Sunday afternoon, Dr. Carter's classroom

[demonbelthazor]

Since his mother and Raynor wanted to meet the people he associated with at the school, Belthazor reluctantly took them to Dr. Carter's classroom, checking to see if there were any JA members lingering after the Meet & Greet from yesterday.

The room was mostly empty, but a few people were there, including Beka, cleaning up in the back of the room.

After Raynor left, Beka rounded on Bel. "You owe me. And furthermore, I can't believe you just stood there and let them talk to you like that. And you..." she said to Angelus "And you I should probably thank for not outing us right away."

"You don't understand the way things work in the Underworld," Belthazor growled.

"Don't I? I think I just..." She stopped herself, remembering the cameras. "There's a little irony in that, Bel. More than a little." Her tone is bitter. Hurt.

"You know my favorite way of being showed gratitude," Angelus winked at her.

"You want that now or later?" she smiled, but her frustration took most of the play out of it...though not the sincerity.

"Based on the tension I'm still tasting in this room," Angelus said, not unsympathetically, "I'm thinking later. Not that biting doesn't add a spice, but I like to come out of these things with all my body parts where I left them."

"I'm flattered." And she was. Angelus's respect, whether pretend or real went a long way to restoring her sense of self. He kept doing that...it was beginning to be unnerving.

"I'm never drawn to weak women," Angelus replied.

Beka just looked at him. "If we were alone, I might have a response to that."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"We'll take a raincheck on that too."

Her only response was to lift her chin and turn her head to the side.

"That's my girl," Angelus said with approval.

Beka flushed again, and then shook her head wryly. "Thanks?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It was meant as a compliment," Angelus assured her.

"We really shouldn't have these conversations with you over there and me over here."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"We should if you're to behave yourself."

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

"Right. Remind me, where's the fun in that?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Good things come to those who wait?"

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

"Very good, as I recall. Guess I'll wait and see."
