(oo2) (video) ♐ lord i've gotta keep moving where i can't be found

[watcherless]

Damn, you don't think they coulda put on the brochure how uptight the docs around here can be? I'm itching to get discharged and I've only been here, what, a week? I'm a big girl, tie my own shoes and everything. So, just show me who I've gotta talk to so I can get discharged, and I'm out

[ Shit

[Spike doesn't care much for the scenery. He's already almost gotten used to going about in daylight, though he squints a lot.]

Ask her. [He glances over. Yeah, it's complicated, and he's not going into it.] Guess I've done enough favors over the years to warrant some company.

[action]

[watcherless]

Favors, huh? [ She holds her hands up in surrender and lets him get away with the vague. ] Good enough for me. Doubt she's gonna be excited for me to be all up in the house guest status, but you'd know better than me. [ She's definitely asking about Spike, though. Seriously, does this chick just have a vamp thing or what? ]

[Spike glances at her sharply at the way she says 'favors.' But he lets it go--it'll sound better coming from Buffy, anyway, the whole world saving business.]

Dunno everything that's between you two, but figure she'll want to know you're set up, anyway.

[watcherless]

Guessin' she hasn't dropped the control freak vibe then, huh? [ A shrug. ] Almost like I never left.

[idolstolemylook]

[Spike isn't quite sure how to react to that, given the whole mutiny thing, but he shrugs.]

More or less. Still. Might find her a little different. Should give her a chance.

[action]

[watcherless]

I'm not the one who's got trouble giving chances. [ She gives him a narrow look for that, but shrugs it off. ] Not saying she's got a lot of reasons to be doling 'em out like free candy, especially to me, but that's just the way it is.

[Spike shrugs.]

Maybe so. Gave me one, an' I'm willing to be you never done anything to her as bad as me. You've got a nice little front there, Slayer. Sometimes you've got to be receptive.

[watcherless]

You ever tried to kill Angel?

[action]

[idolstolemylook]

[Spike snorts.]

Which time?

[action]

[watcherless]

Ever actually gotten close? [ She raises an eyebrow. Because, truth be told, enough people have tried to off Angel in his lifetime that it's not really an exclusive club. ] Pretty much covers how peachy keen she is to have me around.

[Spike's not going to get into a war of who hurt Buffy more--it's not something he's proud of (anymore). He glances away for a moment.]

All that's under the bridge, between her an' me. Maybe be the same for you. Things are different, now.

[action]

[watcherless]

Not too different if she's still got her ensouled vamp sidekick.

[action]

[idolstolemylook]

[Spike's eyes narrow.]

This has got nothing to do with Angel. Completely different story.

[action]

[watcherless]

Hey, I'm just saying. Girl's got a pattern.

[action]

[idolstolemylook]

[Spike looked ahead for a long moment as they walk.]

Got a bit of a different history, me an' her. Backwards, guess you'd say.
