[Danny lets Buffy lead him away, because yes, he knows what's about to happen but that doesn't mean he wants to see it. He may be the leader now, but he's also still a kid. And he feels like there's been enough carnage today.
But he also understands why they can't let her walk away.
He also takes in the shapes coming closer, and his eyes widen with relief when he sees one of them.]
Bonnie.
[Stefan cuts ahead, holding out his arms to Buffy as Danny moves past him, pulling her in close and holding her tightly. She's okay. He knew she would be but part of him was still worried.
"Dawn's okay. She's got a broken leg but Isaac took her to the hospital so she should be fine."]
[Scarlett does not care about the carnage so she will slip past to go see her family. Stefan glances past her over her should and decides that no, he doesn't want to know.]
Clara and Lee were sent into town with Isaac and Dawn. Lindsay and Beck found Whitney and got her out too. But ...
[He doesn't want to tell her this, because these are her girls, and he knows she takes a lot of responsibility for them. But at the same time, she needs to be prepared.]
( Faith turns right back around, almost as if on a dolly, hands coming up. Not at all her circus. She pats a hand on Danny's shoulder.
"Good to see you, Harry."
Buffy takes that in. Twenty-odd exceptional women unable to live their lives because of a vendetta that had nothing to do with them. She leans forward again, giving herself a moment to grieve in his arms.

( Bonnie holds Danny close, hand around his head, breathing him in.
Buffy takes the bruising-on-both-sides hug and leans back. )
Thank you. ( Hurt, but okay. She kisses Stefan quick, but ends it in time to hold a hand out to Faith. )
You don't want to go back there. Damon, Rhett, Wes, and Melanie will be along shortly.
( She will enter general mode once they're above ground. )
And everyone else?

Beyond that, not a lot of survivors.

Bonnie leans back. ) Are you okay?

Danny nods as he pulls back to look at her.]
Yeah, I'm okay. My magic protected us from a lot of it. Are you?

( "Yeah," Buffy says. "We don't know how stable everything is. I know I'd feel better with grass beneath my feet." )

[And with that they will all venture out onto the grounds and start truly assessing the damage.]
