[The camera pans down a long, red-gold fish tail lying atop a messy bed before flipping around to show Anya, looking rather annoyed.]

I don't know why that one cartoon mermaid wanted legs when she lived in the ocean, but I could certainly use some now. This is beyond inconvenient and I'm not even sure how I'm going to go to the bathroom much less leave the apartment.

If we were going to be changed into different species, I don't see why demon wasn't an option.

So get undressed. It's a simple solution.

action

[croceamors]

...Are you just trying to get my clothes off?

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Is that a problem?

action

[croceamors]

Just to make things perfectly clear, I wouldn't do anything sexual with you. Barry was simply to test something.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

I thought you enjoyed it.

action

[croceamors]

I did. I just don't see a reason to do it so much. Besides, I recently went through with something... taxing. I'm trying not to exert myself too much.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Something taxing - that wasn't thanks to these curses?

action

[croceamors]

It was a personal issue. It's been... partially taken care off.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Does this have anything to do with your missing heart?

action

[croceamors]

...Yes.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

You know, if you got it back, then I think you're doing remarkably well. I've seen that sort of thing drive people insane.

action

[croceamors]

That doesn't sound surprising. However, it seems to be a more... gradual process than something that happens all at once.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

I guess the sex didn't really help that along.

Re: action

[croceamors]

It wasn't particularly surprising to learn that. Still, it wasn't unpleasant. It also means Barry is something of an ally, although I don't expect him to be one of the best.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Why do you say that?

action

[croceamors]

Besides the fact that he did refer to his occupation as something of a conman, he also seems to be into things for himself. It would be foolish to rely too much on someone like that.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh. No, that makes perfect sense. That kind of person will only help you out so long as there's something in it for them.

[Anya knows because she is this sort of person. Sometimes. Not as often as she'd claim.]

action

[croceamors]

[Saix knew a lot of people like that, he won't hold it against her.]

Hopefully the sex will be enough of a payment for now. With his rapid healing, it doesn't seem like he's capable of any STDs so there shouldn't be any downside to it besides having to heal myself every now and then.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Sweetie, have you been having unprotected sex? I know plenty of places to get condoms.

action

[croceamors]

..The first time was somewhat unplanned, yes.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

And the times since then?

action

[croceamors]

[...His shoulders kind of... hunch up. Just a little.]

Every single time.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

You really should be more prepared. That coat has pockets, you could fit whole handfuls in there.

action

[croceamors]

I know, it simply... hadn't occurred to me. I suppose I still have a very immature idea of it all.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Everyone has to start somewhere. And at least you don't have to start with black magic and animal intestines.

When I have legs again, I can find you some literature on the subject.
