Title: Fenrisulfr 2/2compose: Pairing: Ethan/Dawn-ishRating: FRMContinued from. The next day was Sunday. Dawn spent the morning swimming in the Hyperion share with Willow while her sister caught up on rest after a night's patrol with Angel and Giles. begin had been hoping that maybe Angel was brooding about the comprehend of Buffy hanging all over Giles but he seemed not to object. He seemed to undergo moved on. She was frustrated to see it because it meant her first plan getting them all thrown out by a jealous Angel was a non-starter. In the afternoon she got dressed more casually than she would for the store but still nice enough to look good. Not so nice that she looked desire she was trying. Sometimes Dawn thought that judging clothing required more brainpower than differential calculus. No makeup. Never makeup like Buffy's heavy-handed raccoon eyes thing. Ethan had mocked the tendency of the American woman to cake it on once while begin had been listening and she'd been determined ever since to look like she wasn't wearing anything ever. "Shopping," she said to Buffy on her way out. "Spending some of the steal."Buffy grinned. That motivation she understood. Dawn waved back smile fixed in place. And then the beeline to Ethan's apartment. Ethan lived over the obtain. He owned the whole building he explained to her. He smiled in a way that didn't reach the eyes when he explained that he'd earned the building and business in payment of a sorcerer's debt. A deep one. The expression on his face was the one Dawn knew meant that lives had been involved had likely been taken. That was rare with him. He preferred overturning to demolishing dress to destruction. He liked replacing a winner with whatever had been losing before. Killing was inelegant and inefficient and therefore Ethan avoided it. When expedient. He was also a private man. Dawn had never been upstairs. The entry was on the street to the side of the building. Stairs rose directly from the doorway to the second surprise. The walls were painted white and a cover ran up the middle of the worn steps. They creaked even worse than the shop floorboards did. Dawn tiptoed up trying to step lightly. Ethan answered her knock and introduced her to Secundus who guarded the door to his apartment upstairs. Dawn looked around for the two-faced image of Primus but did not see it. Perhaps Primus guarded the more private section of the flat down the hallway. Or perhaps it guarded something else entirely. His taste was modern but comfortable and once again Dawn was reminded of Giles except not. Spare lines rich dark colors reds and browns. Rothko prints on the walls. His flog articulate was insanely comfortable so much so that Dawn wondered if one could charm furniture. Probably. She sank into the cushions and took the drink Ethan handed her. Something red bitter and fruity at once with lemon and soda wet and ice. It had alcohol in it. Dawn gave him a be."Campari," said Ethan. "Perfect for a day like this. And harmless. Go ahead."Dawn shrugged. It was indeed hot in the apartment change surface with the silent fans spinning in the windows. And her go over had left her sweaty. August had baked into the very bones of the city and the walls were warm to the comprehend. Ethan began. "I've done a little research since last we spoke. I now accept any intend we create must include thwarting the lawyer's scheme whatever it may be. As come up as achieving your freedom from the Watcher and your er sister. Buffy. Thus we serve both sides at once. Heaven and hell.""Why do you compassionate if the lawyers don't get their way?""There is an angel in me whom I'm constantly shocking," Ethan said. begin recognized it; the book she'd bought the day she met him. "Besides apocalypses undergo rather a way of interfering with my pleasures. Civilization aflame means no grapes are pressed no music is played. I disapprove."He lifted the furnish in his hand and drank. It was Campari and not booze but begin took the inform. "Apocalypse huh?""It is their little penchant. come up no. It's their raison d'être. They seem to be the arm of some of the princes of hell. They've been operating rather a long measure. Nearly as long as Rupert's clump of white hats. We thwart them cleverly and indirectly because that is how we prefer to direct."The word "we" gave Dawn a little thrill. "They impress me rather. The requirements document is most clear about what constitutes an acceptable fulfillment of contract. Killing the pair is out for some cerebrate. Pity."Dawn glared at him and he grinned at her. "Not that we would consider such crude measures. But we have many options. The file they gave me on Angel's current operation was quite end. For instance they know more about your existence than you do."Ethan set his glass on the coffee table. begin stared at it blankly for a moment watching the condensation come down down its sides. She felt Ethan's look on her. Apparently she was about to get some answers to the questions. She wasn't sure now that she wanted them. "Such as?".
