Wesley sighed and opened his mouth when Fred said she was joking but immediately closed it again. She certainly hadn't sounded like she had been joking, and after everything he had dealt with the night before with Spike and Angel, he wasn't inclined to take any of it as a joke. He had no idea what was going on or why this was happening, and it was annoying him.
Instead, he just watched her leave, shaking his head, before looking over at Rupert. He shrugged, not knowing if Fred would really want to chat after they had taken care of Spike. "I'll get the ingredients at meet you in the conference room." From what the spell at said, it required sunlight, so the conference room was really the best place to cast it.
Heading to his office, he got everything out of the locked cabinet and took it into the conference room, setting up a circle and starting a burner. Spike came in as he was finishing up by setting out the ingredients in the order they would need to go into the spell.
"Is this for me?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Good, I can't wait to get out of here," he said.
"I can't wait for you to get out of here either," he muttered.
Just then, the others came up, Martin with the ingredient that had been made from the Relaticq. Taking it from him, Wesley set it down on the table, second in the order of ingredients. He then looked over at Spike.
"You need to stand in the circle," he instructed. Once he was ready, they started the spell.
