I spun around when I heard my name. I had just left Cordelia and was hoping for a quiet walk home and who should catch me, but the man that I promised I wouldn't do just what I am doing.
"Hi Riley"
I said in a soft, not so chipper tone. I didn't want the inquisition, I just wanted to go home, finish packing and move on. I still had to find movers, and tell Buffy and Giles what I had planned, and even talk to Wesley..but none of that would happen tonight.
I looked around, trying not to be obvious in scanning the streets for demons, and then looked at her.
"You know, nothing like a mocha in the morning, Willow, but in the before bed hours? You are going to be a zombie in class tomorrow."
That was an interesting way for me to bring up her not going out in this town at night.
Of course, I couldn't be entirely truthful with her, and I couldn't be as stern as I had been with Buffy, because, yeah, that didn't go very well.
"Always take late night strolls to the espresso pump?" I asked with a smile, still fully planning on going after hostile seventeen, only that would be after I made sure that she was safely home.
"A friend..or whatever I am supposed to call her was in town we decided to have coffee and talk."
I said explaining why I was out so late.
"That and I needed the caffiene, I have a lot to do tonight."
I thought about asking, or rather bribing him to help me move, but I voted against it, I would rather just pay movers than ask someone that I barely know to do it for free.
"As for me being out and lots of umm muggers, I don't think I have anything to worry about. I have my protection, stakes, cross, holy water..."
I just realized what I said, way to go Willow, spill the beans to someone who most likely has no clue.
"I mean, mace..yeah I have mace."
I said trying to cover, not doing such a good job.
The investigator in me had to cover the look of shock on my face and replace it with a look of yeah, you're crazy, instead.
It wasn't much of a different face, but I couldn't believe that she knew about vampires.
I was quiet, and needed to say soemthing soon, but it was clear that some people in this town kept their eyes open and that Buffy was probably one of them.
Of course, because of national security purposes, I couldn't bring that up with her.
"Stakes, holy water, crosses, Willow? I think you might be depriving yourself of sleep, or you are having too many espresso's and then staying up late and watching Dracula movies...."
I gave her a serious look. "Are you okay, Willow?"
