More fun than a barrel of damn monkeys.

"From experience with dealing with hell gods and dying in the process, it doesn't actually work. You can't win without a loop hole, I took on Glory with Spike's help and Willow working mojo and we barely put a dent in her armor."

Right. Because that was comforting. Nevertheless, Angel gave Buffy a wry smile as the others adjourned. Wes and Fred ( Read more... )

"I'm here to be on board. It's not like I have anything else to do. And that came out wrong."

I rolled my eyes at myself. Way to jumble the offer of help Buffy, good going.

I kind of laughed at his stake comment. "Last time I fought something blue I had to use a rocket launcher, got any of those laying around?" I joked, despite the fact it probably wasn't the best time to joke, but this was me. Inappropriateness is my middle name.

I looked towards the weapons cabinet, "tell me this isn't all you have? Not that it's not well divided but ..." Now insult him, I'm so on a roll.

"On board is good," I said. Then, I shook my head. "No, no rocket launchers..." I shuddered at the thought. If we'd had a rocket launcher just laying around when Jasmine had been unleashed... or even worse, when Angelus had...

"No, this isn't all we have," I replied, slightly insulted. "We have more downstairs... this is just the everyday stuff." Well, and the weapons we needed most often... the ones downstairs weren't everyday weapons.

"Besides," I added. "If you've faced one god-king, you've faced them all." I tried to stay deceptively bright; it was a realxing thing to at least be able to joke after everything lately. I knew we had more coming our way now, but... I hadn't joked in so long, it felt almost foreign to me. For so long, there had been nothing *to* joke about...

I couldn't hide my grin.

"Did you just make a joke? Wow, it's been a while since I've heard that, it's nice."

I bit my lip nervously, I was such a whimp, less than an hour ago I had my tongue down his throat and now I was getting nervous inside.

"Want to show me, or point me in the right direction?"

stoic_angel_ September 16 2004, 14:29:21 UTC

"Yeah." I said, and shut the weapons cabinet. "They're downstairs." I stepped away from the cabinet, then said, "Yeah, it's been a while since there was anything *to* joke about."

I paused, and looked back at her. She looked like the girl I had known that long ago, but... older. She had always had old eyes, but now... they seemed like they had seen way too much. And yeah, I supposed she had. After all, she was the Slayer.

"So are you still the Slayer with all the quips?" I asked.

Lorne and Cordelia reached the hotel in record time. They had made a pit stop, as promised, at a department store, so that Cordy wouldn't have to return home in a hospital gown. Lorne was fairly certain that she would have much preferred they stop at some little designer boutique, but time simply did not allow. He would make it up to her later on, when things were less urgent -- he had missed his shopping buddy to the point of heartache.

He looked over to Cordelia and smiled, giving her hand a tight squeeze as they stood on the front doorstep. "Ready?" he asked her. She nodded in reply and he let out a long breath of air, reaching out to open the door in front of them. Leading her inside, he brought her down the front steps and into an empty lobby.

"Hey, anyone home? I've got a surprise!" he called out, letting the door swing closed behind them.

(continued from reply above)

Axe in hand I walked up the stairs past Angel. This wasn't the time to get sentimental, plus, the nosiness of me.

I settled the axe on my shoulder and peeked out into the lobby. I saw a rather interestingly dressed green demon and ... Whoa. Cordelia. I couldn't help but smile.

All I needed was a sarcastic comment from Cordy and I'd feel right at home.

"And they told me you were in a coma, Men, all worried and over dramatic." I smiled.

"It's good to see you Cordelia." I looked to the green man. "Oh I'm Buffy by the way."

stoic_angel_ September 22 2004, 15:02:19 UTC

I followed Buffy up the steps, and paused when I saw Lorne and Cordelia standing on the steps in the lobby.

"Cordy?" I asked. "I thought... but..." I trailed off, and looked to Lorne and Cordelia for an explanation.

Lorne ignored the blonde girl for the time being, blithely smiling in Angel's general direction. "That's right, Angelcakes. Sleeping Beauty finally decided to wake up. Sorry I didn't tell you before, I got the call and headed straight over to the hospital. Thought it might be a nice surprise, though, bringing home our favorite perky love-muffin ( ... )
