46th Slay [Action]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is sitting out on the patio of the coffee shop. Instead of her usual mocha, she's got a pot of tea sitting on the table. She's got some fashion magazines with her and she's flipping through them but really, she's watching the incoming crowd of people. She's definitely looking for people from Sunnydale but she'll welcome any distractions in

[A vampire with glowing eyes is watching you from the shadows, Buffy. He isn't sure why he's here, but he's certain he hates it.]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy doesn't really notice it until she gets up to head back to the warehouse and then...glowing eyes are different.]

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to skulk in shadows. Stalking does not equal love.

[harthfray]

Depends on where you're standing. I stalked the girl I loved all my... [Well, not life.] ...death.

[He steps a little closer so that she can get a good look.]

Hello, Slayer.

[whattingawhat]

Ooooh I bet you read the 'How to be a Vampire' handbook to find both of those moves.

[She's got her arms crossed over her chest and her weight is back on one foot but she's kind of subtly looking for a stake.]

[harthfray]

It's not that simple. There aren't book for anyone like me.

[He watches her closely, but he doesn't seem too concerned.]

I'm not just any lurk.

[whattingawhat]

Right. You're very special because Daddy loved you the most.

[harthfray]

Still off the mark. Guess again. [He searches his mind-- he's seen this girl time and time again in dreams, and once with his eyes open besides, but it's a moment before he decides which bit of her history to run with.] No soul really loved me at all until your friend the witch.

[whattingawhat]

[Her eyes go wide when that moment of recognition hits.] You're from bizarro world with the flying cars.

[harthfray]

Most go with 'Haddyn,' but sure. Bizarro world it is.

[He smirks and takes a step closer.]

Buffy, isn't it?

honestly I can't remember if she actually met him or not

[whattingawhat]

[At least he's an agreeable lurk. She doesn't step away when he steps closer. Buffy's not in the habit of giving away ground when threatened.]

Yup. Sorry your name wasn't on the top of my list of things to remember that day.

they didn't really have a formal introduction

[harthfray]

Harth, if it matters, You didn't have to know it to be the reason I'm still alive.

[whattingawhat]

[She rocks her weight back on her heel, giving him a head tilt and some confused looks.]

Uhm...repeat. Rewind. Huh?
