"I know, I know...I told you, I try to save 'em for emergencies anyway." Van said as he looked at his hand with a worried look in his eyes. "I'm just worried is all...What if I do lose my powers, then what happens? Best case scenario, I'm just a mortal again and my short life goes on. Worst case scenario, I'm mortal again and all these years I've spent enjoying life when I should've kicked the bucket ages ago catch up with me, and I shrivel up and die on the spot."

Mala held an even more worried look on her face than before. "Van, we aren't going to let that happen. I'll be DAMNED if I do. If something does happen to you, though, I'll yank you right back out of the afterlife." she said with a determined voice.

Van couldn't help but smirk a bit. "'If something does happen'? As in, we very well might screw up? Thanks for the vote of confidence!" he said wrapping his arms around her suddenly and pulling her into a hug.

Mala wrapped her arms around Van as well, her expression softening quite a bit. "What can I say? I have to plan for both scenarios, don't I?"

"So you've already got things worked out? You have your map to the underworld all ready and waiting should my soul to be saved?"

Mala rolled her eyes at Van's clear sarcasm. "No, but I'd get you out of there one way or another." she said, tightening her grip on him slightly.

Van felt Mala tighten her grip on him and sighed. "Sorry, I'm...just scared. First time in a long while I've actually been worried about dying, you know?"

"I understand that." Mala stated, resting her head on his shoulder as they talked. "However, I want you to realise that I'll do everything I can to make sure that everything turns out fine in the end."

"I hope so, otherwise one of us might wind up being very lonely in the future." Van said as he pulled her in a little closer. After so many times of giving Mala comfort, for once it was her comforting him for a change.

"Don't worry so much, okay? Everything's going to be alright. We should just do what we normally do, proceed with caution while making the best of whatever horrid situation we're in." Mala said in a soothing tone, or an attempt at one at least.

After a rather soothing moment, Van rearranged himself so he could rest his head on Mala's shoulder. "Hm, I think I should have a mid-life crisis like this more often. This is nice."

Mala smiled slightly, moving on hand up to stroke his hair. "You don't have to have a mid-life crisis to have a moment like this, y'know. Just come to me whenever you want it and I'll be there." she murmured.

Angel had been thinking adorably, but she now looked at Riley and said, "Don't worry, I'll do all the hard work. All you have to worry about is keeping me chained down tight, and don't let me anywhere near Jezebellun until I don't fly into a murderous rage when I see her, 'kay, baby?"

Van smiled slightly as he cuddled up with Mala, finding the hair stroking to be surprisingly relaxing. He was always being the big tough man all the time, it was nice dropping the routine for a change. "Mm, wake me up if anything important happens..." he said with a yawn, his previous exhaustion and interrupted sleep finally catching up with him.
"Alright. How far away should I take her?" Riley asked, managing to have calmed down somehow.
((Almost midnight. On that adorable note, I'm going to bed. z-z ))

{A'ight. Goodnight~ ^.^}
"Mmkay." Mala mumbled, holding him close as she continued to stroke his hair and keep her gentle gaze on him as she cuddled with her sleeping love. Van seemed to be much more peaceful in his sleep than he did in his little panic earlier, which relieved her greatly.
