"Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this is so very much like we did in Narnia, then why is it that here you're parading around in the nude

Bart gave a soft tap on the door-frame, letting her know he was there. She'd run past where he'd been working in one of the spare rooms, and he thought something was wrong by the look.
Bart crossed the room to sit on the edge of her bed, putting an arm around her shoulders automatically. "What happened? I haven't seen you this upset in a while."
Bart was working on some finishing touches on the sand-table he'd started when he realized Tim's birthday was right around the corner. It had to be assembled in place, since he had no plans to bring anything that large up the ladder, if it was even doable. And to be honest, he liked doing something productive.
That didn't mean that right now it didn't look like a very big box on legs, with enough room for people to walk around it or pull up a chair and sit. He had several boards put aside to piece together into a cover, in case they needed a conference room or something, as well. It just made sense, at least Robin's kind of sense, to plan for several eventualities.
He really wasn't looking forward to the task of bringing up buckets of sand to fill it, but the table only needed a few more touches before that was the only thing left. Leaning back against the wall, he couldn't help a sigh of relief.
When Bart had left the room, Xander had made a point of noting where he'd gone. He hoped maybe the other Titan would know what the heck was going on.
Once Jill had fallen asleep, Xander kissed her forehead before extracting himself from her arms, then gone in search of Bart. He sighed heavily as he leaned in the doorway of the room where he'd found him. "So...do you have any idea what that was about? Because I'm in a mood I usually only associated with Buffy and Spike."
"I have a few guesses, but no names, unfortunately," Bart said, knowing exactly how his friend felt. "Someone tore open an old wound. I'd really hoped she was past most of that. If she starts questioning herself, things can only go downhill."
Maybe he'd been spending too much time with Tim, but he broke down the situation into likely scenarios rather quickly, and wanted to deal with it before Jill worked herself into a state. "Part of me wants to take a very Bat-like approach to things."
With a sigh, Xander slid down the wall and dropped his head into his hands. "I can only hope I helped, but I have no idea. She was so upset..." His voice was strained to show how much this had affected him. "Did anything happen with you guys or at her job? Did someone arrival or disappear?" It was more running the ideas through his head but that's all they were; ideas. Where was Giles and Wills when he need expansion on them?
Then he looked up. "Bat-like approach? Do I want to know?"

"Hey," he said, gently.

How would he react when he found out she was living with two men? "D'you think I'm crazy?"
