Solidarity
"So you're telling me the mouth of hell is in southern California?" The Keeper asked skeptically, her words weighted carefully.
"Well, it was. The Hellmouth kinda imploded." The blonde shifted her weight to her other foot.
"The mouth of hell imploded? How did that happen?" Claire Hansen demanded. She didn't visit the West Coast all that often, and stuck mainly to the East, so she hadn't been up to speed on the situation there.
"Yeah, see there was this whole end-of-the-world situation. Lots of bad stuff," Buffy Summers explained.
"Cause I've never seen too many of those," The keeper groaned.
"I hear that."
"It's like the world can't keep itself together so I can have a normal, healthy relationship," Claire groaned.
"Hey, preachin' to the choir, here. I haven't had a real date in like, three years."
"My boyfriend almost got sucked into hell."
"Hazards of the job. I sent Angel into hell to keep the world safe."
"Well, Dean went voluntarily," Claire said sheepishly.
"Angel was a 200 plus year old vampire. And I hear he's seeing a werewolf."
"Huh?" Claire asked.
"Long, complicated story that I don't think I want to get into right now." Buffy sighed.
"Our lives kinda suck," Claire said grumpily.
"I've been noticing that."
"Coffee?"
"Ooh! Yes, please."
