((Jumping threads from hereI watched as Faith and Cordelia retreated up the steps, Faith helping Cordelia. They went up to one of the rooms, and I was glad to see that Cordy was able to walk okay, although Faith was guiding her by the elbow

Why can't he be like the vampire's I've learned about? The ones they mentioned at the academy, the ones I've been trained to kill all my life. No, instead he has to be understanding and kind and...Angel. I have no idea how to react to that kind of thing. Let alone from a vampire, who is supposed to be mean, and a killer and vicious and...everything Angel doesn't appear to be
Leaning my head against the cold window, I closed my eyes and sighed. I was quite relieved to have recognized the houses near Cordy's apartment. Which meant we were almost home. Where I can stumble into the house and die of embarrassment. So bloody tired, I think that spell drained more energy then I thought it would. Probably because I was still healing.
"What?" Opening my eyes, I turned to look at Angel tiredly, he still had that question in his eyes. Well, he already doesn't think much of my anyway, can't make it worse. "Smile," I mumbled, turning back and lean my forehead against the window again. I'll die off embarrassment now, thank you.

After a moment, I offered, "Um, thanks, I think..." I shrugged, and pulled to the curb outside of Cordelia's house, parking the car.
"Well, we're... here." I pointed out, as if he wouldn't have noticed that himself. Yeah, I was on a roll today... make some kind of connection with the man, maybe, then fall back to making stupid comments, which he would probably take as me insulting him with my luck.
I got out of the car, again waiting for Wesley to get out so I could lock the doors before we went inside. I really didn't want to end today by having my car stolen... knowing LA, I would never see it again. And as much as I hated to admit it, I liked this car... it was cool, not to mention, it was a convertible, to help me deal with the sun in the day, but still allow freedom at night.
No, definitely didn't want that stolen.

I looked up startled when I noticed Angel was already out of the car and waiting for me to do the same. Well done, Pryce. Annoy the vampire even more. You've already made him think you're an idiot with your stupid remark. You should do that more often, what the bloody hell was I thinking when I said that? I really ought to stop trying to make small talk.
Fumbling for the doorhandle, I open the door and stumble out. I cleared my throat and limped toward the door of Cordy's apartment. I had left the bag with medications in the car. He'd payed for them, he could keep them, I was not going to take those. I pushed my hands into my pockets and fumbled for the key Cordy had given me, only to have the door being thrown open by Dennis. He'd obviously been worried.
"Oh, uh. Thank-thank you, Dennis."

"Hey, Dennis," I said quietly. I smiled slightly, then sat down on the couch in a familiar gesture. I looked at the pills in the bag Wesley was still carrying, pointedly. He might not want me here, but I was going to make sure that he took the medicine that we'd gotten.
I spotted a chessboard out on the table, and realized that maybe Dennis had been waiting for company all day... kind of sad, really.
"So," I said, rising slightly, and coming over to Wesley. "You going to actually take any of those pills?" I could see a familiar look in his eyes, stubborn... he didn't look like he was just going to take the pills because I had paid everything for him... in fact, that was more likely to make him just ignore it. I knew how pride was that way... not to mention, I had tried helping people out before, with the same results.
But then, most of them hadn't had any reason to trust me, especially if I offered them medication after I had tortured them.

I narrowed my eyes and scowled into the air when Dennis waves a chess-piece around to indicate that he didn't mind and he actually agreed with whatever Angel did. Git. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it a conspiracy. Wait, I *don't* know any better. Maybe they are all plotting together and having their laugh at me.
Sighing, I moved over to the kitchen to make some tea, I'm dying for some tea. I looked up at Angel and then back at the small bag with medication. Was I going to take those pills? Of course not. "I'll take them later, before I go to bed," I told him, putting some reassurance in my voice. Anything to get him out of here. I just want have some tea, curl up and die in peace.

I pulled a chair out from the table as Wesley moved into the kitchen, and I watched him. As Wesley made the tea, the chess piece that Dennis had been playing with was in front of my face, bobbing wildly as Wesley told me he'd take them before bed.
"Just take one now," I called to Wesley. "The sooner you start taking them, the better." Not to mention, he looked like he really needed the sleep to begin with. Well, if he took them now, maybe he would sack out earlier.
Dennis kept the piece in front of my face, and finally I raised a handm touching the piece and gently pushing it away. Dennis waved it once more, before letting it drop. Yeah, fine, I'd make sure he took the medications. Otherwise, I could always tell Cordelia that he was refusing... see how well he handled Cordelia when she was determined about something.

Narrowing my eyes, I glanced over at the chess piece Dennis was waving in front of Angel's face. "Dennis, stop bothering Angel." With a sigh, I grab the kettle from the stove and pour the boiling water in the teapot. There's nothing like a nice cup of hot tea to make me feel better. With honey. Oh. "Thank you Dennis." I smile up into the air as a pot of honey floats by. He certainly seems to know me by now.
"I will take one when I go to bed," I insist, clenching my jaw. I which he would just go away so I can lay down somewhere and die in peace. While playing chess with Dennis apparently. I had promised him I'd play a game with him. "You need take them on a full stomach and I'm not hungry right now." Or ever since that night. "I'll have a little snack before bed and then take one." Not. "You should get back to the hotel."
