Drusilla hasn't been feeling to sociable lately and so she's been keeping to herself. She didn't go to the party- that would have been too many people for her to deal with at the moment.
The problem- the real problem- is her own lonliness. After so many years livingeatingfearinghurting with Angel, Spike and Darla, she hardly knows who she is on her own. They came here, for a while, all of them came and then all of them went. They abandoned her again. Because thats what people do in the end, she thinks, they abandon you. Why get close to someone if all they do is hurt you? Better not to get close. Better just to stay alone. That way you can't be hurt by anyone but yourself. On the bad days she can barely bring herself to go out for food, let alone go and work. Those are the days when she stays in bed and the wait rats bring her food and make sure she eats.
Today though- today is one of her good days. She's put on one of her elegant dresses and as it's been a while since she last worked she comes to the brothel. Drusilla settles herself in one of the comfy chairs with a pot of tea and a delicate china cup. She's brought her kniting with her to pass the time while waiting for clints. Should anyone want her, she'll happily put it aside to give anyone her full attention...
