[milliways] conversations with/for/about people who may or may not be dead

[stilljustandrew]

[After this.]

The last group job at Angel Investigations -- a fairly routine intervention to take out a pair of vampires who'd been killing homeless people in Morningside Park -- wrapped up a few days ago. Spike's doing a post-mission patrol to be sure they haven't disrupted anything local beyond what they intended; Gunn's taken care of the internal paperwork; and Jonathan's been putting together the written summary to hand over to the local Watchers.

Hopefully he's finished by now, because he's about to be interrupted.

"Just remember you don't owe me anything. Not any more. And if seeing a therapist helps with that..."

[stilljustandrew]

"Okay," he says, low.

"But ... look, even if I don't owe you anything anymore, I still feel like maybe paying it forward should be a thing."

[jonathanparagon]

"Maybe", Jonathan allows. "But not by getting yourself killed, if you can help it."

[stilljustandrew]

"Not if I can help it," he agrees.

"... and anyway that's probably not the kind of help Noah needs, at least."

[jonathanparagon]

"Yeah", Jonathan agrees with a quick grin, "it sounds like what he needs more right now is friends. Being new to Milliways, and all."

[stilljustandrew]

"So let's do what we can about that. Yeah?"

[jonathanparagon]

"Definitely. I'll try and find a reasonable way to bring it up in conversation when I see him next."

[stilljustandrew]

He nods.

Soft: "I hope Milliways is good for him."

[jonathanparagon]

"I think, one way or another... it's good for most people."

Not all. But most.
