ANYA: Then where are they? Why aren't they here?

TARA: I don't know.

ANYA: (getting agitated) They could be hurt. Xander could be lying somewhere broken and bleeding, calling out my name.

TARA: Anya.

ANYA: Like that, oh god! What if, what if they're really hurt, what if they're dead?

TARA: (firmly) They're not.

ANYA: How do you know?

TARA: Because he's with Willow. And if something ... happened, I'd know. (softly) And so would you.

ANYA: (calmer) You think?

TARA: I'm sure of it. (hugs her) They're fine. (trying to convince herself) They're both fine. Maybe they got lost, in the woods.

ANYA: The woods? Are we going back to the woods? I hate the woods. All those woodsy trees.

TARA: (excited) No, it's okay. Lost is good. Willow and I always know how to find each other!

ANYA: With yoga?

TARA: Ssh! Aradia, hear my words...
