Jonathan. On his bed, awake. Staring at the ceiling. Bored.

*There's a knock at his door.*

*Andrew opens the door, and closes it behind himself. And stands there for a few seconds.*

Hey.

Jonathan looks at him sharply and sits up, attention caught by something in his face or voice.

"Hey. What's up?"

Uh. Couple things.

*Andrew leans against the edge of the desk, half-sitting on it.*

Anyone tell you about Faith?

"No, I haven't been... what? What happened?"

His eyes are intent on Andrew.

She kind of --

*He pauses, breathes out, breathes in again. His voice is flat.*

The front door opened just long enough for us to see. She was fighting a demon on the edge of a Hellmouth. Different one, not the Sunnydale one.

She dragged it in. Into the Hellmouth. She's trapped there now.

The response is instant and automatic.

"What can we do?"

*Just as instant, almost sharp:*

Apparently nothing.

*A pause.*

Sorry.
-- We tried. Tim tried my summoning spell, and that didn't work, and he tried a huge portal spell, and that --

Jonathan is shaking his head in denial before Andrew's even finished.

"No. There has to be some... isn't there?"

Dream says ...

Dream says she's going to get herself out. Somehow.

He told Tim to stop, when we did the summoning spell. Said it was making it worse.

Jonathan doesn't like it, but he nods reluctantly.

"At least she gets out."

Yeah.

*A pause.*

There's more.

jonathanparagon May 13 2005, 12:13:29 UTC
Almost resigned, now. "What?"

*He's not meeting Jonathan's eyes.*

When we saw her? The first time? Door opened just long enough to show us, and then closed. And I tried to open it again. To get to her, you know?

...And it opened. On the motel. Place I left from.

There's a long still moment, almost stretched, as Jonathan thinks over the implications of that.

Finally, dully, "Right."
