[Raven's been at that wine in the fountain for a good hour or so now. When life gives you lemons take them, they're free lemons right? He's pretty out of it - hugging anyone who happens to pass by, even the guys. Yeah there's birds being lovey-dubey and some flowers he keeps treading on, not to mention the fountain itself. But he's occupied with

[After a rather physical altercation with Kadaj yesterday, Buffy hasn't been the fastest stroller around town. Outwardly, she looks rather untouched but she favours her left side. She goes a-walking right by Raven, nodding solemnly as she goes.]

[slaying]

[She drinks deeply of the wine, amazed that it doesn't offer the horrible aftertaste that most of her drinking experiences have been coupled with.] Hey--not bad.

[crisis_rain]

See it's good right? [Drinking some more of it himself.] And it doesn't seem ta ever run out either!

[slaying]

Well, it's gotta be coming from somewhere.

[And after another drink, she throws a casual arm over Raven's shoulders. After all, he wasn't that much taller than her.]

[crisis_rain]

Start thinkin' like that and ya'll be wonderin' where we come from.

[A woman touching him?! Hooray for the old man! He throws an arm over you as well.] See a little love ain't so bad.

[slaying]

[She glances across at her partner-in-drink.]

Love? [Buffy snorts.] I quit.

[crisis_rain]

Love ain't just romance ya know! It's feelin' joy and happiness too!

[slaying]

Can I quit those, too?

[crisis_rain]

Sure if ya wanna, just don't quit the fountain wine.

[slaying]

[Endeared, she pats the far side of Raven's shoulders.]

It's a deal.

[crisis_rain]

[He just grins like an idiot.] That's a deal I could do with makin' as well.

[slaying]

[She's going to regret feeding this ego. Absolutely.]

Alright. Cheers to that! [And she raises her glass again.]

[crisis_rain]

[Raising his as well.]

Cheers, Buffy darlin'! [This must be about he's 40th now... bladder of steel.]

[slaying]

[Sighing after her sip, her head slips to the side and rests against the man's shoulder. Just...kindly. Affectionately.]

So what about you, huh? You got the love-bug?

[crisis_rain]

[He doesn't mind, if anything he quite enjoys the company.]

If ya mean I ended up fallin' for someone, then yeah I did. Seems like it's been happenin' all over the place.

[slaying]

Hormones. [She blames. Oh, she blames most indiscriminately.] Plus Valentine's Day. Pretty much always equals shenanigans.
