A return to the world.

[scooby_leader]

It had been a short hiatus from everything social, but it had, indeed, been a hiatus. For about a week, the only person she'd seen with any regularity was Connor, but even that hardly counted. She had been a bit distant from him because there really was no avoiding him, with them living together and all. She didn't mind having him around, but

Bridget had been leaving the compound more and more, since Elliot had begun to get back to normal. Not normal exactly, as it was somewhat difficult to be normal while one still had a gunshot wound in one's chest, but somewhat normal, nonetheless. She thought that a walk might do her some good.

She was a little too distracted by the mango that she was eating to notice anything dangling from the tree above her.

"Don't freak," Buffy said quietly, sitting up. "But there's a blonde hovering above you."

[_bridget_jones_]

Bridget blinked twice then tilted her head upward, eyebrows raised as her mouth hung open in a very unattractive manner.

Why is everyone always climbing trees around here?

"Oh...right. I'll keep that in mind." She said, before noticing who it was.

"Oh! Buffy! Hullo!"

[scooby_leader]

"Hey, Bridge," she said, swinging deftly down to a lower branch and letting her legs dangle. "Been a while." She had to reason to be bitter to Bridget. Though her boyfriend was the supreme dickhead being, she was a great girl.

[_bridget_jones_]

"Weeks," Bridget agreed, "How have you been?"

Oh wait. Faramir. Stupid, stupid Bridget!

She always ended up asking the wrong thing at the wrong time.

[scooby_leader]

"I'm doing much better, thank you," she said, assuming that Bridget had been talking about Faramir. She wished there was a way to un-associate Bridget and Riddick in her head. As long as no one mentioned him...

"How about you?"

[_bridget_jones_]

"Good...glad that the weather's gone back to normal. That's some sort of a relief."

It wasn't as if she disliked the snow, but tropical islands were better suited to sun and warm temperatures.

Oh god, was she really so uninteresting as to start talking about the weather?

[scooby_leader]

"I'd never really seen snow. It was... interesting," she said with a broad smile. "What's new?"

[_bridget_jones_]

"Really? I'm glad you got to see it then." Bridget said as a smile of her own crept onto her face.

What's new? Besides finding out that I'm fictional? And my roomate was shot. Oh yes, I was a man, too, wasn't I?

"Not much, just thought I'd get some fresh air. I've been inside a lot lately...someone shot my roomate a week or two ago."

[scooby_leader]

"What?!" Her immediate thought was this it was Riddick, but not exactly. "What happened?" The Slayer in her had her ears perked.

[_bridget_jones_]

"Some woman named Trinity shot her. Elliot says that it was probably some sort of mistake."

Not bloody likely. It probably had something to do with Smith. Cheating bastard.

"She's alright though."

[scooby_leader]

"Oh, man..." she said, looking bewildered.

[_bridget_jones_]

Bridget sighed and nodded.

"I mean, as alright as one can be with a gunshot wound..." Bridget clarified, "but she's better than she was..."

[scooby_leader]

"I can't believe someone would just... Does the IPD know?"

[_bridget_jones_]

Bridget shrugged.

"I'm not sure. I'm going to go and check on things and make sure that they're doing something about it. People shouldn't get shot around here...once was more than enough."

Oop. Probably shouldn't mention Faramir.
