Stress. Emotional reactions. [He gives Buffy a wry look, as if expecting a comment from her on that front.] The mission and draft in recent months took their toll.

[herotypical]

[ she obliges, because it's expected of her: ] You? Emotional? Hah. [ but her voice is distant and still distracted. jumping through humourous hoops. ]

[chikaidestroyer]

Hn. [A slight shake of the head, followed by a sigh.] That is the curse. I know I'm not the only one inflicted with it, but there's little that can be done concerning that; the other who was inflicted with the wound with me is over in Vaskoth. [And there was also Rudy, whose wound was looking quite similar to his.] What little I have heard since that draft is that an applied Shift would not heal her wound.

[...At least, not without some worrisome effects he really didn't want to consider for himself.]

[herotypical]

[ she blinks hard -- the sepia tones are swimming. running. blurring. ]

With no hope of you two able to collaborate...Jeez. I -- [ she shakes her head. a hand flies to her brow. ] Sorry. One sec. I need to sit down.

[chikaidestroyer]

[The deeper frown returns at Buffy's words, and he takes hold of her shoulder -- to guide her to the chair he had vacated.]

You do not need to hold on to the spell anymore, do you? Does it fade on its own?

[They seem like unhelpful questions to ask now, when she is already feeling this way.]

[herotypical]

It fades. Should fade. Soonish. Could you...

[ a beat. she crumples into the seat. ] Could you get me a glass of water?

[chikaidestroyer]

[He nods, though he's fairly certain she's too distracted to notice.]

Close your eyes and try to relax. I'll be right back.

[He'll only wait a moment for a response from Buffy before he heads off in the direction of her kitchen.]

[herotypical]

...Aye, aye, Cap'n.

[ she sounds just on the edge of loopy as her head drops into her hands. god, it's been forever since she's worked magic like this. and she was never as good as willow was when willow was still a beginner. buffy holds a hand to her nose -- fearing blood. ]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It takes Albert a few minutes to pick his way through the kitchen and find a glass to bring to Buffy, but he's soon returning to the room with a glass of cold water. He patiently stands by her, guiding the glass to her hand in case her vision is impaired at this point.]

Thank you for your efforts.
