Conor was in a foul mood by the time he got back to the hotel that evening.
He was starving. Cordelia had forgotten to give him money for lunch, he had gotten a warning about his repeated lateness from the principle and he had an English essay on the imagery used in Shakespeare's Macbeth due tomorrow. His life sucked. He walked in the main entrance and dumped his bag by the door. No one was in the lobby. 'Hello? Where is everyone? I got detention that's why I'm late.' He headed into the kitchen behind the office. Sitting at his kitchen table was Caoimhe. 'What are you doing in my kitchen?' 'Eating my dinner.' 'Okay why are eating your dinner in my kitchen?' 'I live here now. I moved in this afternoon.' 'DAD, CORDELIA GET DOWN HERE!' Conor yelled. 'They all went out to kill a nest of vampires. They should be back soon.' She calmly continued to eat her pizza. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'What do you mean that she is moving in here?' Conor was mad they hadn't told him. 'Her mother died and so she's going to live with us. End of story.' Angel realised that it was hard on Conor having a new person move in but he was overreacting a little bit. 'What about the fact that you're a vampire and Cordelia is part demon won't she have a problem with that?' Caoimhe walked in from the kitchen where she had been eavesdropping on the conversation. 'I'm a Diograis demon so no it doesn't bother me living with other demons.' 'Do people in school know what you are?' 'No of course not. They just think I'm a particularly gorgeous cheerleader. On the subject of school you are not to even dare talk to me in the halls. I don't want people to know that we live together.' Angel slipped out of the lobby leaving them to argue over what they said in school. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He walked up to his room where Cordelia was lying on the bed. 'Are they still arguing?' she inquired. 'Yeah now over what they say in school. You know she reminds me of you when you were in high school.' Cordelia threw a pillow at him. 'Sorry sorry.' he apologised laughing. 'It must be a little weird for him though. She has been reporting every time he's been late this year.' 'Well at least now she can make sure that he gets to school on time and you can stay in bed with me.' 'We'll have to work out some house rules so that things don't descend into anarchy.' 'How about we do that later on and we have a little rest now?' 'I think I can be persuaded...' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Okay so we are agreed. In school we ignore one another but if you come in late I don't report you to the principle. If I bring friends over you be polite to them.' Caoimhe sat at the desk making out a contract. 'I'll pretend that I don't know you at school but if I want to be introduced to anyone in school you do it and you only say good things about me to people.' Conor bargained back. 'If I have a party you get to come but I get to veto any people you invite and it is my party not yours.' 'If I have to do weapons training you are responsible for making sure that your friends don't see or cop on that there is anything odd about this hotel.' 'Right let's sign this contract.' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Angel and Cordelia came downstairs and saw Caoimhe and Conor signing their contract. 'Right you two we have some house rules to stop things getting out of hand.' Cordelia made the announcement. She and Angel had drawn them up. They were pretty fair but she knew that if she was sixteen again they wouldn't seem fair to her. '1. No friends over without calling first and checking if all is clear. 2. Curfew is eleven o' clock unless you are accompanied by one of us. 3. No magic is to be used inside the hotel. 4. No fighting. 5. No taking weapons from the press without permission. 6. No talking to anyone from Wolfram and Hart. 7. You both must do all your homework before you go out in the evening.' 'You cannot be serious about that curfew!' Caoimhe exclaimed 'My mom used to let me stay out as late as I liked.' 'You guys used to let me go hunting at night. Why the sudden ban?' Conor joined in. 'Well now there's two of you and we have to keep you both safe and if we let you out you'll just end up in trouble.' Angel tried to justify his rule about the curfew. 'You guys are so unfair!' Caoimhe ran upstairs to her room. 'Ditto.' Yelled Conor as he followed her lead. This was going to be fun, Angel thought to himself. 'Caoimhe seems to be taking her mom's death pretty well, she doesn't even seem a little upset.' Cordelia was a little worried about her. 'She's been prepared for it since she was born. Every Diograis is.' Angel wrapped his arms around his seer. 'We didn't even get to tell them about the extra classes we signed them both up for!' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Conor stomach rumbled. He hadn't eaten yet today and he was hungry. Caoimhe had gotten him out of bed and into school for twenty past eight this morning. He had actually arrived in the school in time to hear the first bell and the morning announcements from the principle. He didn't like this new living arrangement at all. He started rooting in his bag for some change for the vending machines sand found a sandwich and an apple. She had made him lunch. Maybe this could work he thought biting into the sandwich. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
