[You're in Tokyo. Don't ask why, that's just how life goes. There's a vampire vs. slayer battle raging, with a ratio something like 1000:1. It's not a pretty sight. If you look up, you'll see one hundred pounds worth of girl hurtling for the ground, all dressed in black.]

Oh, Hell. And I don't even mean that in the literal sense.

[She's plummeting to her death and where was Willow? This was definitely not of the good. As Buffy cuts through the air, one by one the vamps go up in smoke. Her eyes widen as it happens, but by the time she's less than 20 meters over solid ground everyone has vanished, except one girl and one really pissed off witch. Not Willow, either. Bad witch.

The witch has Buffy's scythe and before Buffy can call out, she stabs Renée right through the heart. And suddenly, they vanish too.] Man down. Man down.

[But no one's there to hear her, and she lands almost delicately; unharmed, on the pavement.]

[ Serenity stands there as if she's been there the whole time; watching and being unable to do anything until Buffy lands.

When she does though, the only thing she can do, as she has lost her ability to fight, is step forward to try comfort the Slayer as best she can. ]

[Oh hay brosis, she's not wiping tears away or nothing.] ...Hi.

Hello Buffy.

[ Well, if Buffy's not going to wipe those tears away, Serenity will. ]

[wqhgdejhgfr so kind ;;]

How long have you been standing there?

Long enough.

[ When she's content with the lack of tears, Serenity places a hand on the other girls' cheek and lets her thumb stroke at the skin. So maternal. ]

May I ask what just happened?

[Looks away though she's not pulling back.]

They killed Renée.

I am sorry for your loss, Buffy.

[ Serenity's eyes echo the sympathy she feels in their blue depths. She's sincere in her words because she knows what it's like to lose people in battle. ]

What will you do now?

What I always do. [shadow of a smile] Try to save the world.

[ She knows that smile. She used to do that smile when she was younger in her senshi days.. and usually when she was forced to do that... ]

It's never easy with that kind of burden on your shoulders and I have faith that you will succeed..

[ Serenity's hands release the Slayer's face but then move to place her arms around Buffy's shoulders in a hug. ]

[Her arms wrap back around Serenity, powerless to do anything else as she hangs there, feeling undeserving of the comfort it brings.]

If Satsu saw us like this, I'd be the dead one. [Humor's her only backup, but it only sounds weak and forced, even to her own ears.]

Her jealousy would be in vain. [ Even so, she does not relinquish her hold and in fact squeezes a little tighter. ]

But perhaps if my heart did not belong elsewhere... [ Is that perhaps an air of humor in her voice? Hey, if it helps her friend... :( ]

[And Buffy does laugh, though it's brief and a little harsh-sounding.]

Yeah right. The Moon queen getting with a slayer? I don't think so. [But she's not letting go just yet.]

[ She's on the right track at least! ]

Your words wound me, my dear Buffy. [ But the tone in her voice reflects nothing but a hint of over-dramatics. ] I always believed our friendship was special~

[She does pull back now, laughing faintly still.]

Don't get ahead of yourself. I don't even know what Satsu and I are even.

[ Serenity will allow being pulled away from for now! ]

Even if you're unsure where your relationship lies, she's someone important to you, is she not?

Of course. [But there's much avoiding of eye contact.] I just don't know if she means the same to me that I mean to her.
