Chapter 5: Some Talking
Trance sat, alone, in the observation deck, until she felt a familiar presence.
"What now, Whistler?"
"You have to guide her." He told her, "How are Tyr and her getting along?"
"Well, they haven't killed each other yet, so I'm going to go with okay." She told him, before turning around to look at him. "From what Becca has said, they have a relationship of sorts."
"Well, what did you expect?" Whistler questioned. "They did share many lives, before Buffy jumped." He told her. "You realize that you will have to explain why she is there and maybe what Tyr is to her." Trance nodded to him.
"Yes, but how do I do it, without making it seem that the PTB are forcing her into the relationship?"
"That is for you to figure out."
"You are no help," she told him, "I have to figure out how to explain the damn prophecy, without making it seem that she is being forced, because our existence depends on her entering into the bond with Tyr of her own free will."
"Well, you could just tell her the truth." Whistler commented, "Although don't do it when she is pissy, because she gets real graphic with the visuals."
"Sure," Trance said sarcastically, "I can see it now, I'll simply walk up to her and take her to the side, I'll even have Andromeda engage privacy mode. Then I'll sit her down and say "When you jumped through the portal, you really leaped in time, a couple of millennia or so. And Tyr is really your favorite ensouled vampire, after he greeted the sun rise when she died for the second time." And she'll look at me blankly and then deck me, but let's not forget my favorite part," Trance yelled at Whistler, "Let's not forget the part where I am really her relative, that the slayer line was passed on through Dawn, because of the monks, and it stayed with her family and that I am also part vampire, because Dawn and Spike got together. But wait! My favorite part! She needs to get with Tyr and create a child, because all of humanity depends on it, but she has to do it of her own free will, because she loves him, not because he is the reincarnated soul of her forbidden love. Yes, I can see that going over real well!" Trance yelled and Whistler flinched.
"All right, you might not want to put it like that." He said, "But you are going to have to tell her eventually." He stepped back as Trance threatened to hit him. "We leave it up to you, but you have to tell her." He disappeared, before she could say anything else. Trance stood there for a few more seconds before storming off, missing Tyr, who had gone to look for her, because Buffy had wanted to talk to her.
