Magic/Support Reserves Meeting, The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon

May 19, 2010 12:57

Raven was just a little nervous to start the reserves meeting. She'd gotten more used to speaking up in class, but talking in front of a group of people who were all looking at her was a different story. A gentle nudge from Karla had been necessary to get her to step forward and begin to speak ( Read more... )

Tim filled up a plate with treats. He was a growing boy, after all.

Harper had finally caught on to the fact that the Support Services had moved to a different day. She helped herself to some treats and looked around to see who she knew and who she needed to meet.

Kennedy, per usual, had taken up her spot at the periphery, arms crossed and expression intent. Research wasn't her strong point or anywhere near her favorite part of the job, and she didn't get the fun prophetic Slayer dreams (as far as she knew), so this was pretty much a non-activity for her.

She was paying attention, though, and keeping an eye out for anyone who seemed to take to the job pretty well, as well as anyone who tended to lean toward Raven's pacifist approach. Had to know who not to try and drag along when fighting went down, after all, and who to go to when the geek stuff needed to get done.

She... might have been formulating ideas about streamlining the phone tree. Oh, God, that was practically organizational. Maybe she took after her dad a little more than she'd thought.

Raven hadn't had a chance to speak to Kennedy since the weekend, so she was pleased to see the other girl had shown up to the meeting. "Kennedy," she said as she approached her. "I wished to thank you for your aid."

If Kennedy's answering smile was a little awkward, it was just because it hit her all over again how weird it was to be helping out a demon.

"It's all good," she answered instead, shrugging-- but watching Raven carefully for any signs of lingering trauma. "What I do and all that. You're okay, right?"

"I am well enough," Raven said. She held up one hand and flexed her fingers. "He hurt my wrist when he was grabbing and pulling me, but it was easy enough to heal myself. I am sorry that he hurt you, however."

Kennedy gave her a quizzical look. "Whaaaaaat? I was totally fine. I mean, yeah, there was the tree, but pssht. I'm good."

Let her have her delusion, Raven. Or, you know, not.

Raven was confused for a moment, then realized Kennedy didn't remember being healed, and that her lack of injury was a source of pride for her. She liked that pride and didn't want to diminish it, so she merely nodded instead of correcting her. "That boy was Sebastian," she said instead. She moved her hand to her neck and rubbed the place she'd been bitten. "The one who...."

Kennedy's eyes went flat for a moment; she didn't finish the sentence out loud, but most likely she didn't need to.

"He's been taken care of?" she asked in clipped tones. She'd be pissed that she didn't get a chance to do it (because that would have worked so well, really), but hey, sticking to the important thing here.

Shame about that phrasing.

"He is...gone," Raven said quietly. "But I am certain he will return. This is the third time he has assaulted me. He believes I am his promised bride. He believes many strange things."

"So, not dust. And he could show up again." Kennedy gave her an exasperated look, but okay, okay, trying to be understanding here. Trying, if not entirely succeeding. "And you don't want me staking him why, exactly?"

Between this, and weird masked nerd guy's hangup about how she should probably be arresting vampires instead of staking them...

Seriously, people. Come on.

"I do not wish any violence committed on my behalf," Raven said, lifting her head to look at Kennedy. "But I do not seek to protect him. If he should return and you encounter him, you must do what you see fit so that he does not harm you or another."

"You know, you drive me nuts," Kennedy told her, running a hand through her hair, and was that actually almost affectionate? Maybe if you tilted your head at exactly that angle and squinted and... okay, yeah, it kind of was, and an empath should be able to tell there wasn't any real malice behind the words.

Re: Arrive and Mingle trigons_child May 20 2010, 01:06:11 UTC
"I do?" Raven said, sensing that lack of malice, but unsure what to make of it and her words. "I am...sorry?"

Kennedy burst out laughing-- only for a second, but she did. "It's cool. Really. I do it to other people all the time, so it's kinda fair, I guess."
