35th Slay [voice]
[Apologies don't come easy to Buffy. She's entirely too bossy for that so when she finally speaks, her words are a little hesitant and flipped around to divert this whole apology thing]So...the whole humiliation thing...thanks so much City. Because pulling a Xena warrior princess thing isn't enough I also have to do the Romeo and Juliet thing. Okay

[Hear that deep breath? For future reference, assuming you still speak to her after this, that is the only warning sign you will ever get that she is about to launch into an epic ramble] Oh good because liking the gold bikini and liking Tweedle Moe [It's possible she's mixing up the stooges and Alice in Wonderland--there are resemblances!] in tights are very colliding---concluding---crashing likes of things to like. Not that you couldn't--if tights on punks is your idea of--I'm open minded. Brain falling out of my head open minded so that's totally fine if you like that sort of thing. Personally, I'm not a tights girl or...usually...gold bikinis but--and not that my opinion is-of either. I just...
wait...
did you...lucky?
Right. [Grinning, blushing. Oh look she knows how to imitate a sixteen year old girl.] Good curse. Relatively speaking. I mean not that there's...relative. My shoe collection for a hole to crawl into or even a way to shut up and rewind that ramble.
[Did you put in an order for more awkward because...sort of getting it.]

It was yeah, a good curse. I mean... I had a good time. [ Clears his throat. Oh, boy. ]
It's a little weird, huh?

Well some people would think that it was normal with the me fighting monsters and you taking me for hot dogs on the beach later. Other people that are probably not you because even if you can set people's faces on fire--and I have to say eww because the smell but handy for bonfires and hot dog roasting and smores. We should have had smores.
[Pause, pause let her brain catch up with her mouth]
You were talking about the curse right. Not the date. Not that it would have been a date if we weren't cursed. I mean I like hot dogs and California girl here so the beach is always a hit parade with me and dating is...usually complicated which this is so bill fitting here. [You can *hear* the face palm]
A little weird. Yeah.

I'm really good. I mean Dawn and I are fighting because I called her hippy when she stole my skirt but she called me short so I'm pretty sure it's all even steven. Not that you asked about the fighting which is a usual thing and not affecting the 'I'm really good' statement.
[And finally something resembling manners and the normal flow of human conversation takes over] Are you okay? [She's still trying not to do the staring thing while she's on video and he can see it.]

Is Dawn still married, or was that just a curse?
Reply
[Oh thank you for changing the subject to something that's not *them* related]
Just a curse. Aya is her boyfriend but I'm pretty sure they're not at the marrying stage of things. He lives with us but not with her. I mean he has his own room. I have a warehouse. That we live in.

[She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and sits down cross legged on the floor, pulling the device with her. She isn't aware of the matchmaking, yet. She would be torn about it if she did. You know between killing her little sister and thanking her.]
Not that I'm saying Dawn should get married. Or that marriage is...I'm neutral on the subject of marriage as long as it's not my little sister.

[ Now here's to fucking up any chance of spending any more time with Buffy. ]
I'm a jerk. You know that, right? I mean, I'm not a nice guy. That whole curse thing was just... it wasn't me.

He gets a head tilt from her and a furrowed brow at his jerk statement. She's dated a few jerks, a couple self proclaimed even. It probably doesn't have the effect he thinks it will]
Sort of something I like to figure out about a person myself. Plus, maybe I have a jerk fetish. Goes along with the not liking when people try to tell me what to do with my life peeve. [Hackles are up. Defiance in full swing. You might be a jerk, Pyro but you've just insured she's going to find out for herself instead of being word takey. Besides she once dated the scourge of Europe and William the Bloody. How bad can it be?]

Hold on. You have a jerk fetish?

Not that I want to be jerked to because I will not hesitate to hit you in the face, Fire Boy or not. [Yes now there is theoretical jerk happening and she's issuing warnings] Or to Dawn because again with the face hitting but Curly [Sorry Nathan, she's picked up Pyro's name for you] Jerk away. [A giant sigh here and she tugs on her pony tail a bit] I like to make up my own mind about people and I rarely heed warnings. I'd rather find out for myself.
[A pause and then a grin that's teasing and playful] And then hit you in the face if you're a jerk to me. It's all very violent. There could be blood.

But hey, I get it. It's a fair warning. I was just... sort of giving you one too.
In case, you wanted to have coffee sometime. [ Smooth. ]
Reply
She recovers from her mortification because hey date on the line and if he's still sticking around...well that was pretty smooth as far as invites go] yes [Ok now less with the muffled as she manages to pull her hand away from her mouth] Yes to coffee. Although there are people who would argue that a caffeinated Buffy is a bad thing. My brain has even less control over my mouth but at least I'd have an excuse.
Reply
Or not.
Whatever it is, he just wants to get to know her. Cause right now, all he's got on Buffy is that she kills monsters, and uh, likes it rough. ]
