Going Home

[queencor]

Okay, got myself fixed, hooray hooray. (I am ignoring any and all memories of what my other half did when I wasn't there. Save for one thing.) Andrew is aparently going to be joining me in L.A. after, and I quote, 'settling his affairs'. Whatever. Like he's got affairs to settle. But he can have a bit to get his stuff together, I'll go back to

I shrug. "Well, at least you were the half that got to go to the spa," I joke. "But I'm not sure we need someone on the team who would pull that sort of thing. Do we? I mean, can the guy actually fight?" I'm not liking the sound of Cordy getting all wrapped up in some other guy...again. Okay, that's unfair, she has her own life to live. But it's the good of the team I'm talking about.

[queencor]

I shrug. "He thought he was doing a good deed, actually. Knew I wasn't a demon when we were in high school, and thought I was posessed or something. I don't know." I set my coffee down. "Fight? Not really, but he knows a lot about demon stuff..obviously he'd have to know something if he managed to seperate me, and put me back, and spot it in the first place. Anyways, I figured we always could use help somewhere along the line, why not?"

[vampdetective]

Someone she was in high school with? Great. "So what, was he your hot date to the prom? Oh wait, no that was Wes, I was there for that." I eye her, wondering what exactly her interest in the guy is. And what demon Cordy did while she was spending all that time with this Andrew guy.

"Alright, I guess knowledge of demons is useful," I say warily, trying to be reasonable. "I mean, Wes is kind of an expert too, but I'm sure he could use the help."

I just know this is going to turn into something where I have to get her love potions or something again.

I don't answer, I just stare at him. I cross my arms over my chest, and keep staring. It's a level, solid Look.

[vampdetective]

"What?" I ask, spreading my arms innocently. "Didn't I just say your little friend could join the team? That demon knowledge was useful? Why am I getting the look?"

[queencor]

"You sound like..." I shake my head, rolling my eyes and pushing off the counter, to toss my cup. "You sound like you're jealous." I say. Which is absolutely hilarious in light of it being Andrew, and...slightly weird.

[vampdetective]

"Me jealous? Nah," I say, trying to force a note of chipper into my voice. "It's just you don't usually try to bring anyone into the team, and--I was just wondering why you'd decide to do that all of a sudden. But the demon thing, that's good, useful. I'm sure it'll work out great."

I take too large a gulp of coffee and it ends up dribbling down my shirt. Good thing I'm wearing black. I blot at it absently.

[queencor]

I note the dribbling, and grab a napkin from next to the coffee maker, tossing it over the counter at him as I lean on the other side. "Dexterity on the fritz?" I ask, but don't give him time to answer. "And no, usually I don't bring new people in. But this one could be good. Or possibly just really funny. Take your pick." I say, shrugging. "If you don't want him to stay here, I could always have him stay at my apartment....."

[vampdetective]

Funny? Okay, that sounds a little less like she wants to bring her personal boy toy here. But her next suggestion has me crushing the styrofoam cup a little, and it starts to leak onto the floor.

"NO! No, no, there's plenty of room here, and besides Phantom Dennis might not take to him, you know how he is about strangers..." I take the napkin she tossed and lean over to clean up the small puddle of coffee at my feet. "Just a little spasm there," I say, taking the cup into the bathroom to empty it. I return and toss the empty cup in the waste basket.

[queencor]

"Or you're just a huge spaz." I say, finding this funny. I decide to do a little fishing. I push myself up to sit on the countertop. "Oh I don't know, Phantom Dennis might like this one. I mean really, you should see him. He's...oh there aren't words..." I say, playing up the dramatics. There aren't words alright. Oh wait, I do know a few. 'Spazzy Geek Boy'. Perfect.

[vampdetective]

I glower at her, ignoring her comments about the guy's looks. "Well, not many people really take to having a live-in ghost around, did you think of that? You wouldn't want to scare him away, now, would you?" Alright, she's gotta be doing this just to bug me...doesn't she?

[queencor]

"You may be right." I say. "I wouldn't want to scare him off. Though you really make a good point. For anyone to be with me they'd really have to be able to deal with Phantom Dennis. I'm so never giving up that apartment. It's perfect. Besides, I like having him around." I shrug. "Guess he'll just have to say here."
