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.

Well so far that's the only way I know.

[She blinks at his answer but then she notices the nudge and the smile.] ...Repetitive, yes. [She leans in and kisses his cheek gently.] But I like it that you're always here at times like these.

And that's fine. It's what we're here for right? Learning. I think life would be kind of boring if we already knew everything.

[Any response he could have thought of pretty much died in his throat. He was definitely blushing. A lot. It took him a moment or two and lots of nodding to compose himself. He clears his throat.] Yeah, well, it's what people do for those they care about.

I guess it would.

[She says nothing about the blush although she notices it. No need to embarass him any further. Instead she just leans her head on his shoulder, slightly.] Then I'm glad you care enough about me.

Easier, but boring.

[Thank you Raven, for not pointing it out. He just smiles a bit.] Don't see why I shouldn't.

Indeed.

[A small smirk.] I can think of many reasons.

Whether or not they're good ones is another story.

[Raven chuckles softly at that.] Oh, they're probably the worst ones.

[Bon shrugs very lightly.] Eh. Maybe that's just a matter of opinion.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Maybe. [She just leans against Bon again. She should stop questioning the good things in her life. And Bon is one of them.]

[He shifts a little to set his arm behind her to help give the both of them more support as he continues to watch the act of nature unfold in front of him. His silence is a bit heavy, but only for a moment or two.]

I'm really glad I met you Raven.

[Raven doesn't turn to look at him but there's a tiny smile curling her lips.] So am I.
