MCA Roof: Friday Night

[needsaparrot]

Not that he had a problem with guests or he wouldn't have asked them to stay in the first place, but sometimes you needed to just get out and clear your head, which was why Xander was up on the roof, staring out at the town.

After what Angelus had done to Willow, Claire and Veronica, asking Mel not to kill him had been.....he really didn't want

After doing what was probably a needless round of patrolling, Mel wandered over to see how one of her watchers was holding up. After getting a tested by the FDA

"Hey. Should you be up here by yourself?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander turned around and grinned. "Afraid I'll fall off?"

[cantjossme]

Mel shrugged and took a seat on the roof. "Well I can't get a hold of Dawn anywhere. Last thing I need is for another watcher to fall of the end of the earth. You all right?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander, who'd been leaning on the wall, sat down beside her. "Me? Fine. I'm more worried about Willow. Either of 'em - can't get through to mine, either."

[cantjossme]

Mel nodded. "Been a pretty sucky week for us all around hasn't it?"

[needsaparrot]

"Well, some of us kicked major undead ass," Xander replied with a proud smile.

[cantjossme]

Mel smirked a little at that. "Well it wasn't his ass that I actually kicked. It was actually on the other side."

[needsaparrot]

"...I love you. In non-inappropriate ways."

[cantjossme]

"Careful. Bridge might get jealous."

[needsaparrot]

"That's why I specified!"

[cantjossme]

"Point made," Mel said stretching slightly. "So have the doctor's said anything about Willow waking up soon?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander shook his head. "Not to me. Or around me. Or anyplace near any NPC nurse I could badger into talking to me."

[cantjossme]

Mel frowned. "Well at least no one else was hurt."

[needsaparrot]

For varying definitions of that, Xander thought, flashing to Veronica and Claire. He peered over the roof-wall for a bit, then looked up. "What about you. You okay with this?"

[cantjossme]

"I'd felt a lot better if he were dust than just standing in a jail cell," Mel said honestly. "But you guys know him or whatever he is better than I do. After everything that's happened I'm not sure if I can believe that anything can really change a person."

[needsaparrot]

"I...get that, yeah. I didn't use to think so either." Xander rested his arms on his knees, and his chin on his arms. "You know Faith, right? She changed."
