[Derek's been scarce for a few weeks, doing his version of soul searching, staying out of sight of most folks once Raine had declared him fit enough to be excused from bed rest. Still, when he hears the announcement, he clicks his journal on.]

...Let me know where and when, if you want.

[locked] slaying June 27 2011, 15:53:35 UTC

[ derek. ]

Of course I want. Last -- [ last time. with kirk. and the whiskey. that feels like forever ago. ] Where are you staying?

[locked] derek_bliss June 27 2011, 16:08:01 UTC

[There's a slight pause before he answers, but no hesitation in his voice.]

Been cleaning out the cave, but we can probably borrow an empty apartment or something once I get back into the village. Up to you.

[locked] slaying June 27 2011, 16:17:33 UTC

...A cave might actually manage to be a bit too depressing for me, right now. Which is kind of a feat, if you think about it. Given...given everything.

[locked] derek_bliss June 27 2011, 16:40:35 UTC

Yeah. Not exactly what I was thinking anyway.

House 45 is empty. Will that work?

[locked] slaying June 27 2011, 16:44:17 UTC

Yeah. Yeah, that'll work. I might -- God, there's a lot to do and so many people to talk to. [ she sounds less than thrilled about these duties. ] It might not be till late?

[locked] derek_bliss June 27 2011, 17:22:10 UTC

That's fine. Need time to get back to the village anyway.

[And shower]

...hang tight, Buffy.

[locked] slaying June 27 2011, 17:28:57 UTC

...I don't think I could be hanging any tighter.

[ but much, much later? she'll be there. ]

[locked] derek_bliss June 28 2011, 00:05:49 UTC

[And she'll find him in the kitchen, brewing a cup of coffee with a pot he found at the store and making pancakes and bacon on the borrowed stove.

...He's hungry. And also scrubbed clean.

Off to one corner of the kitchen is a bundle of his things from the cave, the guitar securely leaning against it. He only has a few candles on the table in the middle of the room. It's already weird enough for the hunter that he's cooking in an 'empty' house...keeping the overhead off is just an instinctive effort at trying to ward away the feeling.]

[locked] slaying June 28 2011, 00:08:29 UTC

[ she enters very quietly; all her other visiting and go-grieving done with. it has left her exhausted. too much pretending to be okay. ]

Hey, Derek.

[locked] derek_bliss June 28 2011, 00:17:16 UTC

[He looks up and smiles slightly.]

Hey.

[And the arm is out, offering a hug, if she wants one.]

slaying June 28 2011, 00:18:32 UTC

[ she will certainly accept that hug. she holds tightly onto derek, burying her face against the side of his arm. not gonna cry. not gonna cry. ]

Something smells delicious.

derek_bliss June 28 2011, 00:23:08 UTC

[And he'll hug her back, even though he's still working on that whole social thing. Despite his own problems, though, it's firm, brotherly, and steady. He keeps his voice quiet when he replies.]

Just some pancakes. Didn't know if you'd be hungry, but we've both probably missed a few meals today.

slaying June 28 2011, 00:29:05 UTC

[ slowly, she lets go. ]

A few, yeah.

derek_bliss June 28 2011, 00:35:41 UTC

There's enough for both of us. And stuff later will sit easier.

[Yes, he brought a couple of bottles of Whiskey, one of rum, and a tequila for himself.]

slaying June 28 2011, 00:39:11 UTC

Not to mention the fact that you're cooking's just...good. Comforting.
