Jenny's eyebrows rose. "Didn't expect that question." She leaned forward, her elbows resting on her desk and her coffee mug held up at about the level of her chest. "Valid one, though, I'm thinking, given our history, and hey. Kalderash."

She took a drink of her coffee before continuing. "I got the whole concept of vengeance with my mother's milk. And when I was older? Boogeyman tales. 'If you're not a good little girl, Angelus will come and get you.' Then I moved to Sunnydale and actually met you. You're not so bad a guy. So no, I'm not offended to see you doing things that make you happy."

"Just remember, I'm keeping an eye on you anyway. Another run-in with Angelus? Is so not on the agenda."

"I don't want to lose my soul," Angel promised. "But having a soul is more than avoiding perfect happiness. It's the things I do every day. Phale said accepting regular happiness when it's given should be a part of that. Which might be true. But so's trying not to cause more pain to the people I've already hurt. You're one of them. Figured I'd ask."

"Sounded more like you were thinking I might have a problem with you just because I'm Kalderash," said Jenny. "Glad it's not that. But--" She paused. "You're not causing me more pain, Angel. And believe me, I appreciate that."

"Thanks for being honest," Angel said. "Happy new year if I don't see you."

"You're welcome," said Jenny. "And Happy new year to you as well."
