in a minute. Right now he's just going to stare, because all the words he needs to say are sort of failing him at this point.

Tay looks up from the carpet and glances around, her gaze almost immediately landing on Vincent.

She stares back at him for a moment, uncertain as to how she should respond, considering.... well, everything. But then she waves, hesitantly, pulling her wings closer in to her body, a variation on wrapping her arms around herself tightly.

This? Is incredibly awkward. Mostly because she feels rather responsible for the whole mess.

Well, Vincent's not going to let the situation get any more awkward. Tay is one of those girls he can't bear to see hurt. Sure, things went to hell, but it's not her fault and he refuses to let her think that.

So he bridges the gap between them and hugs her as best as he can, because it's very hard to hug an angel with their wings out. Oh yes, as tough as he is, Vincent's secretly just a big teddy bear.

"Damn glad to see you, kid," he says, voice a little husky. He was worried about her. Neqa'el ward and now this? It's almost too much.

Tay's not really a huggy cuddly person. However... sometimes there are moments when she's just a sixteen-year-old girl who really needs a hug. So her wings go back, as out of the way as possible, and she clings. Very very tightly.

"Yeah," she says. "Good to see you, too."
