"The Hyperion is a great place," Willow agreed with a nod and a shake of Sam's hand, once Gabriel had finished speaking. She couldn't keep the grin from her face if she tried. Really, she couldn't. Motioning around the (still messy) lobby, she added, "Of course, we're smack dab in the middle of a big old cleanup following some issues but really, it's the safest place in the city and chock full of great people."
A brief pause and then she realized she'd gotten a bit off track. Quickly, the redhead added, "And I'm actually from here. Well, not here here, but Sunnydale which is only an hour or so away from here. So I'm pretty used to the strange things that happen, especially since this place even at its weirdest isn't half as strange as Sunnydale used to be."
Stopping herself before she got into that, she added, "I guess the first thing we should probably talk about is the fact that obviously you aren't from this same time period... and that a few others are in that same situation, too, so it's not like it's unheard of." Her brow furrowed. "Has anyone else talked to you about any of this? Because I don't want to waste your time bringing up stuff you already know."
