Faith smiled as she watched Angel cook the steaks. When he mentioned Wesley, she felt a little guilt run through her, as she remembered the day she had tortured Wesley. She quickly cleared the thought, as she turned to Connor.
"Want to help me make Mashed Potatoes?"
She began pulling the milk, butter, and potato flakes out of their various places, and went to finding a bowl to mix in, as well as a mixing spoon.

Andrew hefted himself up on the guy's hand, and dusted himself off. "What are you doing here? I thought you were still at the mansion." Out of the corner of his eye he saw three guys barreling around the corner, almost as fast as Atticus had been. He cocked his head and watched them for a second. One of them, the shortest, looked around, throwing his head back and forth violently and pointed at Andrew, saying something to the two next to him. "Me?" he said to the far-off man. What would they want with him? Then, he realized he was being an idiot. No, not him. Atticus. And they didn't look very happy.
"Run." he said simply, grabbing the almost-stranger's hand and sprinting in the other direction he had been walking, dragging Atticus behind him.

"That's what I was doing..." Atticus mentioned as he sprinted after the Little Guy, keeping up with him easily. Holding hands with his was even more awkward, so as soon as they got to running, Atticus pulled his hand away and ran next to him on his own.
"Where we headed? Back to the mansion?!"

"Why are they after you?!" Andrew asked, ignoring Atticus' question. The obvious should of been clear anyways, as the giant building loomed into sight and readily approached. Faith had wanted a training session? If these guys followed them all the way there, she'd at least get a work out in. Well, at least a little exercise, not to mention danger and Atticus, certainly cleared his head. He could deal with whatever feelings he had about Anya later.
After all, that worked so well for him in the past. 'Shut up,' the Little Guy told himself.[[[If the dialogue is colored but not bolded, it's thought. ♥]]]

"Questions later, Little Guy, okay?!" Atticus shouted as they came to the gate to the mansion. Atticus ran inside with Andrew and closed the gate behind them. He stepped back a little bit, looking at the three men slow down to a walk.
They looked at the mansion, then at Atticus, and then turned and ran off. Atticus was taking deep breaths from the running, and because he had to admit...he was pretty scared. There was only one thing he was scared of...and that was...
He shook his head and turned to face Andrew. "Thanks for the help back there..."

Andrew was panting, and swallowed to speak. "Oh, sure thing... just be careful, ok?" he gave Atticus what he hoped was a meaningful look, although it was more of an invading gaze. He turned slowly on his heel and headed back up to the mansion, then hesitated and turned back around to face the demon hunter. "It's snowing, pretty hard, and they might come back looking for you... do you want to spend another night here?" he shrugged, a little half-heartedly. Maybe he was a little gay.((snort and ******** die rotf!!))

Faith disappeared from the kitchen, after sticking the mashed potatoes in the microwave. She went to the front door, and glanced outside noticing the three men walking away, and what appeared to be Andrew and another guy talking.
She stepped outside, closed the doors, and semi jogged down to where Andrew was.
"Everything ok, Shorty?"

The offer to stay at the mansion again...he saw that coming. Actually, he was hoping for it. He sighed with relief.
"Yeah...that would be great." Atticus mentioned, walking up to him and patting him a little hard on the back. Awkward...but he owed this guy something, even if it was a simple thank you.
A girl came running out toward Andrew, asking if everything was okay. Atticus was a little shocked for a second. Was this girl Andrew's girlfriend?! This Little Guy? From the way the woman spoke, it didn't seem like it, but things surprised him lately.

Faith looked the strange guy over, and then extended her hand to shake his, smiling a bit. "Hey I'm Faith. I saw those men leaving and Andrew out here looking like he was dying cause his Bobo Fett figurine ran off on it's own. Is everything ok? Who were those men?"((again miss michelle has snorted and died ROTF LMFAO!!!))

The blonde turned to Faith and nodded. "Atticus is going to stay another night." When she asked about the three men, he shrugged. "No idea. It looked like they were angry though. Like, stabby angry." Andrew turned to Atticus, looking him at expectantly. "If we're going to keep putting you up, you should really tell us who you are. Mr. Mysterioso is cool, but I mean." he lost wherever he was going, so he just put his hands in his pockets and waited for an answer.

"I'm Atticu..." he had started as he shook Faith's hand, but Andrew had already started explaining a few things so he felt no need to say anything else until Andrew mentioned him explaining himself.
"I'm a demon-hunter...they were...demon puppets...to put it mildly. What more can I say?" Atticus mentioned, shrugging. "All I know is it's not very safe at my apartment anymore...considering it's mostly destroyed but...eh..." Atticus shrugged. "...This place seems much more...fitting." he smiled to show his good humor.

Faith nodded to Andrew, and then turned back to Atticus. She glanced around once more for the men, but found them gone.
"Come on in then, Atticus. We'll get you settled and then we can talk.We're in the process of making dinner."
She turned back to Andrew.
"Andrew,did you get a good look at those men? When we're done with dinner, we'll talk to Buffy and see what she wants to do."

Dawn was glad that the shopping was done and was glad that someone else was doing some cooking. She looked around and saw just how busy the kitchen was getting and also saw some people that she didn't know yet. There was a green man who looked nice and interesting and another guy talking to Xander. She waited to be introduced.

Andrew shook his head. "I would of but, um, I was more concentrated on running." He walked through the front door and beckoned in Faith and Atticus into the living room. He was pretty sure that Faith wasn't preparing dinner with the rest of them, so they might as well talk now. He sat down on a sofa and waited for the others.
