Wesley was on the phone with his father when he received an offer. 

"Field experience? What do you mean by that? Outside of school, you mean?"

A pause.

"And then the Council might consider having me back?" 

As if anything else could motivate him.

He switched the phone to his other ear, scrambling for time. It was an offer he'd have jumped at months ago, when getting back to the Council was all he could think about, but now he had to give it pause.

Still, though...

"I'll do it," he said firmly after a pause. "Where would you like me to start? ...Los Angeles?" He wrinkled his nose, but reluctantly said, "Fine."

With that, he started putting his stuff together. Most of his things were back at Fandom, but he could always have them shipped to wherever he'd be staying, he supposed. In the meantime, he packed his bags full of his things, then sat down on the bed, head in his hands, and thought about the people he'd have to say goodbye to.

[door's open and wes'd be happy to say some awkward goodbyes to people if you wanna send them over, but this is it for him this term, unfortunately. it's been so much fun being in fandom these past few months and the time i've spent here has really meant a lot to me. hopefully wes'll be able to come back the next app period. in the meantime, thank all of you guys who've helped make this experience so amazing.]

Quinn glanced in on her way to the slopes. "How come you're packing right now?" she asked. "We don't leave until, like, tomorrow afternoon and I know you are not that fussy about your clothes."

So, so true.

"My father wants me to leave school," he said dully. "Rather an inopportunte time to leave, in my opinion, but I suppose it can't be helped."

Or something.

Quinn pouted. "But we're halfway through term," she said. "Homecoming's next weekend. He ... really doesn't care, huh?"

"I suppose not," Wesley replied, staring at his hands. "I'm - I'm meant to benefit from some time away. Get field experience, training, that sort of thing. I suppose I can't truly fault him for looking out for my best interests."

And hey, it wasn't like he was going to be a social butterfly at Homecoming, even though he'd been kind of looking forward to it a little bit.

"That is what parents are supposed to do," Quinn said, a trace of -- something -- in her voice, as if she didn't quite trust what she was saying. "So ... I get it. Will you be checking your email and stuff?"

"Well," he said, puffing up a little, "I'll be in Los Angeles. Working solo. A rogue demon hunter. I may be out of touch with technology, or in situations too dangerous to allow myself to be traced." He tugged on his collar, straightening it. "Provided, however, that the opportunity is there, I will be taking emails, yes. Though I can't make any promises."

Pompous Wes was pompous.

"So I won't wait by my inbox," Quinn said, a touch eyerolly about the pompousness, in a fond kind of way. "But if the school blows up, I'll make sure you know."

Then, after she'd weighed what she was going to say: "Don't ... you know. Get yourself killed. Or anything."

Yeah, that would be helpful. If the school blew up he should know about it before he tried to come back to a pile of rubble or anything. Thanks, Quinn.

"Thank you," he said sincerely to that last bit. "I'll do my best. And... the same to you."

Though he'd always kind of had a theory that cheerleaders would survive the apocalypse, so he wasn't too worried.

Quinn was a helpful friend to have like that. Especially given their school might actually explode.

"Thanks," she said, with a tiny smile. "I know you'll be an awesome rogue demon hunter guy." Or at least, she was willing to say it.

"So is this a hug thing, or is touching weird?"

Date: 2010-10-17 12:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com
Aww! So not what he'd been expecting to hear, and very cute.

"Thank you," he said, smiling. "And you'll be - you'll be fine in your singing club," he added in kind. "We can hug, if you'd like."

Weird, yes, but manageable.

Don't tell anyone, but Quinn could be nice sometimes.

"I know I'll be okay," she said, reaching out. "As long as nobody locks me on the roof."

... her nice moments were sometimes fleeting.

Oh, don't worry, his lips were sealed. Not to mention that he was about to head out to LA, where he'd be with the queen bitch of being nice sometimes.

"That roof incident was entirely your fault!" he laughed. "You came out after me, if you recall."

"You can remember it that way if it makes you feel better," Quinn said helpfully. (Patronizingly, really.)

Wes rolled his eyes. "Well. Make sure to double-check that the door is propped open the next time you go onto the roof, then," he suggested wryly. "Just to avoid future mishaps."

Mishaps that would be entirely her fault.

"I appreciate the advice," Quinn said, sounding as if she meant anything but. Still, she was smiling as she stepped backward toward the door. "So ... we'll be in touch."

"Oh, yes, certainly," he agreed.

Which kind of blew his mind in and of itself because he'd kind of always thought Quinn couldn't stand him.

"Have - have a good rest of term, then."

Please, she would have been much worse if she didn't like him.

"And have a good time in L.A.," Quinn answered. "Tan. Stalk celebrities. Do fun stuff, too."
