[GP/EP] Check-In Day

[st_oriedqueen]

Why Caroline had needed her to help with Check-In Day she hadn't bothered to say. Just, "you said you'd help," and when Regina protested she wasn't good with people, "aren't you a Queen or a Mayor or something?" complete with shooing gestures. While Regina found Caroline more exasperating the terrifying, she did have a point.

So Regina suited up--literally, gathered her files and folders, coffee mug, pens and pocketed the wooden carving of Henry/Roland Robin had made for her, then headed for the cafe. If, polished and politic and patently Busy, she didn't offer newcomers the brightest or warmest smile when they arrived, it was nevertheless confident and quite possibly reassuring.

Caroline did friendly. Regina...did knowledgeable and polite. Dot and Ignis had been asked to provide finger food on catering trays. The still-grieving Miss Pryde had been tasked with samovars of tea and coffee and ice chest of soda and beer. Caroline's welcome baskets sat on the table beside Regina's for easy access. And though she didn't when she was alone in the office, Regina spent the magic to fix her eyesight so she didn't put glasses between her and new arrivals.

Madame Mayor was in.

"Having a good distraction will be helpful here." Buffy had to admit. "It can kind of get same old, same old." Or it could be that she's so used to going against demons and vampires almost every night and she hadn't gone against one at all since her arrival.

She smiled, "and then we get new arrivals like you, which makes for a nice change."

"Well, if there is a way that I can be a bit more entertaining let me know, I'm more than happy to be helpful." He smiled back at her. She seemed nice. Perhaps he was being too trusting of a pretty face with a kind voice but even he got tired of his own paranoia. "Or at least give someone something to laugh at. I'm told my magic tricks are very entertaining."

"Well I do love a good magic trick." Buffy had to admit. "My best friend is a witch. Willow has some good witch-fu moves. What's your specialty." She assumed that wizards had one.

"Witch-fu?" An eyebrow went up at that. "Uh, I'm a healer mostly. Where I come from mages are encouraged to take up healing, they say it makes us useful. They're less likely to take our magic if we're there to heal their gout, I imagine." And it had given him a way to support himself when he was on the run from the templars, at least until he had merged with Justice and left the wardens, he'd stopped asking for payment in return for healing after that.

Buffy had a confused look for a moment, "uh your magic can go away? Really?"

She wasn't sure if Willow's could but it was something that she'd have to ask Giles about when she got back (if she remembered). Plus, bonus if you could she would so take Ethan's away.
