Self Defense

Duncan waits at the front. He takes attendance again.

"Okay. Same as last time. Stretch out. Warm up. Pair off, but make sure you pair off with someone different this time."

"Classes kicking your ass already?"

Jack shook his head. "I had a fight with Mom on Monday and it kept me awake. Then last night... I met my first vampire. I mean, first other than you, who doesn't go all monster-face and glowing eyes and sharp teeth at me." Jack shuddered in memory.

Not that Angel had really been asleep, but now his attention was fully on Jack. "Vampire? Who was it? What did they look like?"

Jack made a face. "Little blonde. All wispy and fragile-looking. Until the teeth came out."

Angel got quiet. "Don't suppose she went by the name of Darla?"

"We didn't exactly get around to names, but when I described her to Parker, that's what she said. Um, and that you kind of knew her."

"She's the one who made me," Angel confirmed. "At least, a version of her did in some dimension. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. No biting. She just threatened to kill me and I ran like hell. And she laughed. And thus... no sleeping."

"I'm sorry." Angel rubbed the back of his neck. "Did she say anything else? Was this a deliberate killing or was she just hungry?"

"She didn't say much. She asked me to walk her home, all little-girl-lost, I asked her where she lived, and she said this is where I died. And that's when her face did the changing thing. She didn't call me by name or anything. And hey. Why are you sorry?"

"Over-arcing sense of guilt about the fate of the world and everyone in it?"

Jack grinned faintly. "Get over it."

"Well okay, but what am I going to do with all that free time?"

Jack's grin became distinctly less faint. "Take up a hobby. You know, like... macrame. Or underwater basket weaving."

"Well... I don't need to breathe. Guess that last one could come in handy."

Re: Attendance

"Really? Not-breathing could come in handy sometimes. For certain talents."

Re: Attendance

[identity profile] notstakedyet.livejournal.com 2006-01-12 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh. Really? Never thought about it." Angel grinned.

"Uh-huh. I'm sure you've never thought about it. I, however, think about it a lot. It takes a certain amount of control, and concentration to do it right."
