Willow found the temptation to turn and snap at Max to turn the music off almost overwhelming. She didn't need reminding of what had happened, not like this. It had been so long, and it was still so raw. She kept chopping, and scraped the leaves into the butter, before grabbing a fork and starting to mix it all together. She wasn't even letting herself look at Max. She needed to stay focused on what she was doing, because if she wasn't careful, electricity was going to start crackling around her hands, and she didn't want that. She took another deep breath and started spreading the butter on the bread. She happened to glance over at Max just as the other girl took a tumble to the floor. Willow made her way over to the other girl, grinning despite herself.
"And you were complaining because I was making your drinks too weak?" She remarked with a smirk. "No more alcohol before food," she chastised, a teasing grin still on her face. She held out a hand to pull her to her feet. The anger was gone, however briefly. It came in flashes and waves, a wound nearly healed stretched a little too tight. For a moment, she questioned if helping the heroes would ever be the right thing, if letting them die was just justice for what they had done. And then she brought herself back to reality and to Max. "Sliding around on this floor really isn't the best idea. Learned that the hard way in my first week living here."
