After settling Cordelia up on the couch with enough pillows to smother a football team, a glass of ice water, migraine medicine, and something to read, I went upstairs to get our rooms ready. She hadn't asked me to do that for her, but I figured if she was hurting, then she probably wouldn't want to deal with finding a room and settling in. I picked the room across from the one I wanted because it had the same excellent view and terrace to use. I somehow, I really wasn't sure how, because her bags were so very heavy, but I did, and somehow managed to drag all seven of Cordy's bags up the stairs and to her room.
I'd found the few cleaning supplies Angel had in the mansion and set about cleaning up the cobwebs, dust, and anything else still yuck left in the room. After taking several cleaning breaks to re-fill Cordelia's glass and find her something new to read, I finally finished cleaning her room. I have to say, Cordelia does know how to pack for a trip. One of her bags was nothing but shoes, while another bag was bed linens and pillows. I made her bed, the sheets only a little too big for this mattress and then hung up all her clothes. Hanging up Cordelia's clothes was like hanging out with the Energizer Bunny: I never thought it would end. She had more clothes than...than...anyone ever!
But, once I finished her room, I quickly cleaned my room and put my few possessions away. I didn't have any sheets or blankets for my bed, but I'm sure when Angel got back from saving those joggers he'd tell me where to find the extras. Or...at least I hope he had extras. I was hoping he had extras..and if he didn't have extras, maybe he had a pillow and a blanket and when Wesley came to Sunnydale, he could bring some with him. I sighed as I finished putting my last shirt in a drawer and was about to sit down when Cordelia called for me again. I hurried downstairs to see Cordy shaking her glass at me for more water.
I made a face behind her and knew that if she could shake the ice in that glass that loud, her head wasn't hurting her that much anymore. I smiled sweetly and took her glass from her, but didn't go get her more water. "I want you to see something, Cordy. Come with me upstairs, ok?" I smiled and walked up half way and waited for her to follow.
