Helping the helpless. It was what I did, be it in Los Angeles or Sunnydale, or anywhere else for that matter. Granted, Sunnydale already had a champion in Buffy, but even someone as experienced as the Slayer could use a hand from time to time -- especially when the place in question was a potential gateway for evil.

"No. I was just .. worried, I guess. You know, because you weren't here earlier .. and it was getting late. But here you are now. No need for me to worry."

Did whatever Angel killed give him a sharp blow to the head before he did it in? He should be well rested and coherent by now. Instead, my big hero is stumbling over a simple explanation. He's not a people person. I knew that from the beginning, and I might not get it, but I'm used to it. However, I don't consider myself 'people'. I'm Cordelia Chase of Angel Investigations, and it wouldn't hurt my boss to work on communicating with me a little. Currently, he's sucking at it. Although that figures, he is a vampire.

"I'll just let you get back to whatever it was you were doing."

"Reading? Yeah, right. I was just killing time until you woke up and I couldn't find the magazines."

I threw the book on the floor and sat up, looking over at Angel as he was about to leave. He was moving slower than usual, and maybe it was lighting but, when he walked in, he seemed a little paler.

Maybe him saying that he was worried was only an excuse because he didn't want to admit that he needed someone to talk to. That would be a very Angel thing for him to do.

"Will you stop running away from me for a minute? I know you're not going anywhere, you made your injured face, and that means you could use some patching up. Now march over to that bed and lay down...or something. I'll go get the first aid kit, and then you can tell me what's bothering you."
