"Hey, you're Tina, right? Hi, I'm Willow – Buffy's friend. Is Angel around? I don't care if he's asleep or not."
"Yeah – I think he's training downstairs actually – he's been up for an hour or so now."
"Damn – I wanted to wake him up for this! Life can be so unfair sometimes."
"Erm. Yes, I s'pose so. What did you want to talk to him about?"
"Buffy, mostly, but I also wanted to thank him for talking to my boyfriend for me – Oz is a werewolf and Angel helped him through something. He … well, he was going to leave to protect me from himself (sort of how Angel left Buffy) but the resident vampire stopped him. Well, not exactly stopped, but talked to him a bit. I'm rambling aren't I …"
She trailed off, seeing the confusion on Tina's face. Clearly there was an information overload, and after all, it wasn't likely that Tina had ever heard of willow, le alone been subjected to a ramble, willow style.
"It's not that … it's just … I'm surprised they're capable of having a conversation – neither of them are exactly the most talkative of people, are they!"
"I think they have their own special 'stoic creature of the night' language. They can do a ten minute convo in no more than three words – still working out the holes in that one." They both laughed, and then willow remembered why she was here in the first place, and left Tina to her paperwork and headed downstairs to meet Angel.
And so that Angel could meet his doom.
Well, not really, but Willow was pretty upset with him, and her best friend's welfare was at stake here …
For anyone who hasn't read my profile, I thought I had better make it clear that this story is not by any means abandonned!! I have exams coming up, so although I wanted to get this one done before today (HAPPY EASTER) and to let you all know that I will carry one and finish this thing after 8th June, which is my Physics exam - the last one. Then I go back to school like normal ...
