Helen had been topside from the horrible place for a few days and Xander's heart had finally stopped racing whenever she was out of his sight. Granted, he wasn't too happy that she was out at the Club drinking with Luthor, why was it always Luthor, but at least she knew she was safe. And while he didn't get the drinking, he knew this was something they needed to do.
But it did give him the chance to work on a few personal projects that he'd neglected in his worry and then in his reunion with Helen. So there he sat on the porch, forming a piece of wood in his hand with one of his woodworking tools, waiting for her to come home to him.

Date: 2011-08-03 05:24 am (UTC)He thought to what he had told Xander about Terre d'Ange. A great deal, while eschewing most of his personal history. Though Xander knew that he had died, he did not know it was murder. And though he knew what a Servant of Naamah was, he did not know that Alcuin had been one. At the time it had been out of respect for Giles, unsure whether he would want Xander knowing that his lover had once been a prostitute. And since then, the issue had simply never come up.
"But you will not offend me by speaking of love. Love as thou wilt, hmm?" He smiled.

Upon realizing they had company, Saffron broke out into a wide and bright grin. "Alcuin, what a pleasant surprise!" she gushed. "I'm so glad to see you."
Kicking off her shoes, she went over to Xander and sat herself right in his lap. "Hi, baby," she said, soft and adoring, before she kissed him hello.

Which only grew as he looked up as Helen approached. He'd half stood to help her but was forced back down into his seat as he suddenly had a lap full of Boss Lady. And he was very glad of the conversation he'd just been having with Alcuin because he didn't feel bad about returning Helen's wonderful kiss right in front of him. "Well, looks like you and Lex had a good time."

Date: 2011-08-09 02:50 am (UTC)It was very tempting to fall into the intense gaze being set on him but Xander was more polite then that and also looked away when Alcuin spoke. “Please sit. You don’t have to go just yet. Always welcome means always welcome.” While he wanted nothing more than to follow through on the look Helen was giving him, he’d been serious when he’d said he wanted to help Alcuin, even with just simple company, and running him off wasn’t the way to accomplish that.
