How I loathe this place, I cannot even begin to describe this feeling I get when I stand in this room with these brightly coloured walls and these wooden floors. I look out the window and all I see are millions of strange lights, and tall buildings. It is strange to me how these... humans, could have created such vast structures and objects and

Luckily for me, I had quite the entourage, so protection wasn't really an issue. Or was it? The one thing that had secretly bothered me about this, was the fact that Landok was purposely shielding his aura from me. It's like he was hiding something. Like there was something he didn't want me to know. I had to be wary of him.
As he followed Groo down the lobby stairs, I took a deep breath to try and relax myself. Being in his presence was unsettling enough as it is.
"Well 'cus," I said with a conceding sigh, "Looks like I'm going home."

I walked over him, huge fake grin on my face, and threw my arm around his shoulder, "Lanny, listen," I told him, conversationally, "Can I call ya Lanny? Of course I can, because we're practically family. See, me 'n Lorne, we're like this--" I crossed my fingers, "And i'll be damned if golly, his family isn't my family too."
I could tell he was about to hurl his guts out. "Anyhow, 'cous," I blabbered on, uncaring of the huge scowl on Landok's face, yet completely amused by the gigantic smirk on Lorne's, "I am going to be just so gosh darned tickled pink to meet all you crazy Deathwoks. And Oh! Me and the girls'll just have a blast, you know, gossiping about how absolutely hot Pylean ( ... )

After she had gone upstairs, I turned to Landok. "We have contacted Wesley, our leader, and he will be joining us," I told him. "He will arrive shortly after he is finished his business elsewhere. Then, I suppose we will prepare ourselves to leave."

I didn't dare tell him there was something about this that I didn't like...well ok I did tell him that, but I didn't dare tell him how much of it I didn't like. Of course I could only keep my mouth shut for so long then I saw Lorne's cousin and even more than ever this didn't feel right. I finally walked over to him and gave him a piece of my mind.
"I don't trust you, I don't think what you have said is the outright truth, but I can't prove it and Angel seems to hold his trust in you so I won't stand in the way of this, but if Angel doesn't come back in one piece as well as everyone else, I will end you." I said firmly and angrily.

"Willow, it's okay. I think he got your point." I told her.
Then I looked at Landok. "Don't take her lightly, though. I trust you, but she has the power to end your world. I wouldn't get her mad."

I forced a quick smile. "I am sorry that you feel this way," I said to her, "I did not come here to harm you. I have only come to gather my cousin to perform a sacred duty."
I decided to veer the conversation in another direction. "It is best you all prepare to leave," I said, "For I am sure we will depart soon."

"Take care of Angel for me ok...and each other." I said to the two. "I would hate to have to come in there and rescue you." I smiled letting them know I was giving them a hard time. I couldn't believe I was actually starting to feel better.

"Alright, compadres," I said, clasing my hands together, albeit anxiously, both eyebrows raised in an expression of complete and total apprehension. (Can you blame me for being so nervous? I mean, honestly. I'm going straight to Hell. Well, not literally, but it runs a close second.) "I guess we just need to wait for Wesley and we're good to go."
I sighed and slumped my shoulders. "Let's get this over and done with," I muttered, my voice low.

Looking probably more enthusiastic than I should have, I bounded down the stairs and met up with the rest of them, and no, Wesley had not arrived. I made a frown as I scrunched up my nose. "I guess not," I answered my own question.
Lorne was giving me an exasperated look, the one that normally accompanied a sigh and the feeling he was about to tell me that I really needed to tone down the enthusiasm a notch. Funny, coming from him, but I could understand him not exactly being enthusiastic about this. But hey, if I get in a good asskicking out of this, I'm one happy girl.
