Anya comes in and grabs a seat next to Rory. Hopefully, Jack will stay the hell away from her again sit elsewhere.

The discussion today intrigues her.

"Well, when you talk to strangers, you don't wish they were dead," she says in her usual bubbly voice.

[She will never get used to Anya's blunt manner. Her jaw drops for a moment, then she says...]

Anya, would you care to elaborate?

ooc: o.k., but remember you asked her to.

"Well, if someone is no longer your friend, it's probably because they have done something very wrong, and hurt you. Not hurt you, like 'Here, have a knife through your chest' like Buffy's been known to do, but made you have very sad feelings that make your insides hurt. You probably wish you could kill them, or at least disembowel them or something," breath, "with strangers you don't have that kind of relationship." she finishes and smiles at CJ.

[She stands for a moment in stunned silence, and then says...]

Anya, I think the most disturbing part of what you've said is the accuracy of it. Personally, I have wished for, let's say "certain kinds of harm" to befall people. Generally that kind of anger stems from a deeply intimate relationship...more than just friends. I think everyone who has ever had a broken heart wants a little payback.

"Well, I think people like that deserve more than a little payback, Professor," she says in her usual blunt honest way.
