Room 406, All day

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel made a quick pass through the common room kitchen to fix up a plate of healthy snack food then returned to her room to spend the day trying to keep up with the reading for all her classes. As she settled in with the reading for Interstellar Relations, her mind wandered to something she'd noticed in yesterday's Ethics class. Reaching for her phone, Isabel left a quick message, before opening her book and beginning to read.

"You'll have to keep saying it until she believes you," she said. "When you said it before, was that when you wound up having the whole conversation about her kissing people?"

[demonbelthazor]

"That was the first time," Bel admitted. "The second time was just more of the same I guess."

"Then I guess in her mind you're not getting the reason why she's upset," Isabel said. "You're going to have to show her that you understand why."

[demonbelthazor]

"Demon relationships aren't like human ones," Bel said, scratching his head. "I have a lot to learn."

"I figured as much," she nodded. "I guess it's more about power then respect and communication?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Right," Bel said. "I've been at this for a year now, though. Homecoming is our anniversary."

"If you've made it a year then obviously you're doing something right," Isabel smiled. "So congratulations."

[demonbelthazor]

"Thanks," Bel said, grinning. "I suppose I should do something special that night, huh?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Very special," she agreed. "Romance, flowers, the whole nine yards. I know it's what I'd like. Cause secretly I'm an incurable romantic."

[demonbelthazor]

"I need to come up with some money for this," Bel said, rubbing his chin. "I don't have much of an income anymore without the Underworld supporting me."

"See that's where you're wrong," Isabel said, shaking her head. "You don't have to spend a lot of money to make things special. Use your imagination. Make up a CD of her favorite songs, bring her breakfast in bed. Give her a nice massage. It' not how much money you spend, it really is the thought that you put into it that matters most."

[demonbelthazor]

"What about shiny things, like a ring or necklace?" Bel said. "I want to get her a real present."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh don't get me wrong, shiny things are nice to. But what's most important, no matter what you do, is the thought that you put into it," she explained. "Like what I did for Greg back in July. Did you ever notice the tattoos I did around my ankles then?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, I think so," Bel said. "I don't know if Phoebe would appreciate it as much," he added with a wink.

"Since she's not a chem geek, no I don't think she would," Isabel chuckled. "But the point is, it was my way of saying I was falling for him in a way that was special and unique for him. Maybe you can do something magic related for her. Although given how spells usually turn out around here, maybe that isn't such a good idea."

[demonbelthazor]

"Something magic, yeah, I might be able to swing that without a trip to the Underworld," Bel mused. "And I've got plenty of time to think something up."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a plan then," she said. "Just make sure whatever you do isn't going to go whacky on you. If I wind up thinking I'm a cat or something weird for Homecoming, I'll going to be looking for you. And I won't be happy."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll be careful," Bel promised. "Really." He stood up. "I better go find Phoebe and talk to her."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yup, make sure she's happy before she goes home," Isabel nodded. "Thanks for stopping by."

[demonbelthazor]

"And thanks for thwapping me," Bel said with a rueful chuckle. "Guess I needed it."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you did," she said cheerfully. "And I'll do it again if you need it. Okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Okay," Bel said. He headed for the door. "I'll let you know how it goes."

"I'll be waiting. Good luck!"
