-68- Sleeping With The Television On

[luckyvalentine]

[ever since she'd found that her room was right where she'd left it while seemingly the entire rest of the castle had rearranged and changed and shifted around, she hadn't spent much time in it. There was just something about the fact that it was still exactly the same, exactly how it had been for more than two years, that nagged at her.

As she

[For as long as he'd gone wondering what had happened to her, It seemed like an odd question.]

I feel like I should be asking you that.

[black_dog_bite]

[He uses his gruff, you're in trouble, young lady tone.]

Faye...

[luckyvalentine]

[ahaha... it's been a while since she's heard that tone]

You should probably ask Spike about it.

[black_dog_bite]

What's the point in that? Neither one of you ever tells me anything.

[luckyvalentine]

I dunno. He might tell you this one.

It's worth a shot. [--if only for Spike's face alone]

[black_dog_bite]

Huh. I figured you'd be more likely to spill, seeing as how you talk so much.

[luckyvalentine]

[hmmph.]

Yeah, well... in this case I think the surprise will be worth it.

[black_dog_bite]

Not gonna tell me, huh?

[luckyvalentine]

Not after you called me a loud-mouth, I'm not.

[okay, so that's not exactly what he said, but the sentiment was there. She heard it.]

[black_dog_bite]

Hey! When did I say loudmouth?

[A man of specifics, he is.]

[luckyvalentine]

Let's just say that this place really likes the holidays.

[black_dog_bite]

This sounds like something I oughtta be worried about.

[luckyvalentine]

Think of it like a surprise party. It's no fun if you only act surprised.

[...but she still kind of really hopes he'll ask Spike.]

[black_dog_bite]

A surprise party. Great.

[Although he's still curious, he's a little done with trying to drag it out of her.]

Anything else, Faye?

[luckyvalentine]

What, am I cutting into your busy day?

[black_dog_bite]

Oh, no! I just thought maybe you had some more important things to do.
