At Milliways, recovering

A new day, a new shot at life, another day of taking it easy and letting himself heal, of taking 'proper' care of himself. Doctor's orders include: No excessive drinking. Excessive sugar intake. Plenty of rest.

So, that's what Lorne's been keeping busy with. It beats thinking about Emma-Beth back home sweet Earth. So, nursing a big cup of thai chicken soup (sweet and savory), Lorne is carefully readjusting to life without his arm caught in a metaphorical noose.

Andrew was expecting to leave a note, but the flash of green in his peripheral vision means he doesn't have to. (Or doesn't get to. Telling Lorne in person may not be any easier.)

A pause to steel himself, and he starts forward.

A short nod, as he comes to a stop.

"The Council passed sentence this morning," he says without preamble.

He's tense and aching in almost every muscle, and in spirit. It was the only decision they could possibly have reached, and yet he has no feeling of resolution, of having reached a right decision.

No better alternative.

"She's to be stripped of her Slayer powers, and permanently banished from the Academy and any other stronghold of the Slayers or the Council."
stilljustandrew: (huh?)

"...wait, what?"

Of all the reactions he might have expected, this wasn't one of them.
stilljustandrew: (neutral)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"It’s not that simple," Andrew protests –- but that tension in his gut is starting, very slowly, to unwind.
stilljustandrew: (blue lit)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Andrew does move closer, but mostly because he's lowering his voice.

"If you're happy they didn't decide to kill her or wipe her mind, then yeah. But this ... it isn't gonna be fun for her. For anyone."
stilljustandrew: (contemplative)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
He pauses, and then gives a small but heavy sigh and slides onto the offered barstool.

"In the long run maybe she'll be okay. I hope so. But –- well, just for starters, the spell to cut her off from the Slayer line isn't ready yet. Mrs. Harkness and her wiccans are having to write it practically from the ground up. And until it's ready, she's got to stay where she is."
stilljustandrew: (weary)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nothing." That's flat, and heavy. "It was the best compromise we could come up with. And now we're gonna have a lot of people mad at us for going too easy on her, and I'm not sure they're gonna be wrong."
stilljustandrew: (standing ground)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah."

Blue eyes meet red, and hold steady. "Yeah, we did."
stilljustandrew: (sidelong)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," he says again, on a sigh.

Beat.

"The other Slayers got sentence passed too," he says, "the ones who assaulted you."
stilljustandrew: (weary)

"They've all been pulled off their field assignments and sent to the doghouse until further notice. Drudge work at the farm."
stilljustandrew: (oh puhlease)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-26 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not sure it covers 'attempted murder,' but..." He sighs.

And then in a completely different voice, sardonic and contemptuous and faintly accented, says "Oh, please. Do they give out the Nobel Prize for attempted physics?"
stilljustandrew: (well now let's see...)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2009-07-26 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Andrew's grin is a bit sheepish.

"Sorry. ...Anyway, yeah. There's probably gonna be people mad about that one too." A resigned shrug.
