Xander Harris went home

[Anyone who lives in the warehouse or comes by will find Buffy wailing on a punching bag]

[Dawn walks into the room, sanding at the door in silence for awhile. But after a few minutes, she walks over to the opposite side of the punching bag and rests her hands on it as Buffy continues to wail. She can feel each hit from the other side, the power behind it as it moves through the bag and spikes up her arm into her shoulder. It's a connection, a Buffy connection. And that's all she needs right now.]

He's gone, huh?

Re: [action]

He's back home. That's a good thing. [She keeps hitting the bag put she pulls her punches a little. She doesn't want to hurt Dawn.]

He's okay where he's from.

Not really, there was a whole -- apocalypse building. Another one.

[The whole Twilight thing was looking strange and ominous. Nothing at all like the shiny vampires from that book. She mentally smirks at the thought, shiny vampires. And then that melts away back into the moodiness she feels right now. There is nothing in the world that can make this okay except time, she guesses.]

There's always one of those. It's like our life as normal.

[She doesn't exactly know anything about that. Xander never got around to telling her about it]

[She doesn't want to interrupt, but Faith had started healing up finally, and she was itching to head out. Not that she needed Buffy's permission but there was always a chance the other slayer would unquit if asked, right?]

Yo.

Re: action;

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy pauses and looks up when Faith comes in then focuses back on the punching bag]

Hey.

[commarogue]

[Faith watches for awhile. Yes she's something of a creeper, is anyone really that surprised? After Buffy wails a bit more, she can't hold her tongue.]

Not as good when it doesn't hit back, huh?

Re: action;

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy doesn't want to admit that Faith is right so she gives the bag a few more punches before she answers]

Easier on the make up budget.

My girlfriend went home once. She came back the next week. He could come back.

[whattingawhat]

I know and I can't decide if I want him here or home. I mean...here is crazy but sometimes so is home

You feel like, selfish? Really selfish to the point of, why would you possibly want them to go through all this? And your answer is right there. In front of you. In flashing neon lights. You love the guy. Or girl. Best friend, girlfriend, whatever. I don't apologize for being selfish because Summer and Ryan and to an extent Taylor, they make it bearable.

[whattingawhat]

But bearable for you traps them here in a life they're not supposed to be leading. And life here in the City isn't always...sometimes it's awful. Really awful.

[shifts]

how do you know for certain when someone has left ?

[whattingawhat]

They've got a hall of missing and when someone goes home, their portrait appears in the hall. Xander's portrait is there
