who. Weevil and Solvei
what. Trying to fight off angst!demons
when. Today
where. Solvei's

Weevil was thinking about what a mistake it was to get involved as he rode down the street. He was making friends with people who were making him care. He was becoming connected to the point that he had to go check in on Solvei. And Weevil preferred avoiding things like that. Especially with blonds. He seemed to have a soft spot for blonds. Turning a corner, he told himself he wouldn't let any more women, blond or no, into his life.

Still, he drove to Solvei's shop. He'd gone the night before, but she hadn't been around. He'd worried a little, but hadn't known what to do. It didn't seem his place to go after her. Solvei was a big girl who was going through a lot of shit. He wasn't going to smother her. He was just going to see if she was home and if she needed a drink. If he put it like that, it didn't seem so bad.

He parked his bike outside, possibly illegally, and entered the little shop.

"Damn it!" Sol shouted from halfway up the stairs once she heard the bell ring on the shop door. She must've forgotten to lock the door. Turning around she saw Weevil standing there and she came back down the stairs. She tried really hard to smile for him to let him know that she was glad that he showed. But she really couldn't.

"Hey. You wanna turn the lock and we can go upstairs? The person that I replaced had a lot of booze. Unless you wanna go out more?"

"I wouldn't have come here to just leave," he said. She looked bad. Which was to be expected. She'd had a kid one day and it was gone the next. That sort of thing couldn't happen to a woman without leaving a mark. Weevil locked the door and followed her up the stairs.

He had no idea what he was going to do here. Being comforting wasn't really something he was good at. He supposed his presence might help, though. He wasn't sure if she would feel better being alone or with someone.

Sol had bruises all over. She had just taken off the gauze from the bite marks on both sides of her neck right before Weevil had gotten there. To say that she looked bad was probably an understatement.

"We can watch tv or something. Or we can just drink a lot. Whatever." It hurt to breathe right now. If she was normal, she'd want to talk about it. But she wasn't and she figured if anyone could really accept that, it was Weevil.

	As Weevil made it up the last step, he caught a glimpse of Solvei's bruises. The welts on her neck caught his attention and he had to stop himself from staring. "Whatever you want," he said with a shrug. After a silent moment, because he couldn't stop himself, he asked, "You need to get that looked at?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh. No. I heal really fast. Some vamps almost got the better of me last night, that's all." Because she wanted them to kinda.

Walking over to the bar she grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels and poured herself a glass. "You want Jack or something else? I got beer in the fridge?" She'd never thought to ask him what he liked to drink. There really hadn't been a reason to before now.

"Oh. Okay." Weevil hadn't known Solvei long, but he'd never seen her bruised or beaten. He suspected she'd gone looking for a fight. Maybe for one bigger than she could handle alone. He could understand that sort of behavior.

"Beer's fine." Weevil needed to stay sober enough to drive himself home. And he figured it was probably a good idea to stay in control of himself. Just in case Solvei needed him to be.

Sol grabbed a beer from the fridge and twisted the cap off before handing it to Weevil. She was glad that he didn't ask for an explanation on last night. Not like she could say the same thing for Faith. She'd gotten the third degree from her.

Downing what was in her glass she poured herself another and set the bottle in front of her on the table before sitting down. "So, did you, uh, figure out what was going on right away?"

Weevil exhaled and almost smirked at how quickly she had downed her first drink. If she kept that up, he doubted she'd make it very long before passing out. Not that he minded. Maybe she just needed to get bombed and be a fuck up for a while.

"Been here long enough to know when shit's going down," Weevil responded after taking a sip of his beer. "M'sorry, by the way."

Sol shrugged when he told her that he was sorry. "Don't be. I should've known it wasn't real." It being the whole different life. The perfect life pretty much. Starting at an early age nothing really seemed to go the way she wanted it, or even needed it to go.

"I've really fucked things up Weevil." She ran a hand through her hair. "Like beyond fixing them, fucked them up."

	Weevil took a deep breath. His eyes were on the neck of his bottle. What the hell could he say? He wasn't going to lie and say that things would be rosy. Finally he looked up at her. "You sure it's really that bad?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"My finace? From my own world? The one that I had..." She trailed off she knew he was following her.

"I cheated on Kyle. With him. The night I came back. At the time I wasn't thinking and I was drunk and I just wanted something normal. Now, I don't know what to do. We got in a fight the next morning and we both said some things. I punched him." She looked down guiltily at that.

"Do you think I should tell Kyle?" She'd hurt Kyle's feelings so badly if she told him that she slept with someone else. Even if it was her fiance.

	Weevil gave Solvei a look that said, Please don't ask me to be your moral compass. He scoffed quietly. She'd fucked up, but it was understandable. Still, if his girl fucked around behind his back, he wouldn't have taken it well. "I don't know what you should do," he said after a minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sol downed the rest of her glass. "Yeah, I don't either." Now she felt bad for even saying anything to him and he probably thought the worst of her.

"We had the perfect life for that week. Then to come back... here." She tried to justify her actions to him. But he probably wouldn't understand. It wasn't perfect in normal people's standards but what was really normal.

	Weevil didn't judge. He didn't really have any room to do so. He didn't look at her any differently because of what she'd done. "It... fucking sucks," he said with a humorless laugh. There wasn't anything else to say about it, really. It wasn't fair. Life sucked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, kinda sick of it doing that." Sol was feeling restless. And she was feeling impulsive. "You wanna go somewhere we both have never gone to before? I haven't done the portkey thing yet since Kyle can fly and all." Then she made an 'oops' face. "That's kinda a secret." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dontcallmeeli 2008-07-25 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Weevil laughed quietly. "Who'm I gonna tell?" Nobody. He was good at keeping his mouth shut. "Yeah," he said. "Where you wanna go?" He rose and finished his beer in one gulp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sol smiled a little when he laughed. "I know. I trust you." She stood up too when he did.

"I don't care. Anywhere." She finished off her third glass and put the bottle back. Yeah, she was feeling tipsy but she knew it wouldn't last that long. Damn, slayer metabolism, she thought to herself.

"There anywhere that you've never been?" She remembered him saying that he was rich here and he grew up near the ocean. So she hoped that there was somewhere that was still interesting sounding to him.

	"I haven't been anywhere but Cali and New York." Before he'd arrived in this world, he'd really gotten much father than his neighborhood. He shrugged lightly. With all the leisure time he had and the wealth, he probably should have done the travel thing. But it hadn't really called to him. He was a man of simple taste. "You pick, anywhere's fine."

	"Alright then. Do you like Chinese food?" She raised an eyebrow at him and thought about maybe going to Hong Kong or something like that if he was up for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dontcallmeeli 2008-07-25 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Doesn't everybody?" He gave her a little smile, hoping that she would be able to recover from the blow of losing a kid and cheating on her man. If nothing else, he'd try to keep her mind off of her problems for a while. "We going to China or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, let's go to Hong Kong. We can also have sake. Have you ever had it?" This was exactly what she needed. To be completely distracted. Even if it was just an hour or two. "Plus, I can look at weapons. You wanna look at some slice and dice type weapons?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dontcallmeeli 2008-07-25 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I've tried it. It's probably better in Hong Kong than in a shitty bar in Cali." He started to head out, tossing his beer bottle into the trash. "I like weapons." He smirked as he held the front door open for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then you have one up on me again." She said referring to the ocean and the motorcycle ride and no having had sake before. After she stepped out the door she locked it up. "Why does that not surprise me?" She returned his smirk with one of her own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The nearest portkey wasn't too far away. Weevil checked over his bike, running a hand over the handle as Solvei locked up. He figured it'd be fine while he was away. If not, he had more locked away in a garage. "Because I seem like such a good boy, right?" When she was done locking the shop up, he started to walk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yep. Totally good all the time." They were walking together and she waited a beat before she added, "At being bad of course."

It wasn't that long before they were at the portkey. They both headed through it and after just a second they were in Hong Kong. Where it was busy and night time. She wasn't even sure what time it was but it looked like everything stayed open late here.

The sudden change of scenery was always a little jarring. Weevil hadn't used portkeys much, but he didn't really like the sensation. Being in a new place, though, wasn't quite terrible.

Hong Kong was different. Weevil looked around for a moment, eyes wide. There were lights everywhere. It looked a lot like Times Square at night. "Jesus," Weevil said as he turned a corner and saw brighter lights. "This is... different," he said articulately.

	The more Sol looked around the more wide her eyes got. Yeah, she'd traveled around a bit with Xand but no where that was like this. "Sake or weapons first?" She asked Weevil as they started to walk around looking at everything. There were lots of shops and people in the street rushing past on bikes, rickshaws, and cars. (Reply to this) (Parent)
