How are you all feeling?
Aziza: Furious, still.
Anna-Rose: Beyond that. There's this whole commitment that a Watcher makes, that says that they're here to help the Slayer. We're not their Slayers, they're our Watcher. We have to be able to trust them. Running off in the middle of the night? The fact he can completely reroute how we live without a second thought? Not cool. And with a life like this we have to be able to trust everyone around us.
Cecily: The sentiment is the same with most of us. With everything else that's been happening, New York isn't quite the safe haven it used to be. Not everyone's sure what to do.
Aziza: Ink, Rina, Natsuki and me have definitely decided to stay.
Anna-Rose: I'm outta here. Going back to Huldenberg, to work on the hellmouth over there. Madison's going back to her family in Missouri. Jules has left. Emilie is going to Cleveland, I think. Others are on the fence. And, let's be real, you two are staying because you both have a history with him. Rina is staying because she can't go home, and Ink's staying be-
Aziza: Every other Slayer that worked with Xander is on the fence. Actually, haven't spoken to Renee recently, I've no idea where she is on this.
Cecily: I still think something's up.
Anna-Rose: Pretty sure he just relapsed, couldn't take the heat. He's probably trotting around Africa as we speak.
Aziza: Except last time he did that it was on an assignment to find me and a couple of other girls. Besides, he looked messy but whatever it is, it's not alcohol.
Anna-Rose: A mistress, maybe?
Cecily: He wouldn't.
Aziza: He has done it before, but that's still not a running away thing. He wouldn't now, anyway. Guess we'll find out when we find out. Either way, he's still a dick and I will punch his stupid eyepatched face when I next see it.
