Plei, I love that. Becase yes, I stand by my belief that Wes, after what happened with Connor especially, would be very leery of stating an absolute.
The only thing that doesn't work for me in that? The parentheses. I know that sounds weird (I use them constantly, after all), but, I don't know - hyphens? A la
Tomorrow, if he feels up to it - and Gunn's probably correct in assuming that Wesley will be more than a little hung over - he'll take most of the contents somewhere and give them the decent burial that she never got.
Hmmmm. More coffee is needed. I used to be able to do this cold, but now, caffeine....
yeah, hyphen's better.
have a headache, lost my ability to craft a sentence, just started first cup of coffee and noticed that I said I got out of the bath halfway, when I meant I was done with the bath but only halfway through the book. blah.
It still feels a little expositiony, this is me without coffee, with headache, grumpy, take it at your own risk.
You're right. It is more of a dashy statement than a parenthetical. I'd gotten into the habit--because there are so many parenthetical statements that need to be parenthetical in here--of using them.
Changed.

Nothing to take on this one, love; it got its press, ran its course, tickled the Booker people and went firmly out of print a good ten years ago. That ship sailed into the sunset a loooooong time ago.
still mourning
Lilah ...
I wonder what they did do with her body. Maybe Connor can volunteer where he buried Holtz. Hey, Buffy's got her own little graveyard.

Connor burned Holtz, IIRC. (Which I might not, because it was Tomorrow, and I, umm, got distracted about 15 minutes before the end.)

No, he did. Very Viking funeral.
Oh good. So the shirtless Wes didn't totally fry my brain.
Well, I didn't say THAT...
Oh Deb, sorry -- I didn't mean Plainsong, I meant the end of Ple's story.
It took me a bit to get into Plainsong because it is lyrical and I've been reading more, hmm, terse stuff, but it didn't take long before I was wallowing in the language. I'm a very fast reader, so the time I took, normally for a book that length, I should have been done, not halfway done, but I was enjoying the language so much that I savored.
Boy, this is me posting like a crazy confused person. It will most likely happen again, no need for anyone to mark the post.
