Angel sat alone in a corner doing what he did best, brooding. Not that he's ever admit it.
Everyone else was trying to fix the care-ee-oo-key machine or whatever it was called because there was nothing else to do. Carrot Toss was just as they left it. Half burned down and half charred.
But he wasn't thinking about where he was or what the others were doing, he was thinking about Connor. And he was fighting with himself about it.
'Just friends, I trust him, he wouldn't lie to me.'
'Of course he would lie to you. He put you in a metal box and threw you in the ocean.'
'Okay, maybe he would lie. But he doesn't know anything about girls, how could he have feelings for her?'
'Oh come on! You just keep getting stupider by the minute. That's the whole point, he doesn't know anything about girls. He's never met a girl his age so he wouldn't know what those feelings are. He probably does and just has no idea what he's thinking.'
'But if he does that would be good for him. He deserves to be happy.'
'Is this a girl you want for him though. If she's anything like Faith was then she's bound to be a mess.'
'God I need help.'
'You've been having an inner monalogue fught with yourself for over an hour and you're realizing that now?'
He got up and walked over the bar where they'd set up a phone.
He waited for someone to pick up on the other end.
"Hello?"
"Fred it's Angel."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Is Faith there?"
"Yeah one sec."
There was a bit of rustling then, "Talk to me."
"Faith it's Angel."
"S'up man?"
"Can you tell me a bit more about Robby?"
"Angel junior can take care of himself, you said it."
"I know he can, I'd just like to know more about her."
"Okay, she's like me only less into the fun stuff."
"Faith I don't know what that means."
"What makes you loose your soul?"
"A moment of pure happiness."
"And what causes that moment?"
"Oh. What else?"
"She likes watching T.V. and don't ever repeat this but she sings, she plays guitar, she writes music and stories and she reads books."
"What's so bad about that?"
"It makes her look like a sap. Duh. Why do you wanna know?"
"I talked to Connor earlier and he seemed to be having fun with her and..."
"And you wanna make sure she isn't gunna lead him down a bad path? Come on Angel I know you better then that. What's really going on in that head of yours?"
"I think he might have feelings for her."
"You've got to be kidding me."
"No he seemed really happy and not that I'm complaining about that but he doesn't ever get like that. And he was talking in this light tone when ever I asked about her. And he called her Robs."
"Hold it! He called her Robs?"
"Yeah."
''She never lets people call her anything but her real name, other then me."
"What does that mean?"
"Means either she likes him or he called her that out of the blue and got lucky that she didn't pummel him. I'm putting my money on the second one."
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't get attached to people Angel."
"What do you mean?"
"She's got pulled into this whole fighting the good fight because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But instead of complaining about it she threw herself in. She's ready to sacrifice anything, even her own life. The only thing that doesn't fall into the anything catigory is another human life."
"So she cuts herself off and by doing that she won't loose anything."
"Yeah, she doesn't even admit to knowing me unless she can help it. She has enemies and lots of 'em. So if the kid does like her you'd better tell him not to get his hopes up."
"Thanks Faith."
"Don't mention it."
Angel hung up disapointed. If Robby made Connor happy then he would have supported what ever they had, but Faith knew her better. He was going to have to talk to Connor.
