Continued from HereI peered out the window, my bat-- my hands curling up in my lap as I watched the whole of the outside setting light up completely for a few seconds before dying back down to thick blackness of heavy nighttime rain. "Weird storm," I said with a slight shiver. Outside, I knew it was almost be electrical, if not... just really wet.

"Thanks," I said, letting him take the felt bag of circle-stones and candles. I glanced outside at the swirling clouds, lightning snaking it's way through, frequent and deadly. I wondered if the feel of magic would get more potent if we go near the swirls. I stopped to consider the options, biting my lip in the silence as I mentally toyed with the ideas. Warehouses, closer, would help an awful lot more than doing it from somewhere frther away... but the magics in the are could make the spell more dangerous. Still... "Warehouses it is!" I said cheerily, even as thunder continually thrummed above us.

I walked over to the weapons, and with the magic items I had on one hand, I picked up the crossbow carefully with the other. I liked these things, and I could probably whip up something magical if the nasty turned for the worse. It was almost exhilerating, to be in this position - I wasn't sidekick girl right now, and Wes was here, and he trusted me to do my thing like I trusted him to do his. It was... kinda awesome, actually. It was fun to play 'hero'.

"You ready?" I asked, turning back to him, windcheater making a shuffling sound with every motion I made. "Lead the way."

Taking over some of her load, I shifted it in my arms. I could almost hear the radars working as she tried to figure out the best location for this. I had my opinion, but I wasn't as good when it came to magic as she was. Even if Mister Giles keeps cautioning her. What she needs is guidance, not a warning finger. I've no idea why Giles isn't doing that instead.

I'd offer it, since I do know a lot about meditation, magic and how to keep it in check. But I'm sure Willow isn't waiting for me to offer as such. Giles showing her more trust and confidence in her ability might actually do her a lot of good also.

And the warehouse it is.

"I'm ready when you are," I stated, shifting the things in my arm a bit. I turned around toward the door and blinked at Willow standing there crossbow at the ready, stating for me to lead the way. "Errr...obviously you are. Ready...I mean." Clearing my throat, I bent down carefully to pick up my own weapons, I elbowed the door open and then closed again after she went through.

"Er,if you could lock the door please?"

Should I have taken my cane? Naw, it would only get in the way. Besides. There's no Cordy or Gunn or Angel to scold me for not using it.

I miss RPing with you. I hate exams. I also suck. Hi.

I grinned. "Ready as a beaver," I said, following him out the door and locking it behind me as instructed. The coat had deep pockets, and safely dry inside them was a bag of herbs and a few other things, like crystals and anything I could find that would make a decent circle that would actually work in this environment.

A slight thrill went through me, and it may have been the energy electrifying the air, but I felt anticipation for the spell. I liked that power, power I could only touch every so often, power that let me be more than reliable Willow Rosenberg.

Outside, rain water was flooding the gutters and puddles became mini-pools. Stepping outside, I could instantly feel my feet become cold and wet as it seeped into my trainers. I flung the hood of the jacket over my head so that I could retain a little more dryness than I was, and glanced at Wesley, who I only just noticed hadn't took his cane. I reached out to grab his arm as if to steady myself, but I was actually making sure he didn't slip in the rain and puddles.

"Taking the car?" I said, having to raise my voice a little over the drumroll of thunder above us. "Or we can swim, whatever, ya know."
