I don't really want to talk about it. I'm out of options.
I feel sick to my stomach.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Not talking if fine too. Can anybody do anything?

There isn't anything anyone can do, Gar. The truth can be ugly but there's no denying it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Maria, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. We are all here for you, you know.

Because books.
Maria, you don't have to talk about it if it's too much. We're all here, though. Hang in there.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
In my mind and heart I am wrapping both Matt and Maria up in that warm snuggly place in the middle of a cat when it's all curled up and sleeping, surrounded by love and care and softness.
Much getting-better~ma for all those observing Buffistas and Adjacent Persons Sick Day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, just know that if it's something that seems like it's reflecting on you, that we know you and we value you. That negative stuff that gets said in heated moments may very well not reflect reality. We are more than the sum of our choices. We like you and believe in you and no matter what's going on, it is possible for you to get through this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, Maria, I'm so sorry. So sorry.

Maria my love, you are in my thoughts. And I'm going to point at what Liese said and very emphatically nod and say "YEAH, THAT."
