Trailing

[ozwolf]

So, tracking the girl isn't going that well. She was picked up by a blonde, and as far as I can tell, taken back to Wolfram and Hart. I didn't go waltzing into enemy territory alone to be positive, though. I'm stealthy, but I figure they have measures against that, especially since they seem to know that I'm around. I hit Lorne's again, and will

Comments

[_faith_]

"I like you with all your organs intact," I say without thinkin' about it. Whoops, that sounded kinda suggestive, didn't it? In the past I would've said it deliberately intendin' to be, but I really didn't this time. I bite back a smirk. "Yeah, flat-out askin' won't work. We'll have to come up with some other way."

[ozwolf]

I give her the hint of a smirk at her first comment. "My organs are fine." I say. Then back to serious. "...I wonder if you wouldn't come with me to Caritas."

[_faith_]

No smart cracks, Faith. I'd kinda like to find that out for myself at some point, but I decide not to mention it. This prob'ly isn't the time.

"To Caritas? How come?"

I can't say I'm keen on it. I went before and sang for Lorne, and I didn't like how it made me feel. Vulnerable. Laid bare.

[ozwolf]

I just look at her. I don't really have to answer that. She can figure that out on her own, I have no doubts about her intelligence.

"I don't want to," I mumble, leanin' my forehead on his shoulder. I know I'm probably not gonna be able to get out of it, but I can dream, can't I? I sigh. "You really think it's gonna help anything?"

[ozwolf]

I slide my arm around her waist. "I wouldn't ask if I didn't think so." I say softly. It's not like I think she'd hop at the idea. I knew she wouldn't like it. "I can go with you."

[_faith_]

I dunno if that's better or worse. I move my hands from his waist to slide my arms around him, gettin' closer. "Yeah. I just--." I'm afraid of what Lorne might read from me. And if it's something bad, you might... I sigh again.

[ozwolf]

"It's kind of invasive." I say. "I'm not going to make you. I just think you should." I keep my tone soft, and I rub her back soothingly. "I think it would help." I smile just a little. "Could always make Angel sing...but from what I hear people would rather have their eardrums carved out."

[_faith_]

I chuckle and raise my head to look at him. "Yeah, I've heard that, too."

I already know I'll more than likely do what he wants. He has this way of gettin' me to do stuff I don't really want to do. "I guess I'll do it," I say, tryin' to make my voice sound less reluctant than it is.

[ozwolf]

"Thank you." I say. Then, with my free hand, I reach up, slide my hand around to the back of her neck, and pull her in for a kiss. She deserves one. And maybe not everything I do is for her benefit, and she might want to know that.
