"Well, not always. But it might be nice having a fresh start, yeah? That's what my life in L.A. has been and I think it's worked out pretty well."
Back home, Cordelia had her apartment, her job, the mission to do good. It may not have been the life she ever planned for but it was one that was better than she could have expected at least. And here? Well things were slowly improving in some ways, and she was willing to take the little, or not so little, things.
Relaxing some, she resolved to make the most of next few hours. She'd had little enjoyment since arriving at the mansion but this was good start. Swinging her legs some, she watched Doyle as he sat beside her. It was almost surreal in a way.
"Always love a fresh start. Nice sort of thing in this world of ours." As strange as it might be at first, he did want to get back to the real world as soon as he could.
"So, what do we do now? I know normally we'd be doing our research and getting the weapons ready. Seems like all we can do in this place is wait."
"Waiting is all we can do. At least until Angel gets here. I don't want to put anyone else in the house at risk, you know?"
Cordelia didn't really mind the lull in action though. Though Doyle hadn't experienced the lapse in time she certainly had. Avoiding collateral damage was an important part of figuring out her visions quickly. Keeping to themselves until the evening was probably the best idea anyhow.
"You know, if you don't have better company you'd rather be in," she teased.
"Yeah, waiting. Feel like I've been doing a lot of that lately." Doyle was waiting to get out of this place and go back to the real world.
"Oh, so I'm not good enough company for you to want to go out?" Doyle smirked. He knew that she was just teasing and he was about ready to tease back. "Guess we need to get Angel here fast."
"Oh yeah, he'd best be hurrying," she whispered slowly, in an almost flirty kind of way. "This is just unbearable!"
Besides maybe being back in their home dimension, the list of places she'd rather be was essentially nil. Her hand grasped for one of Doyle's and squeezed kindly just in case her friend had taken any of her teasing seriously.
