The device comes to rest close to the wall of an arena. Once it steadies out the action becomes more clear. More clear in the 'oh there's Buffy being

...[just a deeply concerned Hatter--he loves you, Buffy, and though you may be a tough cookie, you will never avoid his affectionate fussing]

[whattingawhat]

[Poor Tarrant. Affectionate fussing is always allowed especially when she's missing people from home]

[10shlling6pence]

..Speak with me?

There must me something--anything or another thing--that I may be able to do.

[whattingawhat]

Tarrant.

...I'm okay. My sister went home. [She could use a hug actually]

I'll be there in a little while to clean up.

[10shlling6pence]

...My heart is entirely with you, Buffy. I am very sorry. [there will be so much hugging.]

Come sit with me. I've been attempting to hang light fixtures--it's..nearly comical, Mally remarked.

[whattingawhat]

Okay.

[And true to her word, she shows up a few minutes later looking a little lost and a little damaged. She forces a smile at Tarrant.]

Comical?

[he turns on the threshold of their balcony, standing atop a chair, an ornate lamp in his hand--he's attempting to hang it from the overhang jutting above the doors--there are a few more about the apartment, including some he's just given up on connecting to the wiring there]

..Home design was never my strong creativity. I like people much more than..well...this.

[he gives her a smile, gesturing the table--seems he's tried his hand at some hot chocolate, two mugs there] It's still quite warm.

[whattingawhat]

We could call Xander for that. It's sort of his thing.

[She picks up a mug, takes a sip then sits down at the table.]

Thank you. It's good. [Tea is comforting but hot chocolate is just decadently comforting]
