Library - 2/7

Isabel walked into the library and immediately found herself surrounded by every chair in the room. All looking for attention. Rolling her eyes, she made her way to the main counter and sat up on it, out of reach while she finished her coffee.

It was going to be one of those kind of days.

"It was nice of you to ask anyway," Anders told her. "You know I'd love that, and wow, did the thought of it cheer me up already."

Somewhere across the room, the ottoman had skidded into a wall and fallen over onto its side, looking as stunned as a faceless piece of furniture could look.

"Oh, you so get a hug for that," Anders told her.

He sighed at the ottoman. "The 'be careful or you'll put someone's eye out' threat just doesn't carry as much weight with something that doesn't have eyes, does it?"

"It gets points for effort, but it's gonna need a little more polish before it's ready to take the field -- not that kind of polish!" Anders called out to the ottoman as it straightened up, seemingly indignant, and tried to contort itself so it could buff imaginary spots off its own feet.

He leaned over and gave Isabel a quick but tight hug. "Have I thanked you yet? 'cause . . . yeah. Thanks."

[OOC: Have a good dinner!]

"You could've stopped it from happening?" Anders guessed.

"Yeah, well, I can't believe I didn't stop to think there might be a reason he did a total U-turn on me out of nowhere on Christmas Eve," Anders replied, tossing another ball of paper toward the ottoman. "And Wyatt said there might not be a way to save him, which . . . really not wanting to think about that."

Anders sighed and watched Otto go haring off after the paper. "To which all I can say is, this sucks."

[OOC: And now I shut down and go home, whee!]

Anders closed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair. "Yeah, me neither. Even if it would almost make things simpler, that way. What does it mean when you'd rather pick the complicated option?"

"Huh." Anders mulled that over while he watched Otto bump repeatedly into the legs of a slightly fractious chair in its attempts to get to the ball of paper that had ended up underneath the chair. "Guess that makes me a little bit less of a jerk then, huh?"

"Death by furniture? What a way to go," Anders said sorrowfully. He wasn't quite convinced of her words, but he nodded and said, "No arguments from me, then. You're okay, right? No weird aftereffects or horrible lasting trauma from the spell or anything?"

"Good," Anders said. "Not that you were frustrated, just . . . good that you're okay other than that."

"That makes two of us," Anders said quietly. "He tried to come back for me, take me to Hell. If Parker and Bridge hadn't gotten there in time . . ."

Anders smiled tightly. "Physically, I'm just fine."

"Here comes the pitch, and she swings, and it's a high drive and it's outta here!"

The euphemism was somehow easier than just saying yes.
