Geez - the spread was even more incredible and mouthwatering than he had envisioned. He almost felt a tinge guilty while piling such wonderful things onto his plate, as if he were sneaking into some lavish cocktail party and swiping a few shrimp before making his way out, back to where he belonged; but then again, he remembered Buffy extending a casual invite in her recording, so it seemed it didn’t quite matter that he wasn’t a very close friend indulging in this meticulously prepared feast.

Finding a place at the table where there was room, the Bronxite set down his plate and unzipped his hoodie, hanging it up on the back of his chair. He let out a light sigh as he sank into his seat, looking about the place and at his company, this curious mix of men and women, strangers and new friends. There was an empty chair... it was where Doc maybe would have sat, had he been here.

Hey Mac baby, better watch what you eat or y'won't be Little Mac no more, hahaha!Mac could almost hear the man's laughter floating in the air... and then ( ... )

Later -- perhaps at the mingling stage of the evening -- Buffy caught Mac's attention and bee-lined for the boxer.

"So? What do you think? Cuts the mustard?"

Between forkfuls of stuffing, he glanced upwards questioningly at the sound of her voice, his eyes lighting up with enthusiasm as he met her gaze.

"Oh yeah... it's awesome!" Probably best for him to swallow that mouthful first - there we go. "It's almost like what ma used t'make."

"...Gee. High compliments. That or your mom really wasn't that good of a cook." Self-deprecating. She smiled.

pugilistinpink November 22 2011, 02:54:04 UTC

His eyebrows lifted. "What...? Naw, she was... she'd have all kinds a' nice stuff made for a day like this. Stuff from scratch, yeah? It was great." His gaze shifted onto the platters lining the table, his eyes hazy and unfocused.

"Ma could make real good cheeseburger too. Y'know, I've eaten... I don' even know how many. When to a whole bunch a' places." A chuckle escaped him, a grin playing his lips. "Eaten thousands a' those things, an'... they ain't the same. They all got meat an' cheese an' everythin' else... but they's all diff'rent from hers, y'know?" He trailed off, looking back to Buffy after a long moment. "...But yeah. This is pretty sweet; must a' been real hard work, gettin' it all set up."

"...Nothing beats mom's. Nah, that's fair. I was just teasing, anyway.

Also? I had help."

pugilistinpink November 22 2011, 03:18:10 UTC

"Yeah, well, still."

He tilted his head, motioning to an empty chair. "...Anyway, how 'bout ya sit down a lil'? You should probably have somethin' t'eat before there ain't nothin' left. What if everybody in the whole village shows up?"

slaying November 22 2011, 03:35:05 UTC

"...Sit down? Me? Oh, God no. Things to do, Mac! And there's me to do'em."

pugilistinpink November 22 2011, 03:42:01 UTC

"Y'got help, 'member?" A lopsided grin. "...Not even a couple minutes?"

slaying November 22 2011, 04:01:44 UTC

"...Maybe, then. Maybe a few."

And she dropped down into the chair.

pugilistinpink November 22 2011, 05:59:45 UTC

Frankly, he had expected her to politely refuse his suggestion. "Yeah. See? It ain't half bad." He pressed his lips together gently, his lingering smile distinctly less goofy and more thoughtful. "...Happy Thanksgivin', Buffy."

slaying November 22 2011, 16:17:01 UTC

"...Right back atcha. It's one of the better ones in a while."

pugilistinpink November 22 2011, 21:22:32 UTC

"Glad t'hear that." He stabbed at a piece of broccoli with his fork. "I mean, that this one's great an' all. Gotta try t'focus on the positives. Jus' like y'said."

slaying November 23 2011, 01:08:01 UTC

"Right. Think positive. I'm sure there's a song that says to do that..."

pugilistinpink November 23 2011, 01:28:40 UTC

"I bet...! Can't really think a' any song titles right now, though. Guess all that turkey an' stuffin' went straight t'my brain, huh."

slaying November 23 2011, 12:41:12 UTC

"Ah, the dreaded impending turkey coma."
