003; sorry? - [Public Video]

[unweeping_willow]

 [When the video clicks on, Willow mostly just.... stares at the camera.

There's a lot she wants to say. Or feels she should say. But most of it, she has no idea how to go about saying; or she's downright scared too talk about.

She'll let Claudia reveal the successful re-ensoulment. For now all she says is...]


Sorry.

And if anyone gives you too much trouble, you still got Dracula you can go to across the board, right?

And Claudia. She's with you.

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

...Yeah. [There's hesitation, there; that's... complicated.]

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

What is it?

Re: [ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

Nothing. Really. Just...

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Spit it out. [Firm, but not harsh.]

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

It's nothing; she's just busy. [Not being interested in Willow "that way." :|

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, she's busy trying to help you. Is something wrong?

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

It's nothing; honest.

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Alright, I'm not gonna beg you to tell me anything, but the offer stands. You need something and Claudia's busy, you hit me up. Capiche?

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

Thanks; for this, and... for capturing me.

Even if the slayer did ask you to.

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Buffy didn't ask me for anything.

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

...She didn't?

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

No. Why?

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

Nothing; I just don't... She killed Xander. [Even if it was an alternate Buffy; Xander was her best friend since they were little kids. Her only friend, to some extent.]

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, you seem to be stuck on that one no matter who you are. What's that got to do with this Buffy?

[ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

[She shook her head, then realized he couldn't see.] Didn't really care before.

But I keep seeing it, now; every time I close my eyes. And her face.

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

It wasn't her. You know that, right? It wasn't the Buffy that's here.

[He doesn't see a need to add that this Buffy still would have if she'd been there, even if he's aware of it.]

Re: [ Voice ]

[unweeping_willow]

Looked like her. [Willow wasn't the same person who befriended Buffy in the alternate universe, either - but that hadn't stopped Buffy from coming down on her like a hammer. Logic had no place here.]

[ Voice ]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Apparently.

Anyway, it wasn't, and you got a lot of work ahead of you either way. I'm sorry about that, but that doesn't change anything.

[She shrugged, not sure what else to say; she was curious about Buffy - her supposed friend from another reality - but...]
