I'm sorry I couldn't

Hi, Cordy.

I hope you're doing well. As well as can be expected under the circumstances.

The elves have taken us to Birdsong. It's beautiful here.

I'm not sure it was worth it.

Hey, Cho, how's the sorcery going? And everything else.

I hope you're keeping safe.

Hi, Jake.

I'm doing fine, thank you. Things are strange, but no one's made any attempts to question me or Bret about what happened.

I wish I could be there with all of you. I regret not insisting that I went along. It's kind of lonely here, but at least Bret and Mikney are around.

I don't know much about the Mother, but I think you did a good thing by keeping her alive. Some people say war is a science, other say it's an art, I tend to think it just leads to a lot of unnecessary cruelty. But you don't need a sermon from me, I'll get off my soap box.

What I mean to say, really is that if you were here, I think I'd

Good. That's good to hear.

I wish you were here, too. But I don't regret that you didn't come with us. Ginny died, and Robbie's gone missing; and whether we did a good thing or not keeping the Mother alive, I'm not sure it was enough. We'll see.

Soapbox or no, it's good to talk to you. I miss you, too.

I'm sorry things didn't go very well. Did you get hurt? And how are you coping?

Do you think we'll see each other again?

Re: [private]

[itworks_bitches]

I was lucky, I guess. No, I wasn't hurt.

Coping fairly well, all things considered. Some good might still come out of this. For all of us.

[a long pause]

I hope so, Cordy. I really hope so.

What the fuck Where are you? What happened? How could you do something like that? What were you thinking?

[itworks_bitches]

I

I'm fine, thanks for asking.

Where I am: with the elves. What happened: we freed the Mother, Ginny was killed, and Robbie disappeared.

As for the how and why of my own motivations: it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

What's wrong? Are you all right?

[tenuefarfalla]

Of course I'm not all right. Kale and Niko were almost killed, you just disappeared, I've never been so worried about so many people in my life. I feel like I'm about to shake apart

I didn't know a Ginny. Was she a friend of yours? I'm sorry.

[itworks_bitches]

They're okay, right? Kale and Niko? I didn't see any of them. I was only the distraction.

And, thank you.
