I know... I'm useless, can't believe a word I say for any good reason. [he pauses.]

Hidin' the things that hurt is much easier than admitting they exist.

[ buffy plucks her words rather carefully out of all the things she could say. ]

...You're right. It's way, way easier. At first.

The badness has a way of bubbling up to the surface and letting everyone know about it -- all on its own. Accidentally.

[That's something he knows oh so well... he's good at hiding things, but even he can crack at times.]

Yeah, that's why I'm goin' off on my own for a little while. I like bein' able to deal with my stuff alone. Worryin' others isn't on my list of things to do in life.

Sometimes you can work so hard at not worrying others that it makes them worry even more. [ story of her life. and death. and re-life. ]

We could spend a little time together before you went off on your own. If you wanted. No pressure -- no obligation to say yes.

[ aha. this just about clues her in to what must have taken place. this plus his earlier conversation opener. ]

[He laughs a little. People worrying about him? Naaaah, nobody cares about this old fart.]

Is that your way of saying "hey old man, make me some of those lovely crepes again~"?

Maybe! But uh... our house is a little trashed right now thanks to a certain mage who's got a habit of casting spells in her sleep...

Come over to seven. Double the fun for the same price. My company and a relatively quiet space.

Sounds like a plan! I'll be over in a minute, you don't exactly live far away. [Like 4 doors down the path...] I'll bring some ingredients too.

I'll bring my ears.

[ at least it's not the window this time.

buffy answers -- she's in her pajamas. it's one of those days. ]

Hi. Come on in. Make yourself at home. You know the drill.
