Spike is currently the recipient of a Buffy Original 'What is up with your weird behavior' look. She's very carefully not commenting on the subject of 'that woman' however, as she probably doesn't want to know, and it's not her place to ask.

"Not vampires, certainly. They're supposed to suck blood, not... not hair pigment." William crosses his arms.
"Look, there's probably a scientific explanation. Mirrors, maybe. You can do a lot with them. And as for my hair, well, I've heard of people seeing something terrifying and their hair going white with the shock. Perhaps that happened."

Buffy has her eyes closed by this point, and she's pinching the bridge of her nose in exasperation.
"'Shock'?" She repeats, opening her eyes to give him a 'really?' look. "You know, for a guy who's supposed to be a poet, you're kinda lacking in the imagination department."

"It could also be some sort of dye, I suppose. Why I'd willingly do this or let someone else do it, I can't fathom, but I don't see how refusing to believe into things that don't exist means I lack imagination!"

It's kind of hilarious how Buffy and Spike can argue in a petty fashion, even when Spike isn't actually Spike. What's irritating her right now is that she can't think of a way to prove the existence of vampires that William will believe - though an idea is rapidly forming. She moves back to the couch again, sitting down and flicking her hair aside to expose her neck, and more specifically the scars left there by the Master and Angel and Dracula, for him to see.
"Fine. How do you scientifically suggest I got these?"

William leans over to look at the scars and frowns. "It could have been some sort of fork, or a skewer, perhaps. Are you claiming Drusilla made those?"

She laughs at the notion of a fork or skewer being responsible for her scars - that's almost as bad as 'the angry puppy'. Brushing her hair back into place, she fixes William with a serious look, however.
"No, she didn't. But a vampire did. Vampires multiple, in fact. I can't make you believe me - but I promise that I'm only saying this because I don't want to see you get hurt."

William sits back, looking at her thoughtfully. He's not a great judge of character, but this woman doesn't seem the sort to mock a man for gullibility. Either that or she's a very, very good actor. She doesn't seem crazy or deluded or stupid. Eccentric, perhaps, but not crazy. He's still not sure if he believes her, but considering all the other impossible things he's seen today, maybe, just maybe it's possible.

Plus, Drusilla had said he was very imaginative.

"Vampires, huh," he says softly.
