10. [backdated to Sunday night]

[guiltapalooza]

I can feel the virus ending, and I'm a sentimental sap, so I'm leaving notes for a couple people. If I didn't leave you a note, I'll see you in four years, I guess. Well, I'll see everyone else in four years, too. I think I'll just... write them now.

[What's Oz supposed to do here? Responding with an 'I love you too' would probably just confuse her, and give away what her future self had written to him, which he can't even fully translate for himself, never mind present-Willow. So he decides not to mention it at all.]

So that's what a virus is like. Huh, I can see why most people wouldn't want them to happen too often.

[guiltapalooza]

Yeah, this is not a day of joy and gladness, [she answers, voice strained from her headache.] I think I need an advil.

What about you? Was there a virus Oz and resulting headache?

[usuallylaconic]

[He goes and gets her some advil.]

No, surprisingly, which honestly disappointed me a little--here I was preparing for it all this time, and then it skipped right over me. I haven't decided if that means I'm lucky or not. [Because it could mean that he... has no future, or something like that :|]

[guiltapalooza]

Oh-- that wasn't a... [Offers him a weak smile as she takes the advil and water from him.] Thank you.

I would take it as a sign of luckiness. Though maybe it means the one you do get hit with will be even worse. [Short pause.] Um, or not. It could be-- it could be a good one! You never know!

[usuallylaconic]

You're welcome.

[He just... raises an eyebrow] Oh, well that's reassuring--I didn't know there were good ones.

[guiltapalooza]

That's what I've heard. I guess we'll have to see for ourselves.

[She downs the pill with a gulp of water, drinks a bit more than necessary to see if it'll help her headache, and then sets the glass aside. Willow reaches out for his hand.]
