NGL, Elyssa, this makes me want to rewatch S4 EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW MY HEART CANNOT HANDLE IT. ALSO HI, HOW DO YOU WRITE LILAH SO WELL? HOWWWW? Every line is perfectly her, and it's gorgeous.
This is a survival tactic well taught at Wolfram and Hart. So, they do their too-familiar dance; she bites, he bites, and much to her dismay there’s no literal biting, but she goes back to the hotel with him and she has to smirk at it, the whole gaggle of them wandering and lost and not a single person looking the other in the eye for more than an instant. She likes that. She likes that a lot. What she doesn’t like is what everyone keeps talking about, her guilt, guilt they see because she escaped the Beast, and she escaped the Beast because of Wesley, and she doesn’t like the way everything these days keeps circling back to Wesley. His name tastes sour and sweet on her tongue, and she keeps bleeding.
