phone call @Buffy

Willow: [frowns a little, but nods.] Y-yeah. I’m um, I’m home. [She sighs. Faith. How can she…if Buffy can forgive her, surely Faith can, someday. But will she even want to look at her long enough for Willow to warn her?] I’ll…I’ll see what I can do?[She pauses and grows solemn.] I did this to her. I didn’t ask, and it’s not what she wanted. You should know that. That what I did isn’t something she wanted for herself at all. She would’ve rather had the other way. I-I haven’t really um…talked to her much or done anything with her much, actually. There’s a porch, outside? W-where porches tend to be, I guess, a-and a garden out back. We could go there, i-if it’s a problem…?
Buffy: [Breathes in deeply] I can’t really be mad about the way her soul is in, you guys did what you had to. It’s just the whole secret thing, you really put Dawn in danger with what you did. She knows I know, and I wasn’t exactly nice about it. I just don’t want to fight with her, not tonight. [She sighs. She needs to change the topic and fast.] But that’s not what this is about. I just need to know you’re okay. I’m coming over, it’ll all work itself out. [She smiles but her eyes are still a little teary and you can hear it in her voice] I’ll see you in a jiffy, okay?
