Once we were outside the confines of the library I got a greater scope on just how bad this situation really was. It wasn't just the girls inside Sunnydale High School it was the entire population of females in Sunnydale which was now proving to be quite a task getting him somewhere safe. After dodging a few dozen of them through the cemetery and a few branches that had snapped back in Xander's direction we were alone. I leaned my back up against the cold stone of the last crypt on our way out, listening and watching Xander carefully. He was just a kid and he made a dumb mistake and even I'd done that when I was mortal, hell I made a lot of mistakes along the way even when I wasn't mortal.

"We're going to figure this out." I offered up as I moved away from the crypt and he scrambled up beside me like a nervous chicken in a barnyard filled with foxes. I had to smirk at that because it kind of served him right, at least we all knew he wasn't going to mess around with magic any time soon. As we strolled along the dark brush and out of the harsh light of the street lamps I just had to ask. "What did you do? Who did it? Most importantly please tell me you didn't do this for Cordelia Chase." I glanced at him and he had an expression on his face that was one of confusion and not wanting to tell me that it was for Cordelia Chase. I realized I just stuck him in an uncomfortable place and I wasn't planning on doing that.

"Uh look, I have done some stupid things along the way for women so I can understand if you did do this for her." I said a little more gently as we ducked behind the hedges of a nearby house, a group of girls frantically calling out for him in hysterical voices. Poor guy looked like he was going to wet himself right then and there, I felt for him despite his stupidity. "If she doesn't come around then that is her loss, you know? You seem like a good kid- or guy, she doesn't know what she's missing. However the entire female population want into your pants right now, including Faith, must feel good in some messed up kinda way." I smirked at him as he thought about that and I pulled him from behind the hedge and we continued along until we reached his place.

"I'm not sure if you're going to be safe here, I'm coming with you to scope out the situation." I followed him down the cement steps and into the little dungeon he called home, not too bad I've seen worse crypts. Right, he's not dead and he shouldn't sleep somewhere this dark and dank for a human right? I mean Faith's room was above ground and light, of course she was safely tucked in a cage right now. She'd forgive me when this was over. I looked around and then at him, he still looked overly anxious.

"I'll stay for a bit." I reassured him and continued inspecting and blocking up windows with anything I could find.
