Tara's office hours, Friday 10-2pm.

Tara nods goodbye to her students that they leave, and sits down at her desk to do her marking. The door is open for anyone that needs to see her.

Bel waited until no one was around the office, then knocked on Tara's door.

"Come on in, Belthazor," Tara calls.

"Is it okay if I shut the door?" he asked as he stepped inside.

"Of course," Tara replies, settling into a comfortable chair and putting a NFB on the thread.

Bel shut the door, then stood before Tara. "I, um...how are you doing?" he asked cautiously.

"I'm okay," she reassures him. "I... it was a really, really crazy few days for me. And I mean that in the most literal possible sense. I hear you've had a bad time of it, too?"

"Yeah," he admitted. "Went to talk to somebody, and it didn't go well. Kind of...lost my temper."

"Do you want to talk about it? Or are we studiously pretending the whole thing never happened?"

"Not sure what to say," he said. "You seem much better at least."

"Yeah..." Tara replies quietly. "Um... about that. I wanted to apologise to you."

She looks down, shaking her head. "Then apologise, stupid."

Looking up, she takes a deep breath, squares her shoulders and says firmly, "Belthazor, I'm sorry for my behaviour the other night. I provoked you, and I am deeply sorry for the pain that caused you."

Belthazor blinked at Tara in confusion. "You're apologizing...to me?" he said.

Tara nods, biting her lip. "Can you forgive me?"

"Wait...I'm the one who...." He looked meaningfully at her neck. "Why should I forgive you?"

Tara touches her neck, wincing a little as her fingers brush against the sore skin. "I know you were, but... you were in a bad place. You weren't strong enough to control yourself, and that wasn't your fault. I provoked you, and you ended up doing something that hurt you. I'm responsible for part of that pain - and I'm sorry for it."

Bel shook his head. "You didn't provoke me, unless you count just being...what you are. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm the one who needs to apologize."

"Bel... I'd be grateful for your apology. Really I would. But you were in predator mode, and I smelled like victim."

She looks down. "Okay, I always smell like victim. I know that. But it was worse that day, and... if I'd been stronger, you might have been able to control it. Waving my fear in your face... you're no more expected to ignore that than I would expect an alligator to ignore a lump of meat waved in its face."

"I don't think it would have mattered how strong you were," Bel said quietly. "It wasn't just that that...attracted me." But her fear made it all the more delicious, he wouldn't admit aloud.

Tara cocks her head, looking at Bel appraisingly. "So what was it?"

He didn't answer, but looked upward meaningfully.

Tara nods understandingly. Wordlessly, she offers him a slip of paper.

Cupping his hand over the paper so no camera could zoom in on what he was writing, Bel wrote:

It was because you're a witch.

Tara leans in to see what Bel has written, and gently presses his hand down to cover the paper once she's done.

"How about I buy you breakfast, Mr. Belthazor? To show you there's no hard feelings?" She also casts a significant look upwards. And to go somewhere we can actually talk.

"Yeah," he said, nodding. "That'd be great."

[ooc: I'm being called off to do RL stuff, and I suspect by the time I get back you'll be asleep. What day should we plan this for?]

[OOC: I'll be around all weekend, so whatever works for you. I may or may not be up when you get back, as I went to nap for an hour at 8:00 PM and woke up at 1:00 AM my time. But probably best to plan a time. :) ]
