Forest looked away and mumbled, "Flatterer.  I honestly don't need that much sleep."

3377
Forest rose into a half reclining position and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?  I'm a fairly decent listener. Plus I can also sympathize about grievous bodily harm."

3378
Forest smiled at Archer and said, "You seem exhausted yourself, honestly."

She knew he wanted to move from his words, but he made no motion to leave.  "Let me guess, rough day at the office before landing in some daft Scotswoman's bed?"

3379
The picture that Archer portrayed laying in her bed, surrounded by purple and violet plush bed clothes was a rather nice one.  His hands behind his head gave Forest a nice view of his arms as he stretched out.  It was odd, anyone else she would have chided and perhaps even gotten physically violent with getting into her bed like this.  She laid down as well, rolling over to her side and propping her head up with her hand. 

She flashed him a smile and replied, "Well, honestly, I'm glad that you're here, broken bed withstanding.  I do know that if any other men fall into my bed, unless they happen to be Bruce Campbell, they'll be rather lack luster in comparison."

3380
"Oh if you were an evil murderer, you wouldn't be having this nice little bit of a chat with me," Forest said with a grin, before stilling slightly at his unfinished question.  Then she looked at him and said in a quiet voice, "Well I'm here now."

Then she looked at her mattress, breaking the moment, and said, "Yeah, I should invest in a steel bed frame or something."

3381
"Lets just say I'm the sort that likes to help when the person's worth it," Forest said with a shrug, "Besides, you like fell into my bed.  That's . . . that's gotta count for something I don't want to put too much thought into."

Oh Lord and Lady, yes I do.  I'm putting all sorts of thought into those large hands and . . . I have to stop reading those books.  Or I might prove Gabe right.

3382
Gabriel was listening outside his godmother's door.  Her "visitor" had her so distracted that she hadn't chided her godson yet for eavesdropping, and eavesdropping was what Gabriel was doing.  Eavesdropping and sensing all sorts of interest and attraction between the two of them.

The chemistry was instant.  Gabriel wasn't a believer in love at first sight, but like at first quip was something entirely possible.  Not to mention the two of them were so alike he was going to laugh at the irony once he was away.

Both of them were frustrated.   Both of them hadn't felt the touch of a lover for a long time, and both of them had been rejected by a lover because of who they were.  It's almost like the Nexus wanted them to meet, he thought, a smile splitting his face.  Well, in this I can help out.

With Archer's tiptoeing around the subject of contracting with someone, Gabriel suspected just how it was made and his smile grew.

Forest combed her fingers through her hair and said, "Actually it's not a matter of taste, but more like it can make me severely weakened or even comatose.  It's a life thing, part of it is taking it from the living.  It's . . . a very long and metaphysical explanation."

She twirled a lock of her hair around and said, "I . . . well, if its to help you out and you need it I wouldn't mind opening up a vein.  I can always get more, and I can help you find someone to make a contract with, if you want.  So you don't expire or whatnot."

******

"Exactly, the more you have at your call, the better off you'll be," Ash said, "But first, how are you feeling?"

Chances were, since Ellen was so young, she was probably getting lethargic with the sun rising.


3383
I'd say the city is growing obviously.

3384
I remembered to post with Lancer.  I'm sorry Alice!  I blame the snot.

Now he's super proud of himself because he holds a steady job.  At Wal-Mart. 

3385
Forest chuckled and said, "I was just being a good hostess, offering you a place to sit that wasn't on the bloody ground.  As for 'the blood thing' feeding . . .  well, it has to be from the living.  I can't just gnosh on a blood bag and be fine.  If I tried that . . .  well, it would be very bad."

Then she pulled out the elastic tie holding her braid together and started to take her hair down.  She said, "If I was going to give you blood for magical energy I'd probably just open up a vein and tell you to drink.  I'd be afraid that just bleeding into a cup and injecting it would lessen the effect.  The ritual is half the point after all."

******

Lancer laughed as the other three girls departed.  He said, "I pointedly said I wasn't going to spend the night unless you wanted me to, Rin."

He winked at her and said, "Now you get a room to yourself once I leave.  Unless you do want me to spend the night.  However, let's go get a drink at the bar and catch up.  My treat.  I have a job here in Nexus that doesn't involve fighting things."

His chest puffed out slightly with pride that he was an ancient hero that had managed to adapt to the modern world.  Just he didn't know the implications of working at Wal-Mart.  All he knew was he got currency to help him buy food and things.  Not to mention a discount on all the items that the store sold.  Like his tent.

3386
Forest nodded and answered, "Not to mention most people get squeamish over blood.  However, they seem to get squeamish about sex too." Something I know a lot about.

Again, if she had fed recently, she would have blushed about his comment about hopping into bed with her.  "You're really forward you know that."

3387
"Not to mention if you're too hasty in making a contract you could theoretically be stuck with someone who's a douche.  Like Karna," Forest said.

She watched as Archer got more comfortable, adjusting the butt cape behind her. Then she processed "other bodily fluids".  "Ah, so you can get it by sex too!  Well, that makes sense.  There are witches I know who boost their powers with shagging."

The vampire scooted over and said, "You know, you don't have to sit on the floor.  There's plenty of room up here."

3388
"You're welcome.  Just, I wouldn't know how to give it to you once I got it.  I mean, I knew you weren't Joe Mortal when you crashed in, but different worlds different rules," Forest said, making a circle gesture with her hand.

"I know power can be transferred through blood."

3389
"Vampire," Forest said with a nod, "Hence the basement dwelling.  No Crispy Fried Forest."

She caught the surprise in his eyes for some reason.  Probably not used to dealing with Moral Fags like me, she thought. 

She grinned and replied, "Beware the white haired guy with the spiky codpiece then.  He's a right piece of work.  He'll start listing your flaws and totally ignore any good you've done.  Still think the Morrigan could kick his ass thought."  She studied him and then asked, "Magical energy how?  I mean, I'm not a witch or whatnot, but . . . I can get my hands on magical energy.  So you don't fade away, because that would sort of really suck."

Smooth Forest.  Really smooth.  Bugger it.

Forest watched as Archer cleaned up the mess in the room, somewhat enjoying the view.  Admittedly, he was rather efficient and thorough with his work.  Once he was finished, he sat before her and asked,  "Now, what to brood about first?"

Forest toyed with the soft, purple fabric of her comfroter and shrugged.  "It's a long list . . ." she said, toying with the fabric between her fingers while she talked.  "Well, I have this arsehole of a Hindu god in my living room harassing me because he's an almighty wanker.  Oh, and I had my most prized possession utterly and catastrophically destroyed in front of me, which was of the suck.  Oh, and immortality sort of sucks"

Ash nodded and replied, "Seduction has its advantages too.  It puts you at less of a risk if you're in a pinch.  Hunting can be risky, especially in a place where there are monster hunters everywhere.  Hell, there's a dhampire on the police force here."
