Well, he hadn't left. That was a start, right? Being the optimist she tended to be, Willow's smile grew a little as she excitedly replied, "We're looking for anyplace other than here that might have an Orb of Thesulah. You know, other dimensions and fun stuff like that."
She glanced to Dawn with that same perky grin. "Which we'll so find, I just know it." Looking back to Davy, she added, "Oh! A-And then, once we do find it, we're going to go to the other dimension to get it, which could be kinda fun... and maybe a little dangerous, but I'm really hoping for more of the fun angle because that'll make this all seem a little better instead of some really big, bad sort of idea and can you just agree to help us now so I can stop babbling and make with the research, please?"
And with a slight flush staining her cheeks, Willow glanced to Dawn and muttered, "You're supposed to stop me when I do that," in a good-natured tone before moving to an available seat at the table.
