Wes and Lilah stood in my office, Wes looking just as uncomfortable as I was, if not more, and Lilah looking casual, even if not perfectly at ease. Meanwhile, the tension in the air could possibly be cut with a knife. Assuming we wanted to test that theory, that is.
"How are you?"
"I'm... fine," I said slowly, answering Wes. "As fine as I can be." I know I don't look fine, but then again, neither does Wes, no matter what he says.
"So, now that we got that out of the way... Here we are. We're reporting for duty, boss. I hear that some clan talks are on the agenda. Wesley here could be an asset, his extensive knowledge of demon customs and his affinity with languages would be well..useful. Wouldn't you agree Angel?"
"Yeah," I said. "I... we could use that." I trailed off, unsure where to take this next. There was always business to take care of, to talk about, but... I shook my head imperceptibly. "Do you think you can handle that, Wes?"
I glanced at Lilah, wondering exactly what she was going to do around here, in addition to helping Wesley get back to a state of sanity, or as near as he could these days. So many things had happened, driving him further away, and I wasn't sure if Wes would ever be the same again; hell, if any of us ever would. We had all changed so much in so little time... and there was nowhere to go back to anymore.
