[ w/e it's still only ... oh three months ok yeah. long time. ]

No more SWAT teams busting in your house, I hope.

[romanticidal]

We have put in much stronger doors, since then.

But I believe, all my accounts so settled, I gave you word that I would assist you with your looking into Nova Records.

[slay]

[ omg rafael why are you the cutest. she's making this dumb smile at his doors remark but oh right work. that's still a thing. she straightens up. ]

Oh! Right. Assisting. Are you calling 'caused you managed to find something, or ... ? [ or is he going to come hang out in new orleans with them when they go back?? she doesn't want to be pushy. ]

[romanticidal]

Or because I am free to look into it further with you.

[slay]

I like the sound of that even better. [ and, well, spike did say the drakenet hijacking had been dealt with, so she'll just have to trust this is secure as lines go. ] We're supposed to be heading back to New Orleans to continue our investigation pretty soon here, as I understand it. Turns out the firing was not so fire-like.

[romanticidal]

That is very good news! I should not have felt as comfortable working with others of your organization so much... You all have such a good understanding of our situation for having seen what you have seen already.

[slay]

Just call me liaison-girl. [ she does sound a little pleased with that fact because AWWW BRO. and he sounds like he's doing better, too, which is nice. like maybe he hasn't spent three months crying into his cheerios over jade. maybe two months. ] Would it be easier for you to meet us in the good ol' U.S. of A? I can figure out our projected arrival and get you a date that's hopefully a little more narrowed down than "soon."

[romanticidal]

Perhaps for the best, si.

[slay]

All right. I'll talk to Gar, see if she's chartered the flight yet. And hey, maybe if we get the downtime, it'll be my turn to give the tour. [ GOD KNOWS THEY HAVE SPENT ENOUGH TIME THERE THAT SHE FEELS CAPABLE. ]

[romanticidal]

It would be much appreciated. I have never been to that part of the country before.

[slay]

Never? But, I thought you dealt with Nova in the past.

[romanticidal]

Si, but with their Chicago office.

[slay]

Oh! Right. Duh. In that case, definitely with the tour. New Orleans is great. Not exactly Venice-great, but I think you'll like it. Plus? Cajun food.

[romanticidal]

I think I like the sound of that. I will speak with you again soon, Buffy.

[ a beat ] It is good to hear you are well.

[slay]

Yeah. Yeah, you too. See you soon.

[romanticidal]

Until then. Ciao.
