Perk, Sunday evening

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow came into the Perk, leading Peter by the hand. "You're going to want tea. Trust me on this."

[ooc: Willow is here for Peter and one other person, but feel free to use for other evening Perky needs]

Peter shook his head and smiled at her. "That bad, hmm?"

"I'd like to think I know you pretty well by now," Willow replied, smugly. "Which means I know when you're going to want tea. Days that end in Y, for instance."

Peter chuckled at her, squeezing her hand. "So you're saying I'm predictable then?

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Constant," Willow replied, squeezing back. "So what would you like? My treat. Consider it a thank you for your heroic deeds on the fourth floor."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"My completely fictional deeds?" Peter replied. "Why were your squirrels telling tales last night?" He grinned at her. "Tea would be lovely, thank you."

"They weren't," Willow said, ordering them some tea to go. "They were just tired. Poor little things. Friday wore them out. Plus who knows how tiring it was for them to be in black and white for days?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I rather liked it," Peter replied. "Like we were in a movie. And really, you'd hope there are enough squirrels to get a rest every few days or somte such."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Do you think the squirrels even noticed?" Willow asked, off on her own tangents. "I mean they're grey already. It's not like the color scheme made them hugely different."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Do squirrels even see in colour?" Peter replied. "Dogs and cats don't, right?"

Angel who hadn't run into Vader yet was having a long day. He was also of the opinion that there wasn't enough coffee in the world to help him deal with it, so he stopped off at the Perk.

"Angel! Hi! You remembered to say hi to me!" Willow said, running over. She went to give him a hug but then paused. "Wait - you are Angel, right?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel, who hadn't listened to the radio since he'd come to town, only thought he had a vague idea of what Willow was talking about. "Of course I am!" he said, defensively. He gestured downwards. "See? No leather pants."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"What? Oh, no, that part I knew," Willow said, waving it off. "I just wanted to make sure you weren't Seely. There was a whole thing with him and me and grabby hands and me not wanting a repeat and hi!"

Willow finally pounced on him to hug him. Not that having a lack of certain Sunnydale people for Homecoming had made her feel a bit lonely or anything.

Angel, who hadn't had to process Willow babble in a while, hugged back akwardly and did his best to reply to the one part of all that which stood out to him.

"...you too, huh?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter hung back, letting the two of them catch up.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Me too what?" Willow asked, blinking in confusion. Then she waved it off. "Never mind. Come here, let me introduce you."

Willow then grabbed Angel by the sleeve and dragged him over to Peter. It was either a measure of Angel's bewilderment or Willow's determination that the tall, muscular vampire tripped over his feet, then followed along.

Peter was more than a bit amused at the little girl dragging the man over. He nodded to Angel and extended his hand.

"Good to meet you, I'm Peter Pevensie."

Veronica and Cameron entered The Perk, having just missed Willow and English Peter, which Veronica would be dismayed about if she were aware. She really did want to speak with Willow about that radio broadcast.

But, in the grand scheme of things, she'd much rather enjoy her last few hours on the island hanging out with Cameron.

"Want me to get a table while you get the drinks?" she suggested.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he nodded. "I think I might be able to remember what you like to drink too."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Of course you do," Veronica grinned, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "I'll find us a seat."

As soon as Cameron headed for the counter, she turned and noticed Angel sitting at a table alone.

"Feel up to some company?" she asked, walking over.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel pretended to look over his shoulder. "Veronica Mars? Speaking to me? I must be dreaming. Which would actually make my morning a hell of a lot better than it turned out to be. Hey."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"What happened?" Veronica asked, grabbing a seat. "Or don't I want to know?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You don't wanna know," Angel assured her. Which worked out well since he so did not want to tell. "How's things with you?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica glanced at the counter and smiled. "Really well," she said, before remembering Nadia's phone call. "For the most part at least. Have you talked to Bel at all this weekend?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel grew more serious. "Last night. Why?"
