[Derek has to agree. It's too big to be practical on his own world, but it is well made and well balanced from what he can tell.

His socks clean, he turns his attention to his jeans. At this point, they're mostly clean from being in the water for so long, but there's still a few spots that could stand a sand scouring.

It'll be a while before he can get them off, now--long after they've dried, but in mixed company, it's an uncomfortable inconvenience he's willing to put up with.]

So does it change looks with each Slayer, or is it the same each time?

[herotypical]

I...I don't think so. To be honest? I'm the first Slayer who managed to find it. The first Slayer who was up to her neck in so much apocalypse that it was needed.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Just like you. Nothin's ever done on a small scale.

[herotypical]

I'm go-big-or-go-home Buffy, Derek. And I'm not going home so I'd better go big.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Just don't go out. In a blaze of glory or any other way, for that matter.

[herotypical]

Quietly and in my bed at the age of a hundred and three is my goal.

[ she doubts she'll reach it. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

You never know. Might actually happen.

[And about as likely as Derek living much past where he is now when he goes home]

[herotypical]

...It's a pretty thought. A fairy tale.

[ she's become so fond of telling herself those recently. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe. But it's something to reach for. Nothing wrong with that.

[It's always worth holding to if you got something like it.]

[herotypical]

And what are you reaching for?

[ because she's concerned whether derek's picked a thing to reach for at all. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[There's a long silence, where Derek simply sits and looks out over the water. Finally, though, he shrugs, standing so that he can head to shore.]

Watching out for the village until I'm sent home.

[herotypical]

Somehow? I don't think that qualifies as reaching. Not for you, not for either of us.

[ that's just second nature. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek will shrug.]

It'll work for now.

Seen a lot of Third Party?

[herotypical]

...Enough. Or maybe not enough. In the middle of it all, I can't really tell.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Lot of them. I keep wondering if I'm going to run into any I've already killed in the past.

[Yep, we're going over here to this conversation now.]

[herotypical]

It's...possible. Believe me.

[ before they left, jack had explained to her that he had met the elite who had killed him. and since then, she'd been watching each enemy's face a lot more carefully.

it hasn't done wonders for her mental state. ]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt it. Isnt part of the reason they're because they can't die for good, either?

[herotypical]

Mmhm. I guess. At least that's the story we're given.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Don't believe it?

[herotypical]

More like don't know what to believe.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Simplest might be the most likely.

[herotypical]

Doesn't that have a name? Octopus's Razor or something?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Occam's. Lex parsimoniae. Not quite the same thing, but close enough.

[herotypical]

...Bless you.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Obviously not a fan of Latin, huh.
