Del returned looking rather miffed, and sat at the bar, grabbing a drink.
"SO that went well then?" I asked sarcastically.

I shook my head, taking a rather large swig of my Smirnoff. It didn't help the pain - point of fact, it made it worse. I pushed the drink away and slammed my head against the bar: another bad move. Finally, I just turned around and leaned my back against the bar. I tried to heal my head, but it didn't work. Whatever got me must have been more powerful magic than I had. That and healing yourself is never as easy for some stupid reason.
"My head hurts," I replied finally. "But Bones is alright, and I got what I wanted... kinda."

I reached out with my power, sensing Del's pain... I didn't know if i'd be able to help at all, but i could try, right?

'It'll be okay Del, the pain will fade eventually... Demonic headaches don't like to hang around in powerful peoples brains. And D may I just say a big fat aye for passing the motion of banning apocolypses? Whatever happened to a simple patrol'

I laughed, feeling the pain start to subside. It wasn't gone, but Maya's magic trip did wonders for it. My new hero.
"Banning the apocalypse?" I repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Well I guess I'll have to cancel my plans next week... cancel the order for a ritual sacrifice... honestly, you have no idea how much planning goes into the apocalypse, and you just cancel it!"
I looked at their faces and tried to keep a straight face. When you're an undead elf who offered to buy a slayer acid the first time you saw her, I guess it's a bit more difficult to tell when you're joking.
"Kidding," I assused them, grinning.

I laughed, shaking my head,
"Had me worried for a sec." I said. "But I'm all for banning apocalypses. We've had way more than our fair share of late! And they always involve really weird stuff happening." I grinned up at Josh and he knew that that included us, so i added, "Some of which isn't too bad... but i have to agree with nicks- a little regular vamp, fight, poof, for a while would be good."

'Nicki is of course a goddess and should be worshipped' I joked 'Except we live in a world where that could actually happen or we live near an alternate dimension where that's already happened... Wow. Nicki the goddess. Nicola, goddess of alcohol and fun'

"Oh dear. why do i get the feeling that world might be a little defective?" I joked, dodging Nicki's swipe.

"I pity the world that worships you," I said dryly. "I mean really, how stupid can you get? Those poor, poor people." I shook my head in mock sadness, before grinning and clapping Nicki on the shoulder. "I'm joking. About the pity part, not the stupid part."
Like Maya only moments before, I dodged a swipe.

"Ah, democracy," I laughed. "And I don't think Nicki would be too bad. I mean, let's face it; rainwater to Smirnoff. Would that be that bad?"

"If you are teetotal, yeah," I said indignantly.

I furrowed my eyebrows in thought. "That would be interesting," I admitted. "But if it was raining Smirnoff, would we all be drinking acid water?"

"Ok, now thats an officially wierd conversation." I commented. I smiled, "Hey, Del..." I said, glancing at Josh beside me, "You remember Joshua, right?"
This was the first time they had properly met since Del had left, and she didn't officially know about US yet... so i was preparing for huge amounts of teasing, or outrage, or laughter, or any other reaction- i was pretty much braced...

I nodded curtly at Josh, not quite sure how I should really greet him. Our last meeting hadn't been entirely pleasent, after all, but Maya and the others seemed keen on him. In fact... I looked over at Maya, studying her. She seemed a bit more than 'keen' on him. Either I was going insane or...
"Good Lord, child, I did not expect that one."

Happy to have just sat and listened to the conversation without contributing, you learn a lot that way, I sat with a smile on my face, until my Mai did the equivalent of introducing me to a creature as old as I could safely go back in time, give or take a century or two.
Then she said that to us, and I swear we did not plan it this way, but both Mai and me exclaimed at the exact same time, "Expect what one?"
Then there was that 'there an echo in here' glancing about until we looked at each other, mutually decided it wasn't important at the moment, and turned back to stare at Aredhel for the answer to our question.
