It was early and the apartment was quiet. But Eliot was okay with that.
Eliot had already been up and awake when Buffy got the news about Giles and left. He stayed behind, not knowing Giles that well and wanting to give her the privacy to deal with that, letting her know he'd be here for her when she got back.
Lindsey was still asleep. Buffy was out. Eliot was waiting.
He wouldn't make breakfast for a little while, no point in cooking food if he wasn't hungry yet.
He was taking the opportunity to try to do some light training. His strength was returning slowly, day by day. Tomorrow he'd go back to the training room and make it a proper training session but for today he'd just go through the motions. A few katas, a few cardio activities, pushing himself and his body and just trying to make this work. He had been down for the count for too long. That thing inside of him was starting to get restless and the End of Days was drawing ever closer.
He needed to get back in the game.
He was pushing himself hard this morning, trying to squash the uneasy feeling begining to naw at him from the inside. There was something wrong. Something very very wrong.
He just couldn't put his finger on what until he felt Buffy approaching.
He shook off the trainning mentality and sat perched on the back of the couch, watching the door. Whatever had happened it was bad, Buffy's approach felt like a coming storm.
