It was already becoming dark out by the time Spike made it to the docks. However, he could clearly spot the figure staring out into the water, waiting in the open like a perfectly willing target. Pretty trusting move on his part considering how many people he’d managed to piss off in the city. The guy seemed so eager to get in a fight that he had probably left as soon as he broke contact with him

It wasn't just that he had the tendency to act like one -- Namae had the sharp senses of a dog, too, and he heard, rather than saw, the other approaching, catching the rhythmic tap of heels on concrete. And so he whirled around to leer at the bounty hunter, eyes narrowed to an unimpressed glare, grip tightening about the pipe as he watched the adjusting of the gun holster.
(Guns. They were so clean, so neat. Sure, people said that any method of killing a person was gross, but guns were on the nice side -- shoot a guy from ten feet away, and you don't get any blood on your hands. Bang, and it's over. Namae has a gun, too, and a damn nice one, but shooting someone just isn't the same as beating their skull in with a well-placed blow. There's more intimacy in murdering a person in hand-to-hand. More respect, too, though he didn't care too much for that

The lazy lopsided grin didn't leave Spike's face as he watched Namae ready himself. He had good energy. Shame that he didn't seem like the type who would benefit from a lecture. The guy probably expected Spike to have some plan, or at least an idea of how he wanted it to end, but he didn't like to over think things. Besides, never used to need a reason; he was already ahead of himself

And Namae waited silently, surprisingly still for a person so filled with wild energy, watching the other's little show with narrowed eyes. The careless toss of the gun, the roll of shoulders, the little ceremony that always preceded a good fight. It usually worth the wait, back where he'd come from -- and hopefully this wouldn't be an exception
