[slaying]

[It was a pretty average day. Still not strong--but feeling better--Buffy bustles around the house. In fact, she's made some soup for Kirk. After all, it was the tried and tested remedy for all ailments. And...after the state he was returned in. Well

[jewelsummoned]

Oh Buffy.... I'm so sorry.

Will you be all right?

[slaying]

I'll be--[huff]--I don't know what I'll be.

[jewelsummoned]

Would you like someone to come stay with you?

[slaying]

I think--someone's coming. I mean, thanks. For the offer. But I don't want to get all blubbery on you.

[jewelsummoned]

Not at all... I wouldn't mind. What kind of friend would I be if I did not listen?

If you need me, please let me know.

[slaying]

You're way too nice. Major nice points. Right there, for you. [The Buffyism takes on a kind of hysterical insistence.]

[jewelsummoned]

Well, thank you for the compliment. [Oh Shiva, poor Buffy.]

Perhaps you should take a seat. A cup of tea may help you settle down.

[slaying]

Tea. Right. That's something I can handle. I'm pretty sure.

[jewelsummoned]

Take a few deep breaths first.

[slaying]

[Right. Remembering to breath. That's important.]

I just...I never got the chance to say goodbye.

[jewelsummoned]

Yes... that is horrible. Losing someone without saying goodbye is always incredibly hard.

But perhaps it is only a 'see you soon', rather than a goodbye.

[slaying]

[But here was the clincher.] He...wasn't from my world.

[jewelsummoned]

[Oh dear.] Oh... goodness. Forgive me, I didn't know.

[slaying]

It's not your fault. Honestly? Don't worry about it. Guess I should have known it was going to happen someday.
