Descend drabble

For open_on_sunday's challenge "Descend" and writercon100's challenge "Fall." I'm efficient sometimes.

A Calm Sea Does Not A Skilled Sailor Make
Post-Season 6

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are beginning our descent towards Heathrow. Please fasten your seatbelts and return your seatbacks to their upright position."

Giles glances down at the city far below as the jumbo jet banks and dips its wing. Beside him, Willow hasn't moved or spoken for hours. Now she grips the armrests even tighter, her knuckles white.

The plane lurches, falls a few hundred feet, as if remembering that it's heavier than air. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing some slight turbulence. Please remain seated."

Giles puts his hand on Willow's. She doesn't relax, but the plane lands safely.

This is actually part of a longer series of drabbles I've been working on for some time... maybe I'll even post the rest of them before the decade is over.

What's the series' main theme?

Gonna read your latest one, too.

Hey! I didn't know you read any of my other stuff. You must be one of those silent ninja readers.

What's the series' main theme?

Giles and Willow in England, and their past and future. There's a couple more here (http://beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com/36728.html) and here (http://beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com/27761.html#cutid1); I just never manage to get around to tying them all up into something coherent.

You must be one of those silent ninja readers.

Sorry. :oops: I suck at both reading and commenting lately.
