07:48post-apocalypse splendor goes i've done wonders with the place
07:52yeah still the sooner buffy gets back the better i'll feel you and me both big guy
08:01take it you're not an angel fan either well it's not like i hate the guy
08:07just you know the guts part of them can't blame you but to be fair it's not him you hate it's the
08:15curse right what did buffy tell you about angel everything more than i wanted to know sometimes
08:33she loved him he turned evil he uh killed people she cured him he left
08:43an interesting little curse one moment's happiness
08:49what do you mean you know it's his trigger angle's an okay guy if he's
08:55mopey and sad and brooding but you give him even one second of pure
08:59real pleasure and that sets him off only in the big old kill your friends kind of way
09:07and you know what makes angel happiest i'll give you a hint it's not creme brulee
09:12it's not creme brulee it's not creme brulee it's not creme brulee it's not creme brulee
09:19buffy
09:29sex with buffy
09:36she kind of left that part out huh
09:39yeah she did
09:45that explains a lot of things that i wish weren't explained hey man that's all ancient history
09:56she went running to la to bone up on her history no i'm sure it's boneless
10:02i'm sure it's boneless
10:05she just needs to make sure everything's okay she's probably back already maybe
10:14you'll feel a lot better when you see her
10:19i guess we'll see
10:20it
10:27if i leave here tomorrow
10:35would you still remember me
10:42well i must be traveling on
10:50there's too many places i've got to see
10:58and if i stay here with you
11:06things just couldn't be the same
11:10because i'm as free as a bird now
11:20you know for someone who's got watcher on his resume
11:23you might want to cast an eye to the front door every now and again
11:28what do you want ah knew we left one buffy around why
11:40i need to speak to the lady of the house it'd be a patent give her a message for me would you
11:45tell her i just might have something she just might want and what might that something be
11:53information highly classified not cheap wood on the street prattle either i'm talking about the
12:00good stuff now thrill me it's nothing i know what you think i come running over saying i've got a
12:09secret beat me till i talk there's files in the initiative i'm pretty sure i know where
12:19files yeah secrets
12:25mission statements design schematics all of maggie washer's dirty laundry which i guess
12:32would include lots of tidbits about adam well yeah say someone was to risk his life and limb
12:41well limb anyway to obtain said files might be worth a little something
12:48at this point a cynical person might think that you are offering just what we need when we need
12:54it most that person be right rupert supply and demand and it won't be cheap this time
13:02what do you want here supply of blood guaranteed protection mary bushels of cash
13:09and most important a guarantee that i'm not to be in any way slain
13:17done with a smile and a nod from you sorry not close to good enough this deals with the slayer
13:27i'll tell her oh you'll tell her great comfort that what makes you think she'll listen to you
13:35because
13:38very convincing and her watcher
13:44i think you're neglecting the past tense there rupert
13:48besides she barely listened to you when you were in charge i've seen the way she treats you
13:54i guess how's that very much like a retired librarian
14:01look i've got what she wants as long as she has what i want
14:07spread the word she knows where to find me
14:12i'll think about it
14:16i keep thinking okay that's the cutest thing ever and then she does something cuter
14:23and completely resets the whole scale did you see her yawn earlier yes i thought i was gonna die
14:32oh i love you miss kitty fantastical we've got to get her a real name it's so cool that she's ours
14:43yours that she's yours is it's cool she can be ours if you want
14:50you still need an elective how about sophomore level psychology oh
14:58kind of psyched out since professor walsh maybe something fun like drama i could be dramatic
15:09you cannot have more catnip you have a catnip problem
15:15problem definitely drama
15:22they haven't even dealt with a housing situation yet have you done anything i hear there's some
15:30off-campus places that are way cool for groups to you know go in on oh i just figured you'd be
15:36dorming up with buffy again we haven't really talked about it i used to assume we'd be roomies
15:44through grad school well into little old ladyhood you know cheating at bingo together and
15:51forgetting to take her pills but but i don't know hardly feels like we're roomies now
16:04i mean she's busy with riley and i'm gone a lot too

16:32you joined the circus
16:37xander took my clothes to clean them left me these
