Buffy: I’m fine. My back hurts, but it always does. So on a relative scale it is good. How are you? You didn’t go to the hip-happening masquerade ball?
Dawn: No, my dorm room is much more appealing. It has people I actually wanna see in it, aka me. I’m good, considering.
Dawn: I’m sorry I haven’t been by to see you….I just…you know…
Buffy: It’s good you’re good… considering.
Buffy: Don’t worry about it, I completely understand.
Dawn: When do you think you’re going to be leaving…there? I’d like to see you.
Buffy: I should be back in my apartment once I can walk without it needing to sit down every couple of steps, which is to say pretty soon. Slayer healing’s been helping out with that one.
Buffy: When does your semester start?
Buffy: I should know this already, I’ve been sucking at big sistering as of late.
