What in the blazes...?
[Wes spins around, once, then twice, trying to get his bearings; to make sense of what he's experiencing. He examines himself with bemusement, somewhat mortified that he's only in his boxers. Where had his clothes gone? Surely inter-dimensional travel did not whisk away one's outer garments ( Read more... )

[Not off to a good start, are we? Trying this again.]
Buffy. Good to see you, although I would have preferred slightly less disturbing circumstances.
What's this about you and Spike being 'with' each other?

And then the last bit just makes her do a spittake. Or, well, she would, if she had been drinking. As such she just makes an equally surprised-slash-offended face. And then a scoff. ]
Boy, you know, when I told him to cool it on the soul-spiel, I didn't really think he'd replace it with the sex scandal. There is no with. Zero with. With to a negative degree. I -- He works with me. In a strictly friendish ... work-y capacity. Patrolling. Pest control.

Now you're not easing him into the soul thing.
[...also to defend himself because he doesn't want Buffy to get pissy when he didn't do anything. He knows she would, too.]
And I didn't imply sex scandal. That one's all on Percy here. I just meant I was on your side. You know, as part of my easing plan.

Oh. Well, that's -- [ So, she was the one who ... made with the sex life sharing which is ironically enough exactly what Wesley was ribbing her about and she is just going to stare blankly and awkwardly now and oh god what is her life. ]
Right.

Soul-spiel? What on earth are you talking about? Is Angel here?
[Wes glares at them both for being utterly confusing.]
I did ask in what capacity, thank you very much. And you have to admit that Buffy's track record is...
[Best to not go there.]

[He looks offended on Buffy's behalf, but the problem is that... well, they did sleep together. It's really hard to defend her honour here.]
It's not a sodding track record.

[ fuuuu. ]
Aren't we all conveniently overlooking the fact that I'm currently in a very happy, very healthy relationship with a very normal guy? As in guy who is alive.

[He pulls himself up short, not sure if now is the time to speak of the Shanshu prophecy.]
Buffy, is this true?
[Belatedly he processes Buffy's statements about her romantic relationships.]
Well, congratulations. That's...good, isn't it? Upgrading to the living, I mean.

[...it's possible he's got jealousy issues. It's more than possible. He gives Wes a look, but doesn't comment on the Shanshu thing. It really isn't the time.]

Gee, you know, I think if you tried, you could be a little more jealous.
[ She huffs. ] Yeah, it's true -- Not the not an upgrade part, the soul part. Very soul-y. Hence the with.

[Wes is still having trouble wrapping his head around this.]
How did he-? Was he cursed by gypsies as well?
Reply
No, mine's not a curse. I sought it out. Long story.

Very long! And -- And dull. Which, I know, a Watcher's favorite kind, but there's no day like today to try and break you of the grouch-inducing habit. [ Bright smile. She really does not want to ... get into the why's. For obvious reasons. ]
Let's move onto this throwing every what out of huh?

There's an ancient prophecy written on the Scrolls of Aberjian. It mentions the vampire with the soul. The main gist of it, since you asked for brevity, is that once he fulfills his destiny, he will...become human again.
