Vivan sighs walking up and stretching as she hears pounding on her door. "Jesus Christ...can I get any beauty sleep...?" She sighs getting up in her shorts and tank top as the banging continues and mutters, "stop fucking the door Angel!" She goes over and opens it, she blinks a bit seeing the radio demon himself.

"Well dreary I don't believe I was fucking the door or that I'm Angel," Alastor says with a smile.

She sighs, "it's too early for your shit." She goes to close the door but Alastor slips in quickly as she shuts it.

He sets his staff down on her desk and snickers, "it seems you are trying to get rid of me."

She rolls her eyes, "Your just now noticing that?"

He snickers and looks at her, "maybe."

"God...," she sighs and goes to her closet. "What do you want?" She asks, seeming annoyed.

"Well I was hoping that you would care to join me and everyone for breakfast today, since you have been rather distant from everyone when I am around." He says as she pulls out a few clothes.

She huffs and looks at him, "Al. I'm distant because you pissed me off." She goes over to her bed laying out the outfit before going to the bathroom.

(That's her outfit!)

He follows her and leans on the door frame as she brushes her teeth. "Vivan I am sorry I upset and I wish I knew how I did... but until I remember I am willing to be kinder to you."

She spits out her tooth paste and rinses her mouth. She looks at him a bit upset, "What are you playing at?"

He looks surprised, "playing at?"

"Yeah. What the fuck are you playing at? I mean you can't just walk into my room and announce that you're gonna be nicer to me, without there being some shady ass benefits for yourself." She says pointing at him pissed off.

"I assure you that I have no ulterior motives," he says looking at her seriously and sympathetically.

She looks at him and in his eyes seeing his seriousness. She frowns and then goes up to him, "you are being completely serious aren't you?"

He looks down at her and smiles slightly. He looks over you enjoying her fluffy bed head. He hadn't noticed how much he actually missed seeing it, "I am."

She looks down at their feet and holds back a smile that was wanting to form on her lips. She wasn't about to let her feelings for him show. She takes a deep breath and looks up at him again with a straight face. "Alright...believe you...but I'm gonna keep my eyes on you." She says, giving him a stern look.

He chuckles, "I'm glad to know that your eyes will always be in me now."

She opens her mouth to say something then closes it and groans, "you're utterly ridiculous!" She huffs and goes around him walking to her bed to get her clothes.

He looks over at her standing in the bathroom doorway. "Many people think that about me," he smiles as he gets his staff. He goes to the door and opens it. "I'll see you at breakfast soon dear," he says with a smile and goes closing the door.

She sighs and smiles a bit now relaxing. She undresses and starts putting on her clothes as she gets ready she thinks over Alastor's words. "Why would he be kinder to me...?" She asks herself, pulling on her shirt and buttoning it. Maybe Charlie gave him another lecture about being nice...but that could be it since he seemed genuine she thought. He had looked at her the way he had when they were a pair, with love and sympathy. She smiles as she tucks the shirt into the skirt. "Maybe...just maybe Angel was right about him coming back if I let him go..." She pulls her hair up into a bun feeling a bit hopeful and then leaves her room.

Angel smiles standing outside her room, "Hey toots."

She waves at him sounding happy, "Hi Angie."

"You seem a bit happier than you have lately, and you're even dressed today," He chuckles, teasing her.

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head a bit with a smile. "Shut your trap," she teases.

He laughs, "Alright viv." The pair walk down the hall smiling a bit. "So what did el tell ya?" He asks curiously.

She sighs, "that he would be nicer to me."

He looks surprised, "really?"

"Yeah...and he wants to try to remember what he forgot he said to me like two months ago..." She says smiling hopefully.

He smiles but hides his now present worry. "That's great toots, I'm glad he is making an effort!" He says as they go down the stairs.

"I am too...honestly I don't want to get my hopes up about him since I'm afraid he'll just hurt me again but....I think I'll give into my hopes just a little..." She says with a soft smile as she gets to the lobby with Angel.

He frowns a bit, "that's good but don't give into them too much okay?"

She looks at him and nods, "I will try to but, I mean what's the worst that could happen if I gave into them? He'd hurt me again?" She laughs a little, "he'd never do that since he knows I'd double kill him." She smiles a bit and walks ahead of Angel.

He frowns worried and looks at her as she walks ahead whispering to himself, "what if he does hurt her.."

"Hey what was that?" She asks, turning to look at him and stopping at the door to the dining room.

He gives her a fake smile and waves her off. "Oh nothing!"

"You sure?" She asks curiously as she takes a step towards the spider demon.

"Yeah, you head on in to eat. I'll be there soon," he says waving her off.

She frowns but nods, "Alright see ya in there." She turns and walks into the dinning hall being greeted by the other demons and sinners in the room.

He sighs and pulls out his phone, "maybe me and Cherri should have a meeting..."
