London ~1830

Oh my God, Cordy is so living in a dreamworld. She's got it all set in her mind that Angel and Giles and whoever else are going to come sweeping in at any moment and rescue us. I mean, yes, it's totally great that she thought of sending the letter, and if it got to them then I don't have to keep worrying about Dawnie freaking out that we're dead or

Eww - I must have been crazy. Or desperate.

I'm going with crazy.

I push Torg away and decide that the vengenance demon approach is probably the best, given the circumstances.

"Look, Torg. This is all very nice and cosy, but we're in a bit of a hurry here - you know, places to go, wishes to grant, people to flay and all. Thing is, I'm in a bit of a bind here," I nod to Buffy, hoping she'll play along. "Bound by the power of the Wish, you know how it goes. She's the latest customer and you know what they say - the customer's always right," I laugh, trying to sound like I mean it. "Anyway, any information you might have to help her out would really, well, help me and I could, well, move on, which would be good, if you get my meaning."

I hope that was vague enough to be realistic, but I'm not sure going by the look on his face.

Now throwing is something that I can do. I am well versed in throwing random objects at demons from a safe distance. I reach down and pick up a lump of rock, throwing and hitting a well aimed blow to the demon's head.

"Do you think we can beat it into submission like this. Because if we are not going to get the information we want out of it, we're wasting valuable time which I could better spend with Charles," I point out between throws.

"I'm thinking we knock it out and look for the Orb thingy," I say, raising my voice to be heard over the monster's pissed off roars. I toss another block and it bounces off the demon's thick skull with an audible clunk, which only shuts it up for a few seconds.

"Or maybe," I ammend, seeing as it doesn't seem to be all that easy to knock unconscious, "You could look around while I keep it occupied?" At least I seem to have an unending supply of building materials to lob at it.

"Right, look for the Orb, yes," I say, casting my eye about to see if I can catch sight of anything even vaguely orb-y in this half light. Not that Turg ever actually said this guy would have it but...

My eye is caught by a white object lying just behind where our demon was pinned to the ground. It looked round, but there was no way I was going to attempt to get past this flayling demon to grab it.

"Buffy - there!" I shout. She's the Slayer - let her risk her life for a pebble.
