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

[feel_nevermore]

[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.

... By what exactly?

[He's not especially impressed by Chaos himself.]

By you, of course. For being able to live with such an insufferable creature inside your head... and still manage to always look so perfectly impassible on the outside.

... I suppose you get used to it after a while.

[And, well, he's never really been all that expressive even back when he was human.]

We don't have a choice. We make do.

[A sigh.] I'm afraid I'll never get used to it.

Yeah. [Sad but true.]

[Vincent shrugs.]

Chaos is not a demon. That probably makes it easier.

Good point. What is it exactly?

[ff_red_turk]

It's ... complicated.

[That means 'please don't make me explain now.]

I see. Nevermind.

[That's alright. She won't.]

[And he's falling back into comfortable silence territory. He did come out because he was worried about her, not to maker her worry about him.]

[She can't help worry about you, Uncle Vincent. But she does like silence as well. So it's all good.]
