There was a brief pause. Angel had never actually thought specifically about it before; no one had ever given him cause to do so. Though Buffy had, on occasion, come to him for her history homework which he had to admit, he didn't mind. It was one of the few times he could talk to her safely about the past.
"Well." He shifted. "No, not usually. But you know, if you really want to know more, you could ask to see the dictionary the next time you're in the library."
Albedo had mentioned having no books. Angel suspected the library in and of itself might make his day even more. It wasn't bad, that Albedo found everything here so fascinating, but it was a bit worrying at the same time that the boy appeared to have so little investment in his own life. He was awfully young. Still, with his comment about his home being with people, maybe he used to have someone who looked after him back home.
Though apparently, whoever those people were, they weren't here with him. Angel hadn't ever been around others that much, but Albedo wasn't wrong, in a way. He'd staked out L.A. as his territory from the start, but Cordelia and Wesley were the only reasons he might actually agree to calling it his home.
"Sometimes the people you know, they show up later," Angel offered. It was the truth, even if he left out the parts where a) there was just as good a chance that they wouldn't show up and b) sometimes they vanished without a trace in a matter of days. "Not everyone arrives at the same time."
