Wesley furrowed his brow in confusion when Fred started talking about her and Martin spending the rest of the day doing experiments in the lab. He knew that he hadn't been paying a lot of attention when she had left, but surely she hadn't said that. He would have heard that if she had.
Wouldn't he?
"Fred!" Wesley said, hurrying after her as she left the lab. Before he could catch up with her, though, he saw Lorne and Regan. After joining them, he leaned down to hug Regan once Fred had while Lorne hurried off.
"I've never seen a demon like Lorne before," Martin said as he and Rupert walked up.
"He's Pylean," Wesley told him. He took one of Regan's hand while she took Fred's with the other. "Came through a dimensional rift several years ago. He's an anagogic as well."
"Really? I've heard of anagogics but have never met one before."
"You should meet Lorne!" Regan told him. "He's the best. We spent the morning reading scripts for movies."
Wesley chuckled as they walked down the hall toward the lift. He hoped they could escape from the building without running into Angel or Spike again. He was sure those two were going to keep badgering them until they told them they had figured out how to help Spike so he could leave.
Before they reached the lift, though, Wesley stopped and looked over at Fred, sure now that she had been teasing him earlier. "You said something about experiments, love?" he asked with a smile.
