The sudden humor on Julianna's face caused her features to soften into a more approachable expression, and the corners of her mouth lifted as she smiled. "I know how random catastrophes can ruin a perfectly good day. You can be having a marvelous time on an outing, and the next thing you know, the world's ending."
She regarded the stone where it sat on the table between herself and Valerie. It looked unremarkable. Certainly not as ominous as something that had been handed off by a questionable entity. The Watcher picked it up, held it in the palm of her left hand. The obsidian surface was so smooth that it seemed as if it had been polished. The weight was negligible. If it had emanations coming from it, she wasn't aware of it.
"I'll return it as soon as I can," she assured the Slayer, putting the stone into the pocket of her slacks. It mingled with the spare change and the cafeteria receipt from when she'd purchased her lunch. Her sandwich was nearly finished, just the end of the bread still resting on the napkin. "And I'll let you know what I learn, if I learn anything at all."
The older woman put away her notepad, rubbed the back of her neck. "Is there anything you wanted to ask me right now? Any concerns to discuss?"
