On the Maru: Waiting for Angelus - NFB and locked

After leaving the clinic without once meeting Phoebe or Bel's eyes, Beka couldn't get to the Maru fast enough. Right now, if she saw another human, she'd either kill them or cry. Since the former would probably do a lot more for her state of mind, it was probably a very good idea she'd chosen to meet Angelus here.

While she stalked across campus to her ship, she commed Buffy. "Buffy? Change of plans. I need you out at my ship now, and gone before a half an hour is up. I don't want you near Angelus with me in this mood. This isn't a request."

"Yes, my Morning Star," she responded.

"Don't be hurt, Buffy. I don't ask for things much. I'm letting you help me. That's a lot."

"I know."

"Good. See you very soon."

Fifteen minutes later, she was handing Buffy her note, and telling her to go see if Phoebe and Bel needed theirs dropped off. Before Buffy left, she kissed her forehead. "Thank you."

Buffy left, not running, but walking fast, and soon she was out of sight. Beka settled back against the hull of her ship, drawing comfort from the feel of home. She lit a cigarette and waited for Angelus.
