Downstairs<\/b><\/p>\n

“…always done this, always will. Reads a book, thinks he knows.” Angel steps through the kata with sinuous precision, voice tempered, falsely matter-of-fact.<\/p>\n

Cordelia ghosts his movement. “If you’re upset, tell…”<\/p>\n

“Not upset.”<\/p>\n

“Fine. But you should say…”<\/p>\n

“Nothing to say. If he’s curious he can look it up.”<\/p>\n

“Angel.” The way she says his name makes him stop and meet her eyes. “Wesley thinks too much for his own good, but he’s your friend. Tell him why you’re upset…”<\/p>\n

“I am not…”<\/p>\n

“Upset, right. Could’ve fooled me.”<\/p>\n

Lifting the sword, Angel establishes his position. “Not likely,” he sighs.<\/p>\n

Upstairs<\/b><\/p>\n

“…just another distraction. Gotta be ready to move is all I’m saying.” Stretching his long legs, Gunn relaxes on the sofa, and lets Fred put Connor in his arms.<\/p>\n

“It’s impractical at best, dangerous at worst,” Wesley agrees in a stage whisper. “You must remember that while Angel appears to be a man, the presence of his demon self informs everything he is.”<\/p>\n

“That’s a load of horse puckey.” Fred doesn’t bother to lower her voice. “Angel’s humanity isn’t the problem, Wesley, you know…”<\/p>\n

“What the hell’s horse puckey?”<\/p>\n

“Charles!” Fred hisses, “Don’t say horseshit in front of the b-a-b-y,”<\/p>\n

Downstairs<\/b><\/p>\n

“…other people making decisions about my son.” Angel angrily takes Cordelia’s practice sword, returns it to the rack, and waits for her rejoinder.<\/p>\n

“You’re right,” she says, sitting on the bottom step.<\/p>\n

“Having Connor is the closest I’ll ever come to perfect happiness,” he whispers, sidling next to her.<\/p>\n

“Which is why Wes has you under the microscope. You can’t blame him.”<\/p>\n

“Cordy, I won’t lose my soul by loving my son. My life is about keeping him safe. Keeping us<\/i> safe. There’s no bliss in that.”<\/p>\n

“Sometimes the things that make us happiest…”<\/p>\n

“…break our hearts. No surprise there.”<\/p>\n
