Buffy's axe wasn't exactly Bavarian - she wasn't sure what time period it was from, but she'd ripped it off a suit of armor in the main hallway. There hadn't been a whole lot of time to stress over historical details anyway. Not when there were dinosaurs tearing around the corners of the castle.

As she rounded a turn, she was both surprised and... not surprised at all to see Angel swinging a weapon around, beheading one of the monsters. But she didn't give him a lot of time to celebrate. Before she could even say 'hello', she heard hissing right behind her, and turned with wide eyes to face another five or six of them bearing down at her.

"RUN," was all she managed to say, as she spun the blade around, taking out the first one in a spray of blood and bone and uck. There was a door nearby, and she yanked it open, gesturing for Angel to get in there asap.

He heard her voice before he saw her-- a brief flash of her, anyway, as she rushed past him to open the door. It was just like Buffy, to also be out and about saving people. He wanted to give a monologue about his concern for her, but now wasn't the time. Maybe after the raptors were gone.

He dodged into the door, pulling Buffy after him. Like hell he was leaving her out there to battle vicious bloodthirsty dinosaurs. One of the raptors got caught in the door, and he hacked at it with an axe until it was just Buffy, Angel, and 1/3rd of a raptor holed up in the room.

"Uhh.... so." This wasn't how he envisioned their finally reuniting at all. It showed in his even more awkward than usual awkwardness.

Buffy stared down at the raptor head with a tiny frown. "I hope they have someone in charge of waxing the floors around here."

She lowered the axe, glancing around the room to reaffirm that yes, they were cornered for the moment. Finally, her gaze settled back onto Angel. He looked a little more uncomfortable than she'd expected.

"So," she returned, deciding to start with the basics. "I'm glad you're alive. That was pretty much a relief, considering that this place seems to be all about topping its own high score at the death toll game."

"Maybe we can rent a buffer." He replied, deadpan, and got on the task of scanning the room. The really were alone. More or less, anyway. He lowered his axe, too, and took to brooding with his back against the wall. The last time he saw her, it had been on... not-so-good terms, and he was expecting more of that. But where he was more uncomfortable than she expected, Buffy was more... comfortable than he expected.

Maybe she was just in her element. Raptors and all.

"I'm not really-- well. Thanks, anyway. I'm glad you're alive, too. You are safe, right? Like you said?"
