I [Holo] Finding myself making every possible mistake

[exdemon]

"—sexual intercourse, I've said it like a dozen… Xander?" Anya frowns. Xander's basement is far from a pleasant place, but it is somewhat less metallic and plus, there is Xander and juice boxes and she's pretty sure from the way he'd been staring at her that he was going to end up engaging in coitus with her, except now he's gone.

She crosses her arms and frowns. "This isn't funny! Where are you, Xander? Is this because you're friends with the Slayer? Because I don't think it's fair that I suffer just because you guys keep pissing off very powerful evil forces."

As it becomes clearer and clearer that Xander is not here, and the demon behind this is not making itself known, she shifts from foot to foot uncomfortably.

"Hello? Anyone?" She glances around, looking sulky. "I'm getting cold."

"Yes, kidnapped by aliens, blah, blah, blah, I still just want to go home."

"I know. You may still, though. Xander did, and Giles."

She's decided that believing anything other than that they went home is too hard.

Anya looks surprised. "Xander was here? When was Xander here? You should have made him wait for me!"

"It's been awhile, now, since he's gone. Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to come or go on purpose. But- but if it helps, the two of you were together when I left. In your future."

Anya smiles. "Yes, that is helpful. And... happy? He wasn't being, you know, like most of the men I've met in the past thousand years?"

"You seemed happy to me," Tara says, truthfully.

It's true, she's heard quite a few things about Anya and Xander's future from others that weren't optimistic. But given that the future in question included her own death, Tara isn't much inclined to discuss it. Besides which, she won't vouch for anything she hasn't seen herself, yet.
