Political Campaigning (Thursday, April 27, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh had brought coffee and pizza for the class. The walls were decorated with campaign posters for the three candidates and a phone in the corner was rigged to ring every two minutes.

Add it to the huge, practically sentient pile of papers on Josh's desk and it looked very much like a campaign office.

"Okay, guys," he said, smiling. "Today you get to show me if I've managed to teach you anything at all about campaigning." He sat down in his chair. "Grab some pizza and coffee and demonstrate how your guy is going to be the Senator from Montana come November."

"Can't wait to hear about your adventures," Josh said, taking the paper and putting it carefully away. "Might get in touch come the next presidential election--make sure the undead voters' concerns are being addressed by whoever we run after Bartlet."

He smiled and put out his hand. "It has been a pleasure getting to know you, Angel."

Wow, his actual name!

Angel smiled. He held out a free hand. "Same here, Prof. Lyman."

Josh shook Angel's hand, expression going more serious. "And I really do want to hear what you're up to. I think it's going to be something really important."

"I hope it is," Angel replied, just as serious. "I hope I don't let anybody down."

"If you never need help, just ask," Josh replied. "You know, not for anything with swords because that's not my thing, but..." he shrugged. "Anything else."

"Thanks," Angel said, sincerely. "I will."

"You'll be fine," Josh said firmly. "Good luck in LA."

Angel gathered up his things. "If you ever need a dead guy who is good with a sword - " he nodded at the card he'd given Josh.

"Until I came here, I would've thought that sentence was bizarre," Josh said with a grin.

"Come visit me sometime and I'll introduce you to the demon set," Angel said. "You know, safely. Some of them are like kittens. Not literally. They're taller."

"You promise me no karaoke and I'm there," Josh said. "I'll give you a call the next time I'm in town."

"I can absolutely guarantee no karaoke," Angel said. "Demon or otherwise. Assuming there is an otherwise."

"Which I'm inclined to doubt, personally," Josh replied. He grinned. "It's a thing, then. I'll be sure not to mention it to the pirate."

"Looking forward to it," Angel said. "I'll email once I've found a place. Keep you updated."

Re: After class--say goodbye to Josh

Josh made a little shooing gesture. "I'll see you soon, then. Now get out of here."

The smile on his face made it obvious he didn't really mean that statement harshly.

Angel grinned and went back to his room.
