Nineteenth Prophecy: Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend [Video]

[The feed switches on. Raven is sitting by the lake, staring at the water. The sun is setting behind the horizon. It's almost completely gone. Perfect date setting. Raven talks quietly as if someone was there with her.]

It's the first time you've ever stood me up, Harry. [A slight smirk.] ...And I can't even blame you for it.

[She picks up the PCD and looks just as impassible as always.]

For those who knew him, my boyfriend, Harry Potter is not here anymore.

And it seems that Spike has been sent back too. So if anyone else needs something to bleach their hair, just ask me. I'd hate to see the solution I prepared for him go to waste.

[And she cuts the feed. See Rei? She's learning. It doesn't hurt any less but at least she's getting better at hiding it.]

[Private video to Horst]
We could meet tonight at the bar? If you need to feed. Or whatever.

You don't sound like it.

[He's just Captain Obbvious today.]

Yeah, I'm fine. There anything I can do?

Edited 2011-08-28 20:48 (UTC)

[Well, 'will' means not now but in the future. So she just repeats quietly.] I will be. They say time makes everything more... bearable.

Katara told me Aang is gone too. I'm sorry.

And not right now, no. But thanks for offering.

But time can take a while, too. And yeah, he is.

[And that's all he says on the matter. He wasn't as close to Aang as the others, but his loss was a sense of reality that hit. Hard. He'd miss him, there's no denying it.

But why tell her that and burden her with his troubles?]

Where are you?

It can, yes. [And it most probably will.]

By the lake. [Where she had planned to watch the sun set with Harry. Admittedly, watching it alone does not feel quite the same.]

[And Jet cuts the feed before starting in that direction. Maybe it's because he feels he owes her, but the other part of him is learning loss and how to deal with it in a place like this.

So he just plops down beside her once he's there.]

He was your boyfriend, huh?

[Raven looks up as he comes to sit down next to her.] You... didn't have to walk all the way here, you know. [Part of her wants to be left alone, but part of her has learnt to refrain from turning down whatever comfort people are willing to give her.]

[She nods.] Yes. [The first real boyfriend she's ever had. Here or back home.]

I wasn't doing anything important. [He shrugs it off and focuses on the lake. He's never ventured out here before, so it does intrigue him a little.]

They just go back to their world when they leave, right? Nothing bad happens to them?

Well it depends on what was gonna happen, on what they were about to face when they were pulled from their worlds and sent here. ...Some people would die the moment they return.

[Not very reassuring, is she? She doesn't even realize it.]

[He falls silent for a few moments. He knew his fate and knew it'd happen shortly after he eventually did make his way home. He'd die. But he looks to raven with a somber smile.]

If there's anything I can do, let me know. You did a lot for me before you even knew who I was.

I knew you were a friend of Katara's. And I knew you needed help. [A help she could provide. And that was kind of enough for Raven.]

Coming here to talk with me was nice of you.

...thanks. I'm not sure if I said it before you left.

[He scratches the back of his neck.]

Sorry I didn't ask first or anything. I'm not good at talking about these kind of things - so I can't offer you much comfort.

...did you see everything when you healed me?

You did, yes.

[She shrugs.] Me neither.

[She ponders this a moment.] Pretty much everything you saw. But I didn't try to interpret what I saw, my main focus was on you and your emotions.

Were you able to interpret any of it?

[His curiosity is just getting the better of him now.]

War, pain and the feeling of betrayal were the easiest to make out. ...I'm sorry about your village.

It's not your fault, and don't think about that too much now. I was just curious.

If you're hungry or anything, I'm pretty sure Katara's back at the house.

It's normal that you are. I really hope it'll help you figure out things, and live better here. [As well as possible at least.]

[Raven smirks slightly. What is it with boys from Katara's world offering her food? First Sokka, now Jet.] I can cook. And so can my housemate. Don't worry. I ain't gonna let myself starve...

I don't have much to look forward to at home, may as well make myself comfortable.

[He returns it with a casual shrug.] Just an offer. I'm not sure...what else to.

That bad, huh? [Raven nods softly. She feels just the same some days. But she just doesn't think that she can avoid her Fate. Not even by staying here.] What was about to happen to you in your world when you were brought here? ...If you don't mind me asking.

I appreciate it.

I was going to help Aang find Appa. Just...apparently I die in the process.

[He says it without much hesitation having already heard the story more than once. Still, he never openly brought up the topic, but he trusted Raven with the rest of his memories, so why not this?]

What happens to you?

Oh. [Not much to expect... Right.]

My spaceship crashes on some unknown planet.

Do you know what happens from anyone else from your world here?

No. My teammates and I had been attacked by an alien creature before that happened. And we got separated. [Her look and her voice are confident when she speaks next.] But I know they're alright. All of them. I trust them too.

That's good. You have nothing to worry about.

[He sounds strangely convincing.]

Yeah. It is.

[That earns him a small smile from Raven. She has more trust in her teammates than in anyone else. Let alone in herself. She's far less confident in her own abilities than what her calm and detached demeanor lets on.]
