Room 504, Tuesday Evening

So it was possible that Wesley's room was a tad bit untidy today and this was apparently a theme today, but this time it wasn't Alex's fault. Or at least, not entirely. Today's mess had something to do with the fact that Wesley was sitting on the floor, with papers strewn everywhere as he researched... a hotel.

Yes, he felt a bit silly about it himself, but it was what Angel had asked him to work on. So.

"A two hundred and forty-year old vampire with a soul with an interest in real estate," he murmured to himself, poring over an ownership deed that Cordelia had faxed over after being unable to make heads or tails of it. "Honestly."

[[open! good god, i haven't roomposted this one in forever, oops.]]

"Excellent," Wesley said. "I'm sure he'll be quite grateful." Or the plant would, anyway.
abitlowkey: (what was that?)

"Give him my best, will you, Wesley?" Oh this couldn't end well.

"So you don't intend to stick around for his reaction, then?" This came as SUCH A SHOCK to Wes.

"Sure," Tara said, then realized something. "Um. Except for where I didn't bring the book."

Because she was the brilliantest witch ever, yup.

"Do you have Asherman's Daemonology? It was a weird translation but I'm pretty sure that's wh-what Loki was using."

"Not... precisely." SHUT UP, WESLEY.

"I believe so," Wesley said thoughtfully, cautiously making his way around some papers to get to his bookshelf. He thumbed through books, finally resurfacing with one, which he handed to Tara. "I have the original Latin..."

"But if we're concluding that he'll be so terribly grateful...!" Muahahahaha.

"I can read Latin." Well. Spell Latin, anyhow. Don't ask Tara to translate Virgil.

She opened the book, thumbing most of the way through before she hit what she was looking for. "This one," she finally said, and tipped the book for Wesley to see. "I know the blood's a little weird, but it's not ... a bad spell."

"I do not believe he would be willing to open it should I remain," Loki replied smoothly. "His trust is sadly lacking."

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"So you'd prefer that I... not reveal your identity, then?"

Oh, Loki. YOU DIDN'T KNOW WESLEY AT ALL.
abitlowkey: (...seriously?)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2012-01-25 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh no, I dare say the radio squirrels would let him know." A beat. "With glitter. Oddest of animals."

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Wesley ran his finger down the page, taking in the ingredients with a furrowed brow. "This... isn't quite your usual, is it?" he asked cautiously.

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"So you're concerned for his reaction... upon the moment he opens it, then?"
life_inshadow: ([neu] this is disconcerting)

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2012-01-25 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Tara admitted. "It's a different tradition. But ... I'll never grow if I don't try new things, right?"
abitlowkey: (ears perked)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2012-01-25 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"No, upon seeing me." Do keep up, Wesley.

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I... suppose," Wesley said, because she had a point there, though he still sounded wary. "Would you mind if... well, do you intend to continue working at this sort of thing with him?"

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I see."

Poor, poor Wesley. Caught between teacup gods. His was a difficult life.

"Well. I'll make sure not to disclose your room number, then."
abitlowkey: (smiiiiirk)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2012-01-25 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"If you would be so kind!"

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"In the meantime..." Wesley considered thinking up an artful way to segue, but ended up just Wesleying it up. What, he could totally use his name as a verb. He was basically Britta sometimes, okay? "I heard via radio that you and Tara attempted some sort of magic together?"

Tara nodded. "We didn't make specific plans? But ... probably, yeah."

She was wary too. Wesley sounded to her like he had an idea, but she wasn't sure what it was.

"It may have been beyond her ken," he lamented. "I think perhaps something more simple the next time.

"Would you mind if I came along?" he offered. "I -- that is, I'm not quite as practiced as you are, but I do know a bit about magical theory." And also Loki. And how much he sucked. "If nothing else, I might be able to pick up on what's been going wrong?"

[identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com 2012-01-25 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I've some experience in magics myself, you know," Wesley offered neutrally. LOOK, HE JUST WANTED TO FEEL INCLUDED.

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2012-01-25 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure," Tara said eagerly. "It'll be like ... a little tiny coven. Plus more power is usually better."
abitlowkey: (pondering what I'm pondering)

[personal profile] abitlowkey 2012-01-25 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"From your... watching?" Loki. Loki.
