Once she had calmed down, Doyle slowly tried to leave her embrace, but she immediately tightened her grip, saying, "No way Doyle! I'm not letting you out of my arms again! Last time I did that, you jumped onto that Beacon and died!"
This thought caused her to start crying again.
"Aw, come on Princess, stop crying. Please? I only wanna go say hi ta Angel, and ye new mates," Doyle said to her, rubbing her back soothingly.
At that, Cordelia slowly let him go - but only after Doyle gave her another smile, in a way that only Doyle can.
As Doyle started towards him, Angel forced himself to stop gaping and to close his mouth.
Doyle just walked up to him and warmly embraced him - an embrace, which surprised everyone in the fact that Angel, returned it just as warmly.
As Angel released him, Doyle said "I missed ye man! How's the brooding going?"
Angel smiled at him, remembering that Doyle had always been one of the very few people who could make him smile.
"Brooding's fine. I'm fine."
He did not reply that he had missed him as well, but he knew that Doyle would know that.
He was about to ask him how and why he was here, when he walked over to Gunn and Wesley.
"Hi. I'm Doyle. And you must be Wesley and Gunn." he said, shaking Wesley's hand first.
When he went to shake Gunn's hand, the handshake was considerably heartier.
"Good luck Gunn," he told him. "Good luck."
"With what?" Gunn replied, perplexed.
"Oh yeah, you don't know yet do you? Well, I wouldn't let the PTB send me down while my 'Delia was still in pain by having me visions - and I pointed out ta them that as she has nothing ta atone for, she shouldna have ta go through the pain. So congratulations! You are now the new owner of the head splitting visions!" Doyle told him, giving him a pat on the back.
Gunn went pale.
He just looked at Doyle in shock, and stammered, "Bu-but, but how? Cordy said that you had to ki- No, no, no, *no!* You are *not* kissing me! I don't ev-"
Doyle cut him off. "I'm not gonna kiss you Gunn. I don't have ta. 'Delia was the one who gave you the visions, 'coz she became the vessel when I died."
"What! But *I* never kissed *him*!! Not ev-"
Doyle cut off what he knew was the beginning of one of Cordelia's famous rants and said, "I know you didn't Princess. The PTB watched until you touched him. Don't you remember? Yesterday you and Gunn were arguing and you finished the argument by slapping him on the head. Actually, not unlike you used ta end arguments with me. That touch passed the powers on. They said summat about wanting ta tie Gunn ta Angel," he added.
This thought caused her to start crying again.
