2nd Floor Common Room. (Late Evening)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto sat watching an old Bitterwoman re-run.

It was entirely possible she was lying in wait waiting for someone to make an appearance.

"Bet they'd have tons," Angel agreed. He caught a glimpse of Callisto's hair out of the corner of his eye and blushed again. "Not like I have either! Told you, no instruction booklet."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Good ones too, well, so long as they don't involve the toaster," Callisto nodded, and tried very hard not to look at Angel. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Or Sean. Aeryn said I should leave him home. For, uh, idea stuff." Angel glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "Maybe ask Jenny?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah, puppies plus ideas, tends not to turn out too well." Callisto started to look at Angel then glanced away. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You do like him though, right? 'cause he's family now." Angel looked over to where Sean was playing. "Might. Maybe. Just don't want people thinking I'm blowing off redemption."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"He's very...cute, looks intellegent too." Callisto glanced across at the puppy. Not her fault if she also had to look at Angel to do so. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I think he understands what people say," Angel agreed. "Some say dating or trying to be happy at all is blowing it off."

[ooc: Sadly must go to bed. Slowplay?]

"That, that should make training him easier then," Callisto offered, still looking at the puppy, not the vampire, the puppy. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Can't be harder than training Spike," Angel replied. He might have shifted to be closer to Callisto. "What about you? I mean - vampire. Not like I'm exactly ideal company for most people."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Well he looks like he's house-trained, so he's already ahead there." Callisto might have only smiling at her lame joke. Might. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yep. Advantage of - um - Phale shopping well," Angel said, not knowing who was allowed to know if Phale was an angel. "Least your army can go out in the sunshine.... As far as I know."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Phale? From the, uh, it is a bookstore right?" Callisto asked, fiddling with her hands. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Right. British. Not so much into the actual bookselling." Angel watched Callisto's hands. "What about the part where I could turn evil? Not a lot of fun for you there, right?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Good taste in animals though. I mean, uh..." Callisto noticed Angel looking at her hands and trailed off. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blushed and looked at the carpet again. "Yeah but there's risk and there's risk. A normal... guy wouldn't give you that kind of problem."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto coughed and started rubbing the back of her neck. If she happened to brush against Angel it was purely by accident. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

If Angel happened to brush back, that was totally by accident too. "What about the future? You know, vengence done, maybe you want to settle down, have some kids..."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

And since it was completely accidental touching, there was absolutely no reason for Callisto to move away. So she didn't. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel might have moved his arm a little in return. "What about a more complicated village life? Just saying I've got a lack of options to offer you."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have put her hand down next to, or even possibly on top of, Angel's. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel moved his fingers a little. "Some people might get pissed that you're trying to give me a happy."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have unconsciously curled her fingers between his. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel might have smiled a little and rubbed his fingers against Callisto's. "Least if they did you'd probably kill them first."

He then blinked, as though realizing he'd just put a point in Callisto's favor instead of pointing out what an amazingly bad idea this was.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have been smiling from the point scoring or from the hand holding. Or both. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel glanced at her. "Could... maybe be a thing then."
