Angel is more than a little amused when he reads the newspaper article. It's surprising that he finds himself impressed with Todd's golf club stunt on top of being grateful for Todd's help with the Emily situation.

He browses online and orders this to be sent to Todd's room with a note attached that says simply, "Consider me impressed. Angel."

It's a amazing what can happen in the span of becoming mortal and then being tossed from your Boston home to the Bridgehampton estate he shared with his wife. Hamptons are also a breeding ground for the gossip on well...everything in the social world. Hearing the news first from an older neighbor, he sought out a paper to read it for himself.

Hmph. Oh so impressive, eh 'Todd'? Shaking his head he reached for his cell phone and placed an order with FDT (oh come on, They use his picture...like he'd go anywhere else?), and placed an order for flowers (of sorts) to be delievered to Todd.

A card arrives with it, "So this is how you take care of your future wife? Tsk, Congratulations, Todd. Give my best wishes to Piper. ~James H. Weiss"

He was still groggy from the painkillers, which he didn't actually need but -- well, his insurance covers it and hey, free painkillers.

"Aww, sweetie," he muttered, "It's not like I need your help to kick the Osborn kid's ass. I save my powerful witch for the more important occasions."

[suey_generis]

"Shhh!" Don't say that so loud! They'll take away my painkillers."

He blinks.

"Somebody's getting married?" He is joking, though with the Percocet buzz, it might not show. "Oh yeah, it was in the papers. Whatcha talking to reporters for, honey?"

Todd gets no congratulations or concern from Kara Keating. She would like to take a golf club to his face at this point. What is it with people TRYING TO HELP and doing nothing but making it worse? Why can't someone just say to her: Hey, are you okay? instead of running around pulling shit like this.

Of course, she has no doubt that hitting people with golfclubs is far more entertaining than bothering to talk to her.

She calls him as soon as she sees the newspaper.

"I can't believe you did THAT."

[suey_generis]

"Aww," Todd yawns. "Don't mention it."

[kara_marie]

Okay. Not the reaction she was looking for.

"That WASN'T what I mean, Todd."

"Well, then, you gotta translate, kitten. I'm on Percocet. This drug is something else, man. I mean, it's no morphine, not to mention Orpheus, and what I could really use now is some laudanum. . .do you think you could sneak me in some laudanum? Do they make that shit anymore? No no no, better -- absinthe. You're a slayer, you must be able to get a hold of some absinthe."

When he answers the phone, Darla sounds amused and a bit exasparated.

Darling, you've been holding out on me. He's wealthier than you?

[suey_generis]

Darla is assuming that he has read the newspaper accounts

[tm_darla]

I got some free beach wear and Turkish coffee for Alan out of it,

Darla says lightly, then gets more serious.

And a solution that dealt with the girl, left my son in sane condition and Kara alive and uneaten, so the only complaints I had were about Harry Osborn's abominable sense of timing. I'd ask why nobody knows how to conduct affairs these days, but I'm not quite that much in a grandmotherly mode.

Back to teasing

By all means, run in California. You can do a better accent than that Teutonic ham any time, and I'm sure Piper would look gorgeous at the inauguration ball. Who'd do the actual work for you later - Alan's assistant?
