Suite 518/520, Wednesday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel woke up before Phoebe and slipped quietly from the bed so as not to disturb her. She'd been sleeping when he got back last night, so she had not been awake to see how wracked with guilt he was about what he had done. He knew he had to tell her, but he didn't want to confess to stealing the amulet for Raynor.

He headed out to the living area and sank down on the couch, his face in his hands. How the hell was he going to get out of this mess?

"Raynor?! I was talking about Anders!"

[demonbelthazor]

"Anders doesn't have my father's soul!" Cole said, still confused.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe may have flailed. "Well! Seely said on the radio the two of you were doing things of the dirty nature... then you come in acting all guilty and what was I supposed to think!" She narrowed her eyes at him. "How in the hell did Raynor get your father's soul?"

[demonbelthazor]

"We weren't being dirty much, he just took me for a ride!" Cole protested. "And...my mother gave it to him after she killed my father."

[sensethevisions]

"A ride... on what?"

Phoebe sat down next to him. "Can I say again how much more I'm glad that bitch is dead?"

[demonbelthazor]

"On his AstroGlider floaty sled thing," Cole said, using the technical terms.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe choked. "Astro Glide?"

[demonbelthazor]

"...yes?" Cole said hesitantly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe swallowed. "Love, describe what you guys were... uhm... see Astro Glide is something that..." She blushed a bright red. "We would have gotten from Becky in her workshop."

[demonbelthazor]

"Oh! That!" Cole said. "Umm, no. This was like a floating sled."

[sensethevisions]

"Ahh!" The relief was evident in her face. "So, I don't need to vanquish Anders, then?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'd rather you didn't," Cole said. "If that's okay with you."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe gave a slight smile. "Can I vanquish Seely for saying what he did?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Do you really need an excuse to vanquish Seely?" Cole said. "I'm sure Willow would approve."

[sensethevisions]

"She'd probably help." She bit her lip. "Would it cause you pain?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Vanquishing Seely? Why would it...? Oh. Umm, well, it's not like you're really going to do it anyway, because he's an innocent, so there's really no point in even thinking about it...." Yes, he may have been babbling a little.

[sensethevisions]

"Because he looks like Angel..." She frowned. "I cold beat him severely, though."

[demonbelthazor]

"You're a good witch," Cole scolded. "You don't do things like that."
