[click--the audio pops to life--the sound of running, splashing water...]

--Odds, ends and bobbins--cogs and pabs--...Hello? I daresay, hello?

[he shifts, turning]

...I know this color and sound. Do I not? Or had my rememory gone slick and falsely once more..?

[a pause--he puts the thing down, and steps away]

I have not, and yet so have laid eyes on

Buffy! It's you! It is, I would know such brightness anywhere--you're real, I hadn't only--

Oh, what wonders to hear you...

[whattingawhat]

Of course, I'm real. [She's very glad he recognizes her.] What happened to you? Are you okay?

[knaveswitness]

Why, hello, hello.

[10shlling6pence]

--Xerxes! Oh, I grow happier by the moment! I know you! I do!

[knaveswitness]

As I know you.

Welcome back- is what I'd usually say, but does that really work here, I wonder?

[10shlling6pence]

I should wonder myself, yes--though a welcome, whether welcome or unwelcome, is welcomed none-the-less, my friend.

[letxequalnull]

It is the City, should that offer any assistance.

[10shlling6pence]

The City--the City! Yes!

Terribly inthoughtful and tick-tocking tyrraniously through the night!

[letxequalnull]

Yes, for good or ill.
