Room 406, morning

[izzyalienqueen]

After a late night in the common room, Isabel had slept in. After finally waking and getting dressed, she'd been on her way out the door when the phone rang. Forty-five minutes later she was still on the phone having a spirited discussion about men and the not-so-smart-things they can sometimes do with Maria.

"It was a last minute thing," she admitted. "Jack had to leave town, Willow and Peter were going to Peter's home, you were gone. I had the invite and I wasn't about to leave him alone, so I convinced him to come with me." Isabel grinned, "Fortunately he agreed, otherwise I would have had to hit him over the head and drag him through the portal."

Pleased with the way the flowers were arranged, she set them on the desk, then leaned on the back of the desk chair. "I'm still sort of grumpy. But I promise not to toss you out the window if you offered me a hug."

Greg tentatively headed over to give her a hug. "I am really, really sorry. Really. I don't have enough words for the sorriness."

"So what happens the next time the squirrels offer you booze?" Isabel asked, slipping her arms around his waist.

"I pull a Nancy Regan and just say no!" he said emphatically, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Good answer," she replied, stroking his hair. "You realize you smell like a distillery don't you?"

"I know. I slept in the tent and then ran here to apologize," he mumbled. "There really was a tent, by the way."

"I do appreciate that," Isabel smiled. "I was debating going to look for you. I just hadn't decided what I was going to do when I found you."

"Please don't use my vulnerable state right now as a good time to kill me. Though really do understand if you choose to."

"Nah, no killing or maiming. I'd get detention then and I'd hate to lose a Saturday." She pulled away, and shook her head at his rather sorry state. "Tell you what, I've got to run into town and then I need to meet up with Dawn to work on a project. Why don't you go take a shower and get some more sleep. We can talk more when your head isn't about to fall off."

Greg nodded, still looking contrite. "Okay. As long as you're not sending elves to off me in my sleep."

"Nope," she said cheerfully. "I do all my own killing when it's needed."
