South Attic, Thursday Morning

[demonbelthazor]

No, Bel wasn't hiding. He was just...avoiding. Avoiding classes, avoiding people, avoiding everything.

He was also trying to get himself in the right frame of mind to take Veronica on a trip to the Underworld. Not a stellar idea, but if she wanted to go, he could hardly refuse her.


[ooc: open for visitors, please to be helping me avoid work. ;) ]

"Exactly. Being good is a lot harder than being evil, so, in a way it kind of counts more. Or at least it should. Don't you think?" Lana raised her eyebrows at him with a grin.

[demonbelthazor]

"Maybe," he said grudgingly. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Why do you have so much faith in me?"

Lana blinked at him innocently. "Because I'm hopelessly naive?" she suggested, then laughed.

"I'm sure there's more than one person who'd tell you that - including Shep and Han if they were still around." She swallowed hard, surprised at how much it still hurt to mention them. "But I think, really, it's just... I don't know. I have this feeling about you. I just know there's so much good inside you."

[demonbelthazor]

"I wish I had your faith," he said wistfully. "I look inside me and I just see the terrible things I've done."

Lana can't stop herself, she reaches out and just hugs him.

"I wish you could look inside my heart and see how special and good you are."

[demonbelthazor]

Caught off guard, Bel flinched a little as she hugged him, not because of Lana, but because he didn't think he deserved her faith. But he hugged her back, even if it was a little awkward. "I wish I could, too," he said.

Lana felt the flinch and let him go quickly. "Isn't there some sort of a spell that lets you see what's in another person's heart?" she said lightly. "Ask Phoebe. I'd be glad to demonstrate for you."

[demonbelthazor]

"I know about spells that can force you to feel something," he said, "but not ones that let you feel what someone else is feeling. But yeah, Phoebe might know if there are any empathic spells in the Book."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"If there is and you want..." Lana shrugged. "I'm totally willing. Might make you feel a little better."


[OOC: Or could totally screw with Bel and Lana, leaving him empathic and/or her broadcasting her emotions so loudly everyone can hear them. ;)]

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."


[ooc: Hee! I'm sure we could come up with something. Also, am leaving work in a few so another period of silence from me is coming up.]

"Well, you guys know where to find me. I better go - Physical Conditioning and then the mun thinks my MEH final."


[OOC: Could be fun. Catch you when you get home. :) ]

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "Okay. Thanks, um, thanks for coming by," he said.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana nodded. "Any time. Try not to be so hard on yourself, okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll try," Bel said with a small smile.
