NPC Chinese Restaurant

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After leaving Callisto's room, Angel and Callisto enjoyed a quiet walk through town as they went to the restaurant.

Well... possibly Callisto enjoyed the quiet. Angel did his best to remember the various conversational topics that were okay to bring up over dinner and hoped he wasn't doing anything stupid with his hands.

The restaurant greeted them with a rush of light and heat as the door opened. They went inside to get a table.

Logan nodded. "Good idea," he said. "So, what was it like working for Angel?"

Cordy fiddled with the menu nervously, suddenly realizing that she on what could possibly be construed as a date. And she felt nervous, and maybe a little guilty. With a shake of her head, Cordy said, "He's great, really. Mostly. Protective. Sometimes too protective. Understanding, sympathetic. It was good times, if you take out the terrible things we witnessed everyday."

"Yeah, he's got a bit of a hero complex, doesn't he," Logan said.

"Yeah, I think he probably does," she said, smiling.

"But let's not talk about Angel anymore."

"So why'd you come here?" Logan asked.

Cordelia frowned for a split-second. "I didn't like the way things were going. It was a little too much to handle, and things were pretty bad, at the end..."

She paused for a moment and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. "So I went to a sorcerer. Asked him if he could do something so I could make a difference, change...what happened. He was pretty vague, but was happy enough to take my money. The Angel in my dimension is probably pissed with me," she said. "I didn't really think about that. He lost two people, I just lost one," she said, trailing off.

"I'm sorry," Logan said quietly. He put his hand over hers and gave it a light squeeze.

Cordelia looked up into Logan's eyes and looked honestly grateful. This was actually kind of nice.

"Thank you," she said simply. "How about you? Why are you here?"

"I had a bad couple of years back home," Logan said. "Thought maybe a change of scenery would help." He shrugged. "It's been different, that's for sure."

Cordelia flipped over the hand that Logan was holding so she could give his hand a squeeze in return. "Sounds like we're here for similar reasons, at least," she said quietly.

"But I don't think it's ever easy. Knowing Angel did teach me that much."

"Yeah," he said. "Nothing's ever easy." He picked up a menu. "Let's order our food and then we can talk about the really depressing stuff some more. Or, option b, I can scare you with tales of gremlins." He smiled at her.
