[If there's one thing Adstringendum is good at, it's yanking people around. Where Horst had been laughing and giddy the night before, he's...well, not now.]

Mina was sent home. I'm sure those of you who knew here are aware, but....

[But he personally checked everywhere she could possibly have gone. Just in case. Hope springs eternal, they say.

As he shuts off the feed, there's the faint sound of something German-sounding. Or maybe it was just static.]

Are you awake?

[Horst nods; he's had a few drinks, but it's never really enough, and Spike has always been good company. He holds up two fingers--two minutes--and ends the feed.

When he turns up he smells faintly of brandy, but he hops up nimbly and sits on a windowsill]

[He kicks a chair over to the window, sits and holds out a bottle to Horst.]

Have I told you lately just how glad I am you and Buffy turned up in this pit?

[He chuckles.] I haven't always been sane, you know. Spent a little while being insane last year.

Seems to be par for the course for those of us who are undead. You came out of it all right, I dare say.

Well, I went insane when I got my soul back. It's... a bit difficult to deal with all the things one has done for a century when one has a conscience back. [He shrugs.] Buffy came by every so often. It... helped. Even if she was right furious with me at the time.
