[ spike is bustling around his kitchen, tea and toast in the making. he pulls a slice out of the toaster and starts smearing jam on. ]

It's been a little while, you lot. Or, well, guess I saw most of you on the train home. But now there's new folks and old folks coming back and the like. Par for the beginning of the month, or whatever frame of time it is they use here.

[ now starting in on the second and a thoughtful look crosses over his features. ] I would say this place gets less agonizing the longer I'm here, but I think I know better than to jynx it by now...

[ the kettle goes off, startling him into spinning too quick and knocking the toast off the counter - jam side down. ] Oh come on!

Bloody hell. Where was I? Oh, yeah.

Sober two days, you bunch of bastards. Hope you're happy.

[ the feed is about to go out but a few muffled words make it through as he's cleaning up the jam: ] How did hair get in this? Ugh. Crooks.

[ - and zamo. ]

Maybe. If I ever come around to the idea of a biblical inferno.

[She sincerely hopes that possibility stays in whatever realm he's from and out of her life here and at home.]

But my point is. I'm around if you ever need some company of the non-alcoholic variety.

[allbloodyhail]

You kicked the stuff, too?

[ he always needs company, but how does he say that without sounding pathetic? oh yeah, he doesn't. ]

Could always use some companionship, when you get right down to it. Thor 2-O-1 if you're ever in the neighborhood.

I never had a problem. Not with that, anyway.

[Max liked the guy and all, so far, but she wasn't ready to share her weaknesses with anyone just yet and since the doctor that was helping her the first time was no longer here she had to find a new way to get the Tryptophan that she needed.]

I'll keep it in mind. Take care of yourself.

[allbloodyhail]

[ but something else? spike files this little tidbit away. ]

Until next time, Max.
