This really isn't what I was expecting.
It had been awhile since I'd seen both Harmony and Angel leave the kitchen. I didn't know where they were now, but I was fairly sure the kitchen was safe. Rather than continuing to sit on the stairs and feel sorry for myself, I decided to get up and help myself to what little I was sure to find in the kitchen, leaving the stairwell and the

I looked up to see the kid from before... what's the name, Connor? And I'm usually good with names to, this'd be a real kicker to my reputation back at the club if anyone found out. Then again, I don't really have to worry about that for a while.
"Calms the nerves." I finished up a seabreeze. "I'd offer, but you don't seem like the type for them." Call it just a hunch on my part.
I drank some of it down, letting the alcohol do it's charm as I looked back to Connor. "If you're still up for the song kiddo, I'd like to satisfy my curiosity. Feel like humming a few bars?"
This kid didn't strike me as a singer either, but hey, who was besides the late greats nowadays I ask you?

"Yeah... I'm not a drinker," I admitted, shrugging. Personally, I thought alcohol tasted a little gross. Beer did, anyway. Maybe there was better stuff out there I just hadn't experienced yet. Whatever the case, now wasn't the time to start experimenting.

I feel bad for Lorne. He's going to end up with a major headache after this. Partly because I know I've got a pretty heavy destiny to take in, but also because I suck. Really suck.
I'm pretty sure I got that from my dad.
"Sure. I guess it'll be easier to sing before I try to explain things." Whatever he read would add some amount of credibility to what I would tell him afterwards.
Clearing my throat, I braced myself and sang the first song that came to mind.

Oh my aching horns.
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on...""Enough, enough." I didn't mean to cut him off like that, but boy do I get the gist. And a nice little train of memories that are slowly snapping back into place, and giving me one sweet mother of a headache. And suddenly, I'm going to need a few more seabreezes ( ... )

I felt my face get hot. Heavy as the situation was, I was still embarrassed about singing. It didn't take much to be a step up from Angel -- musically, anyway -- but I knew how horrible I sounded. No time for vainity now, though.
"Yeah, okay... um... can I get you some Excedrin or something?" Lame, I know, but I felt bad. Would Excedrin help a destiny-induced headache? I wasn't sure, but I felt like I should offer something for what I'd just put him through. At least he hadn't thrown up ( ... )
