I do! Not often, but once upon a time I was a girl who knew how to have fun.

[Cordy sighs as she glances back over to the table and finding that Faith has definitely ordered more shots.]

I will probably regret it in the morning but when in Rome. Or Biloxi.

[redeems]

Do you still carry Aspirin around with you?

( At least there's that. )

Listen, I'm about done here. Do you want me there, or do you want to meet back in Baltimore?

[letsbe_clear]

As much as I enjoy your company, we're fine. I'll probably be back in Baltimore tomorrow night.

[It'll probably take him that long to get here from LA anyway, if he's driving.]

[redeems]

( Yeah, but, he also has friends. Not that he wants to leave his car. But, he can ship his car. )

I enjoy your company, too. ( Not that you asked. ) You need anything, you call, okay?

[letsbe_clear]

I will. I promise. You stay safe. I expect to see you in Baltimore when I get home.

[And with that she will hang up and make her way back to the table. Benny looks up from where he's been flirting with a nod. "All good?"]

Him? Yes. The witches of Los Angeles, not so much. But that's not our problem right now.

[madskilled]

Every LA witch?

( Was there some massive ... attack? ) Sounds like our deal.

[letsbe_clear]

I said it might be Gauntlet related also, but Angel seems to think it's something else. Something about the targets doesn't seem right to him.

[She shrugs.]

He's headed back to base, so there must not be anything to act on now, but we're going to keep an eye on it.

[madskilled]

Let me know if anything shakes out.

( She should probably alert Buffy to the Craft wipeout. )

[letsbe_clear]

[Cordy nods in agreement.]

So. Are we having more drinks, or are we being responsible since we technically have work to do tomorrow?

[Benny raises glances back to Faith and shrugs. He could go either way ... mostly because his metabolism is so fast it probably won't matter.]

[madskilled]

You could tap out, save your body from tomorrow's hurt, but I'm just getting started. And something tell me Big Ben here's on the same train.

( But, you have a hotel room, right, Cordy? )

[sandinmypockets]

[Benny glances over to Cordy and holds up the keys.]

You can take the car back if you want to go. I'll get an Uber or something.

[Cordy pauses, glancing from the keys to him to Faith, before she sighs and takes the keys.

"Be safe, both of you. Don't do anything too crazy."

But she's not here to stomp on anyone's fun.]

[madskilled]

( Yeah, yeah, maybe in the morning, Benny. )

Don't take my middle name in vain.

( She's smoothed out all edges and spikes, but she's still rough and tumble. If Benny thinks he can handle it, maybe let the guy. )

[sandinmypockets]

[Benny is certainly always ready to try. Benny watches Cordelia go, listening for the sound of the rental car starting just to be on the safe side, before turning his attention back to the woman in front of him.]

Should I grab us another round?

🎀 i think

[madskilled]

What do you think?

( YES )
