Reporting for Duty (OTA- Dual Post)

When Alice walked into Rangeman, she noticed that Riley was re-dressing a wound on his lower arm. She surveyed him quietly with her eyes. He'd been fighting again and it was starting to get hard to tell who was winning. Instead of walking by him, she approached the front desk where he was currently sitting

Buffy had been concerned about Riley. She was noticing the tell tale signs of what she'd done when she'd first come back to life. It had been a niggling suspicion at first but it was getting stronger now. She'd even followed him one night thinking that he was going to Fangtasia for some biting and she wasn't sure if she was relieved or not that he'd gone into the fight club.

She was determined to find out what was up but she didn't want to just come out and ask. Buffy knew from her own experience that he'd probably tighten up and go on the defensive so this called for sneaky.

Her hand knocked on the doorjamb into his office. "Hey, feel like buying a girlfriend a meal?"

Riley looked up at the noise and smiled when he saw Buffy. It was always a genuine smile when he looked at her - how could it not be? "Hey."

He turned in his chair and then got up. The only indication of fighting on his face was a healing bruise under is right eye. The rest of his injuries were lower. Bruises, mostly. "Sure. Have a type of meal in mind?"

"How about a romantic picnic?" Buffy waggled her eyebrows. "Stop at the cafe and get some sandwiches to go and head over to the lake?" She wanted some privacy for this conversation.

"Picnic it is, then." The idea of a romantic lunch with Buffy was appealing. He sent a quick message off to Alice he was going to lunch and then moved to meet Buffy with a smile. "You get the greatest ideas, you know?"
