cleveland } { honey, i'm home

[letsbe_clear]

[Naturally, Buffy calling to tell her that Dean made it to Cleveland is an invitation. One, because this is Buffy and when is a conversation with her not an invitation to troll her life, and two, she needed to keep an eye on her champion. She couldn't really do that from a diner in the middle of nowhere, now could she?

So this is Cordelia, bouncing up the stairs to the house that Buffy had left her with, and knocking on the door. It's the middle of the day. Someone should probably be home.]

[She laughs.]

She's just ... dedicated to her job. She's got a purpose. Without it, everything else seems kind of lame.

[a beat]

Have you told her this? You know, in a calm, reasonable, not-biting-her-head-off sort of way?

[verymature]

... kinda? [if it wasn't obvious that he was lying just by the way he sounds, the fact that Sylar shifts uncomfortably is probably a dead giveaway]

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

[She glances to Sylar before smirking slightly.]

Cordy's going to be sticking around for a while. So discuss this with her like an adult, and I'm sure she'll ease up. Otherwise? I stick you back in the house with the rest of the Slayers.

[and he will never sleep again.]

[he really has no idea that Sylar is a human lie detector, but he's going to shoot him a dirty look anyway. Sylar, on the other hand, just looks fairly amused]

Okay, fine, Jesus.

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

Goo -- yeah?

[Cordelia comes back on the other end of the line and Buffy nods.]

Yep! I know exactly where that is. Thanks, Cordy.

[and with that she hangs up.]

Ready to go beat up a demon?

[verymature]

Like you have no idea, sweetheart.

[because after being told to play nice, he could definitely use something to shoot]

[kiss_evilgoodbye]

Excellent.

[and with that, they go off to beat up a chaos demon.]
