Title: Long Day 67/100

TtH Prompt: #53 Good

Summary: Vala’s first night in her new home.


Long Day

Buffy brought in two cups of chamomile tea and handed one to Vala before stretching out in one of the arm chairs. “Long day.”

“I think it was longer for the boys,” Vala said with a chuckle. “At least, you’d think so with the way they complained.”

“I can’t believe they caught on that fast,” Buffy said with a shake of her head before taking a sip of her tea.

“Nothing they do surprises me anymore,” Vala said, propping her bare feet up on the coffee table. “At least we were still able to con them into moving most of the furniture into place.”

Buffy grinned. “Thanks to a well-timed cry of pain from me – oh my back! And thanks to my slayer healing I’ll be ‘all better’ tomorrow.”

“You’re good.”

“Thanks.”

The two women fell silent as they enjoyed their tea. It was a comfortable silence away from the hustle and bustle of the base.

After a while Buffy asked, “How much is left to unpack?”

“Just a few more odds and ends.”

“Good. I was thinking of having the party next weekend, if that’s all right with you.”

“Sounds fine,” Vala said, letting her eyes drift close. A small smile tugged at her lips at the knowledge that she could sleep on the couch instead of making her way to her bedroom. Not that she wanted to, but it was nice to have that option. Oh yeah, life was good.
