WHO Spike and Khan
WHERE Pickman
WHEN Mid-evening
WHAT Spike checks in on Khan
Status Ongoing
WARNINGS Very tired Khan. Talking about wars, death, being labrats, ect.

It had been a few days since Spike had heard from his new acquaintance, and although it was curiosity about the super-man that had reminded him of it, it was also a noticeable absense. Just before his shift ended he'd texted the relative stranger, inviting him to meet after he was relieved of duty.

At the end of his shift, however, there was no reply. Shrugging it off and paying his tab he started to walk home. At least it was early enough in the evening he'd get to spend some quality time with Darcey.

Still, as he turned to walk home he hesitated. Something felt... off.

Pausing on the cool street and lighting a cigarette he took his phone out again and opened it, dialing Khan instead of texting this time. He tilted his head and took a long drag before he picked up.

"Hey. It's your favorite undead Englishman," he smirked into the reciever, then exhaled. "Was just curious if you were up for that follow-up drink tonight."

Khan could very much relate to that sentiment on romanticism. He had always been very protective of those in his charge even when he sent them on life-threatening missions for the cause, and all of them had done monstrous things only to come home and switch gears into a large, relatively stable family unit. Even he had fallen in love before, to a woman long gone now. "Those two things are not mutually exclusive, no matter how much people wish they were," he agreed.

He smiled softly at the revelation that Spike had found a way to live in the daylight. "Love does make for innovative solutions to stubborn problems," he remarked. "For me, it was developing a sign language that my children could use and most everyone else could understand without needing to learn an entirely new communication system. They were both Autistic, but my son Simran was nonverbal about eighty percent of the time. My daughter Hira did a lot of translation for him."

	"Then you've got a chance to get to them, when you get back," Spike grinned cheerfully. He nodded to the little sleeper. "And this time your next empire can have it's own mascot." Which given his experience with kitten claws would probably terrify his enemies just a well as any dramatic battle-cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spike smiled and nodded. "You're right about that," he agreed. He thought for a moment, then nodded. "Right. Well, like I said, I'll be by in the morning with some food supplies. If you need anything else, or a hand with anything before then, let me know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course," Christine responded with a smile. "Thank you, Spike. I'll see you in the morning. Khan might be awake by then as well. You could finish your hangout without him being stupid tired." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spike laughed. "Oh, that just made it more interesting tonight," he replied, going to the door. "Goodnight, Miss Chapel. Karuna." He let himself out and closed the door gently behind him. Well, he'd certainly have an interesting story to tell Darcey when he got home, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent)
