Suite 518/520, Monday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was getting ready for the road trip to pick up Marie. He was angry that he couldn't just shimmer to the train station and pick her up. Faster, safer, but he couldn't do that anymore. It didn't add to the helplessness he was feeling.

Skipping out of Pop Culture and avoiding Marty, however? That he could deal with.


[ooc: Mainly for teh girlfriend and cameronmitchell...although not necessarily at the same time. But that would be pretty. Anyone else is welcome to knock.]

"All set, sweetheart?" Cole said, putting his arms around her in turn.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded, laying her head against him. "Yeah, I'm all set. Did Jaime say when we were leaving?"

[demonbelthazor]

"As soon as we can get organized this morning," Cole said, running his hands through Phoebe's hair. "We're gonna meet him at the causeway. I guess he's taking care of getting the car."

He sighed in frustration. "I wish I could just shimmer there and pick her up."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe hugged him, still feeling a little responsible for what had happened.

"I know you do, love, but that's not something you can change. So, we take a road trip with our friends and we bring her home."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, should be simple, right?" Cole said. "It's about a five or six hour drive, we get her, we bring her back, and we figure out how to get the school to protect her if her parents try to pull her out again."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "Exactly. Her parents don't want to try to take her away against her will... not from Fandom."

[demonbelthazor]

"Still would be simplier if I could just shimmer and get her," Cole grumbled. "This just...sucks."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded and hugged him again. "I can only imagine, sweetheart."

[demonbelthazor]

"I've been a demon all my life, I don't know how to deal with not being one," Cole said, frustrated.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe hugged him.

"I'll help you, love. We'll find a way."

[demonbelthazor]

"Can you love an ordinary man as much as a magical one?" Cole asked quietly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe blinked at him. That had been a question she had never expected.

"I love you, Cole. Magical or not, that doesn't change the man you are -- or the man I fell in love with."

[demonbelthazor]

The reassurance felt good. "Just needed to hear it, I guess," he said a little gruffly, hugging her close.

[sensethevisions]

"I love you sweetheart. And I'll keep telling you that as many times as you need to hear it."

[demonbelthazor]

"Thanks," he said softly, feeling very foolish.

[sensethevisions]

"Anytime, love."
