slovechnia ♔ hey little sister what have you done

♬ White Wedding - Billy Idol

WHO || Failboat, Dimitris Sarandis, Amanda Moulet, invited wedding guests, and more [closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to Slovechnia to interrupt Dimitris' wedding to Dumage's sister
WHERE || Flight from London to Slovechnia; Slovechnia
WHEN || Sometime in February
HOW || Actionspam or prose

The morning after, the Knights board a plane at their private airfield, and begin the couple hour flight to the country of Slovechnia.  Wynn has laid out a plan for them as such, leaving Sir Gar in charge of seeing it executed:  they are to send in a few Knights to infiltrate the wedding, while others steal an ambulance from a local hospital.  Using magic to make Sarandis think he's having a heart attack during the ceremony, they will intercept the outgoing call to the paramedics, and pose as them to take him out of there and straight to a private airfield to meet with Wynn.  They're all aware, however, of just how smoothly their plans tend to go where these villains are involved - especially if the Mind Master shows up.  

Either way, it promises to be an interesting day...

I mean I can't.

[That's...not an answer, but she sure doesn't look like she's going to elaborate.]

[slay]

[ That sounds a lot like equal parts both choice, stubborn belief, and literal inability to Buffy, so she doesn't stop pushing with an intent expression that seems to be trying to reach her from far away (sense motive 24). ]

Can't is different than won't because you believe you shouldn't. So are you telling me you can't, Elena? Or you won't?

[doubletake]

Both.

[Her frustration seems to be growing, as if she realizes that Buffy wouldn't let this go, no matter how much she tried to make her understand, but angered by the futility of it all.]

The things I could tell you will only lead to more questions, and those I can't answer, because then I will be in danger.

[slay]

In danger from who? [ She holds up a hand. ] If you can't say, then let me guess. You don't have to say anything: just nod or shake your head. Is it the Mind Master?

[doubletake]

[Her lips press into a hard line.]

I already told you this isn't about the mission, Buffy.

[slay]

That doesn't mean it isn't about her. [ Coolly, with the resolve of someone who wants to rip the Mind Master's head off, bad dye job and all, for daring to harm her friend: ] You aren't shaking your head.

[doubletake]

[She just pinches the bridge of her nose before she shakes her head 'no' once.]

You need to stop this, Buffy.

[slay]

[ Her jaw tightens, both frustrated and seemingly confused by Elena's new reply. Whatever it is, she pushes through it to firmly rule, ] That's not gonna happen.

[doubletake]

Yes, it is.

[Her voice is firm and, at this point, pissed.]

I had thought you might respect my wishes, but it's pretty clear now that that's not going to happen. You say you're worried about me, but the moment I tell you that pushing is going to hurt me, you do it anyway. You say you trust me, but you don't trust my judgement enough to let it go when I've asked you repeatedly.

[Her eyes flash with both pain and anger.]

I love you, Buffy. I do. So stop this before I say something we'll both regret.

[slay]

[ Well her will save was not that.

Recoiling at the sudden rebuff, Buffy straightens, startled and uncomfortable with the show of strength in how Elena lashes out. It's unlike what Buffy has seen of her, and she doesn't want to consider what the implications of that are. Slowly, Buffy puts her tray table up and unbuckles, climbing out of her seat with her tablet and purse. ]

Don't worry. I'll find another seat.

[doubletake]

[Elena's eyes flick away at that, her expression cooling into an emotionless mask, seemingly unaffected by Buffy's reaction. When she speaks, her voice is deadpan and icy.]

Thank you.
