Xander's room at the Arms, early Thursday Morning

[needsaparrot]

Right, this wouldn't be Xander pacing around, worrying about Bridge and Z and cursing the lack of new news, in between poking verrrrry carefully at the old news in his in-box in case something jumps out and bites him. Which hey, Fandom, always a possibility.

He was also hoping he might hear from somebody who'd be likely to understand how completely fraxx0red his brain was right about now.

"We met the other day," Willow said. "She's from the future."

[needsaparrot]

Blink. Blinkblinkblink.

But also with the processing. "So maybe it's not crickets, after all."

"You have crickets from the future?"

It was Fandom. Weirder things have happened.

[needsaparrot]

"Not with me. But there were some in the server last year. Made it look like a whole platoon of Slayers had suddenly appeared in the middle of the Vatican."

"Oh." Willow tried not to look disappointed. "Well Mel's not a cricket. Not as far as I know."

[needsaparrot]

"Good to know; at least I can put that much in my report. From future, not cricket." He was serious. Though he did have enough self-awareness to add, "...Our lives are different from other people's."

"My boyfriend's a king from a land of talking animals that exists in a closet," Willow said, by way of agreement.

[needsaparrot]

Xander decided that "And your girlfriend's a vampire Slayer," would probably not go over well at this point, so he stuck with, "Peter's a king? I thought he was a knight. Did he jump three pawns and a bishop or something?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"He was always a king," Willow admitted. "And an Emperor. He just doesn't like to brag about it."

[needsaparrot]

"Knight, king, emperor... Talking animals don't have much of a budget for government positions, huh. He must multi-task really well."

"His brother and sisters help," Willow said. "They're all royalty. Peter's High King though. And not to be shallow but he looks really good in the outfit."

"And now I know what to do with those annoying little referral subsription cards that come with the monthly issue of Men In uniform. You get a late Hannukha present, I get a discount when I renew, everybody wins."

"Xander," Willow scolded, even as she blushed. "It's Peter-specific."

[needsaparrot]

"Try that one on somebody who didn't grow up watching Bitterwoman with you," he teased her.
