But with them came memories of ten days where they hadn't been hers at all. She'd always said that she wouldn't choose to forget because her experiences were what made her her...but she'd be lying if she didn't admit, just for a little bit, that she might have liked the chance to be someone else for awhile.
Unlike Archie, she's got no awkwardness about waking up in his spare room. Over those ten days, he'd moved into a familiar place in her thoughts. He wasn't her brother anymore, but he was a bit like Geordie... someone she could trust. That much had remained.
Her hair is tousled when she walks out into the main room, and there are circles under her eyes from uneasy sleep these past few nights, but the smile she gives Archie when she sees him is genuine enough]
...Hey.

Jack Sparrow is married.

Does that count?
[and all the others, too. Buffy. Leona- no... McCoy. They'd been married, too, though not with the ceremony and the whole nine yards.]
It...it can't really count, can it? Getting married as part of a shift.
An experiment. [and there was another shock, a word she hadn't used in ten days. Because the Malnosso were experimenting on them...and she'd spent the last several days looking to them to 'save the day.'
That certainly left a bitter taste behind.]

[Jilly wasn't exactly fond of deities...and the realization she'd practically worshiped the Malnosso as such was unsettling]
Suddenly, I'm counting myself lucky.
[except, there was no suddenly about it. For ten days, she'd had a family. A real one. With no fake love or false marriages. Lucky was exactly what she'd been]

[He blinks.] We did have a good family, didn't we? Except for the dragon, I mean. We all got on.

[softly] We really did.

[a pause] Or is...I suppose. We stayed pretty close to ourselves, so he's probably not that different minus the relations bit.
