I saw it out of the corner of my eye. She just looked...lonely.
"Do you mind if I...?" I asked Charlotte, looking over at Jessy. Charlotte smiled, stepping away.
"Go ahead, ya big softy," she said. I grinned, walking over to Jessy.
"Wha' cha doin' over here by yourself, Jess?" I asked. Looking at Belle and Spike. I think Belle got my idea. "You'll have to excuse me, mates. This girl looks like she needs some cheerin' up," Jessy looked flabbergasted as I dragged her to the dance floor. "Hope you don't mind dancing with this old fart, girl."

"But my daddy told me not to dance with older men." I grinned. "But go on, dance with the birthday girl. I'm sure Rory will turn up soon." It wouldn't do to tell him where Rory was.

(((Wasn't he asleep under the bar?)))
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure," she replied, moving away.
"No luck?" Charlotte said, walking up to me.
"She's waiting for Rory," I said. I was worried about her. I ddin't like seeing the girl depressed like this.
"hey, no frowning," Charlotte mock scolded.
"Right," I said with a smile. "Sorry 'bout that," as we returned to dancing, I gave Jessy one more, worried look, before going back to Charlotte.
I suddenly gave good parents everywhere far more respect.

I wished Rory hadn't told me where he was. It was so risky. Sometimes I hated him for what he was doing but I knew he felt he had to. But still every night I couldn't sleep.

Even with my attention on her demonliness, i couldnt help but hear several rather interesting thoughts- bloody baby and her flippin powers.
I grinned over at belle as she fought very hard not to leap at Spike, and instead was going very very red.
And then i caught Jessy's thoughts- at first it was just the shear lonliness that got me... and then there was that thought about Rory...
"Excuse me. "I siad to illyria, who looked relieved. I went to Jess, and said, "Hey girly, whats up?"
"Nothing." She said way too quickly.
"Where's Rory?" I asked.
"Oh, he'll be back soon." She said. I smirked,
"Jess, thats not what i asked. Where is he?"

"I don't know. Out somewhere I guess. He'll probably be back soon. No need to worry, nothing wrong."
(((Sorry Mai. I couldn't help it)))

Now i was annoyed.
"Ok Jess." I said, "Listen very carefully. Tonight is Charlies. If something is going on, then tell me now before it gets dangerous and the evening is screwed. I telepathic, Jess- if i have to, i'll find out for myself whats happening. You have ten seconds."

"Rory's been out a lot recently- trying to scope out how many of Grace's minions are left etc. Tonight he's gone to find Killian. I'm very worried. Now can you please leave me alone." I turned away.

"He's done what?" I snarled. I grabbed Jessy's arm, stopping her from turning. "Tonight? Of all friggin nights? Shit. Damn it Jess, how could you let him!?"

"He did it to bloody keep him away from anyone. And don't even say wards. So he can't get in the Spot, what's to stop him waiting outside? So why can't you bloody appreciate what he's doing? I couldn't bloody stop him so just shut up. He's gone out and he may not come back and all you care about is your bloody party. So fuck off!" I stormed away from the Slayer.

She thought...? Oh shit. Well bloody done, Maya.
"Jessy wait!" I cried out. I ran after her, catching her just as she reached the back room. "Jess wait, listen to me!"
"What!?" SHe snapped angrily, tears in her eyes.
"Thats not what i meant." I said. "Do you really think me so heartless that I rank the party over him? Goddess Jess. I meant that i cant beloeve he's gone off alone, with barely anyone knowing about it, when every one of us is distracted! And i get protecting us- thats real noble... but going after Killian, actaully hunting him down... its crazy."
"Dont call him cr..." Jessy began. I squeezed my eyes shut momenarily,
"No... I... urgh, jessy- i'm worried about him... where exactly did he head for?"

"Well, he's been following some of Grace's old minions. Some of them don't realise he has a soul. Recently they've been gathering together in some grveyard, it's a small one called....Cromwells. But Rory thinks it's just a meeting place and that somewhere else is where they will go. He thinks it's either Killian or Karen organising this, possibly both. And he's not hunting, just looking. He'd tell us if he found them." I looked over my shoulder at the window.

"And if they work out that he's screwing them over?" I asked exasperatedly. I scrunched up my eyes as i thought, "I guess we have to hope that he's keeping small, out of sight. Ok... i'm gonna try to contact him, ok?" I shook my head, "I just hope the idiot's ok."
I went in back where is was a little quieter, and sat down, cross legged- a stable long distance connection was alot easier to sustain if i was relaxed like that.
[Rory?] i called out across the city, a call that only he could possibly hear. [Rory, this is Maya. Can you hear me?]

Rory's point of view(I am not doing the whole login thing)
I heard the call. I was sitting in a demon bar having a drink with some of Graces old minions. These guys were pretty close to Killian but liked to gossip like fishwives once they'd got drunk. So far I knew that he was with Karen and they were gathering minions and Killian seemed to have sired quite a few this past week. I was still trying to learn his wherabouts when I felt the message. I gave a short reply. [Yes]
