[He'd won her a stuffed penguin. She'd been hanging on his arm and squeezing it with a giant grin on her face. Everything felt, finally, like it was going to be okay. Like this trouble between them since sleeping together was just a little thing ( Read more... )

...Huh?

[ this barely registers. ] What? What about Dawn? Is she okay?

[There's a long pause. How can he reiterate this to Buffy?

Like an officer.

He clears his throat, his voice going low, but cracking a little.]

She-she went home.

[ voice ] slaying August 23 2011, 00:03:31 UTC

No.

[ instantly, her voice gets thick. ] No. She can't have. I just -- we just talked. She came by the castle and we talked, dammit. She's here. You just...you lost track of her.

I was holding her hand. [He sounds distant.]

Archie.

[What else is there to say? At least right now.]

[voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 00:14:23 UTC

[There's a long pause, as if he doesn't know he's being spoken to. Then, belatedly:]

Yes?

[voice] seventeensir August 23 2011, 00:27:46 UTC

Where are you?

[voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 00:30:45 UTC

At-at the park, the one offshore.

[Everything just goes...so very quiet and still.

Giles sinks down against a booth, and the noise of the festival just...fades. It's meaningless. It means absolutely nothing, and Giles can't remember the last time he felt so alone.

And just like that, she's gone from being the bright, shiny twenty year old girl at a birthday party, aghast that he couldn't dance, to a pale, still form but for the blood trickling from her head, and he'd never know if she lived or died.

He'd never gotten the chance to tell her that he'd been considering asking Ginia to teach him...

...two to go.

Needless to say, Giles is trying so very hard not to cry when he replies.]

Th-Thank you for telling us.

[Archie doesn't respond. He lets the message wash over him along with the rest of the noise. But he'll be sitting on this bench until Horatio comes to take him home.]

[These announcements are never easy but Archie sounds so down, that Selphie just can't leave him alone. Some people need time to be alone but sometimes, you have to be around others too. It makes the pain easier.]

Archie, where are you?

[Voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 01:59:59 UTC

[Blinkblink. Selphie?]

At-at the park.

[Voice] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:01:44 UTC

I'll be there soon, okay?

[Voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 02:04:44 UTC

[Archie doesn't even register that, but he responds anyway.] Of course.
