[ from here ]

[ Angel...might sorta kinda know what that's about, but for now, he just wants to take care of her.

He wraps the blanket around her carefully. ]

Do you need anything? Coffee?

[enjoythe_ride]

Oh.

[She hesitates for a moment, before shaking her head.]

Never mind, then. I can find somewhere else.

[painbow]

It's okay, I can get you a place. It's just, I'm moving.

[ He may as well just spit it out. ]

Wolfram & Heart offered me a deal. I took it. With a few added stipulations.

[ She's welcome to take a wild guess at what one of them was. ]

[enjoythe_ride]

[Her eyebrows go up a bit at that, looking at him curiously, and then ... ]

Why would you do that?

[painbow]

Why wouldn't I save my wife from Hell?

[enjoythe_ride]

I .... I didn't think we were taking that seriously.

[painbow]

[ He looks down a moment, before his gaze returns to her. ]

I guess I'm a little old fashioned.

[enjoythe_ride]

[She rubs her arms gently.]

I just ... I'm not used to someone caring about what happens to me.

[painbow]

[ He nods. ]

If you want a divorce, I'll give it to you. You have your whole life ahead of you now. You should do what you want with it.

[enjoythe_ride]

[She's quiet for a moment, before giving a small shrug.]

I don't know what I want right now.

[painbow]

[ Another nod. ]

Then you're welcome to stay until you do.

[enjoythe_ride]

[She nods once before glancing up to the stairs.]

I think I should get some sleep. Is there somewhere I can do that?

[painbow]

Yeah, sure.

[ He leads her up the stairs, to the closest room with a bed. ]

I'll be downstairs, if you need anything.

[enjoythe_ride]

Thank you.

[And with that, she will take a shower and try to get some sleep. She might not succeed much, but she'll definitely try. /scene]
