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. ;) ]

That wasn't really helping to alleviate the guilt Piper was feeling. "I guess."

She looked at him. "How are you? Really?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm fine, really," he lied, not wanting to give her more to feel guilty about. He forced a smile. "Just a little embarrassed to have been beaten up by a girl."

[absolutesnark]

That got a smile out of her, though it might have been a little forced as well. "I won't tell anyone."

[demonbelthazor]

"I think it made the radio," Bel said lightly. "The mighty Belthazor has ass kicked by girl, film at 11."

[absolutesnark]

Piper couldn't help laughing slightly. "At least you're not the only one."

[demonbelthazor]

"True," Bel said, though inwardly he was flailing a bit about the thought of what Piper could've done to Angel. Had done to Angel.


[ooc: scurrying home from work in a few.]

"It could have been a lot worse," Piper said. "I could have killed someone and I would have been lost, too. You put yourself in danger to help me and I won't forget that."

[demonbelthazor]

"After what I did to you, I owed you that much," Bel said. "I'd do it again."

[absolutesnark]

"That's good to know," Piper said. "You really are capable of a lot of good."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm not so sure about that," Bel said, ducking his head again.

[absolutesnark]

"You are," Piper said adamantly. "You didn't have to risk your life to help me, but you did anyway. Because you knew it was the right thing to do."

[demonbelthazor]

"I just wish I could do more," Bel said quietly.

[absolutesnark]

"I have a feeling you will."
