The Xander Gander: September 17th, 2001
by slayerfest
Tara came and spoke with me today. Ever since I asked her a few days ago if Willow might have known there would have been consequences to bringing Buffy back, she’s seemed distant and less of the magic-related.

Apparently, Tara’s starting to worry about Willow’s use of magic. The spell that she did to make that possessing demon corporeal was too easy for her and really freaked Tara out. It was designed for two people to chant until some of their life force was transferred to the demon, making the demon whole and the witches in question weaker for a little while; mid-spell, Willow stopped chanting, seemed to take all the power, and finished the spell with one word. And afterwards she’d seemed perfectly fine.

This combined with the spell to bring Buffy back makes me think that maybe Tara’s right.
Tara came to me because I apparently know her best, but I didn’t know what to tell her. Mostly I said that she should talk to Willow herself because of my lacking in knowledge if magic, and because she’s always seemed to listen to Tara more.
I’ve never seen her use the Resolved Face with Tara.

Buffy’s in pretty substantial debt. I wonder if Willow and Tara have told her that yet.
I hope they don’t include the part wherein they’ve been living off my salary since the end of August. I don’t really want Buffy to feel like she has to pay me back, too. She’s really got enough people asking her for money.

I wonder when Giles is going to get back. He’d know what to do.
About everything.
