Summary: Eliot denies Council Membership
Word Count: 365
“Is Eliot a member of the Council?” Parker asked Nate, who just shrugged.
Lindsey smiled to himself. Parker had no idea what she was talking about. Eliot might have been a member of the Watcher's Council for a while and may still be but that Council, despite all it's flaws hadn't ordered any wars. They may have started some both on accident and on purpose over the years but no government took orders directly from the Watchers.
Eliot smirked to himself. Sure he had worked for the Watcher's Council retrieving items for them from time to time but he wasn't a member. They had offered him membership ten years ago, but he had turned it down. It was a good thing he had because two years latter the whole Council save two ex members were dead. He hadn't known exactly what all the Council did until he had met Buffy and the newly reformed Council. She had again offered him membership but again he turned it down. Now he watched out for Slayers and their Watchers and help where he could.
“No, I'm not a member of any council,” Eliot said as he looked Parker in the eye. “We have a General to steal.”
Parker left. “That was a fine line, cous,” Lindsey said.
“What? I'm not a Watcher. The fact that I have occasionally worked for them and been asked twice to join them doesn't mean I'm a part of a Council,” Eliot explained. “Besides they don't order wars.”
“At least not ones between human governments,” Lindsey said.
“Exactly,” Eliot said. “How about you? You a member?”
“No. Buffy isn't that crazy,” Lindsey said. “If Spike or Angel ever found out I was still alive, I wouldn't be for long.”
“Oh? You got on the wrong side of the Vampires with Souls,” Eliot teased.
“Have you ever faced them when they actually get along?” Lindsey asked.
“No. Nor do I want to,” Eliot said. “I'm sure I wouldn't want them hunting me.”
“You don't. They would if I became a Watcher. Plus Wolfram and Hart would find me. So no Council membership in my future,” Lindsey said. “How about we go after that General?”
