Felicia could feel Ruby twitching and writhing in her arms, and she glared back down at her friend. "Yes, Ruby. I should have just let you sit to burn on holy ground. That clearly was the wise tactical decision."
They had just arrived back in Seattle from the shit fest that was their last battle, and Felicia put Ruby down gently on the couch, before finally letting herself give out and her own pain hit her. She sunk down past the edge of the couch, burying her face in her knees as she tried to get the shaking and twitching to stop. Holy ground wasn't fun for any demon, regardless of their level, and that was something that she never, ever wanted to go through again. She brought her arms up over her head and did her best to try and pull herself together.

"Don't." She didn't even look up at the demon above her just held up a finger to stop her. "I'd do it again in a heart beat. You know it, and you'd do it for me. And don't tell me that after the beating Stolas put you through that you were in any shape to get out of there yourself."
She heard the wince of pain above her, felt the body shift and Felicia sighed. "That wasn't the plan, was it? When you first signed on, they didn't tell you that they were going to kill you when it was over, did they?"
"Later," Ruby sighed, the pain still evident in her voice. "Where the hell is Lindsey anyway?"
