Angel: [Pauses, her voice throwing him off for a second.] Uh… yeah, hey. [He runs his hands through his hair, feeling bad that he hadn’t called her before all of this slayer registration stuff had gone down. Now was a better time than never, though.] How are you?
Buffy: [How indeed. If she was being completely honest she’d say she was scared out of her wits. But she wouldn’t.] Oh you know… [Pauses, trying to think of just how to put it. So he wouldn’t worry.] I’m as good as I can be, given my… Well, given the life I live.
Angel: Buffy… [He froze for a second, thinking over his words, but continued.] You know you don’t have to hide things from me, right? [Another quiet pause.] How are you taking the whole… slayer registration thing?
Buffy: [Her eyes widen, of course he would realize something was up. However withdrawn she tried to be, it was always easy for him to read her.] I… It wouldn’t be… [She lets out a deep breath, giving up on trying to defend her actions] I’m taking it. I have a plan.

Just start making the bed with her in it. My mom used to do it to my sister and I all the time.
I would, but there’s the problem. I’m stripping the bed, which means I need to get the sheets off
Maybe I should just let her be? Your mother sounds quite charming in her activities with your sister and yourself, however.
Oh yeah, I don’t have any suggestions for you if that’s the case. This is why I don’t have pets, they’re cute but at least you can reason with little sisters.
Letting her be seems like the only option at this point, as stubborn as you make her out to be.
My mother was as charming as they come I think. Thanks for saying so.
I’ve never had siblings, so I cannot argue the validity of your statement. Nor debate effectively, really. Though I feel like there’s several of my peers who would disagree with you- it sounds as though siblings can be obstinate just for the sake of being so. At least with the pet, you know they’re just doing it because they’re lazy.
Stubborn indeed.
You are very welcome. I assume, based on your choice of tense, that your mother is no longer around? If so, I am sorry for your loss. It is quite tragic, to lose a parent when you’re fond of them.
No need to debate. Just sharing my opinion based upon my experience. Everybody’s got one. I think when animals are in the picture it’s a little hard to say who’s right or not.
Your assumption is right on the mark. Lucky for me and my sister we had people who loved us that were there for us. Not everybody gets that.

Anyone know how to get a cat to move from the sheets? I’d like to remake my bed and Ma’at refuses to cooperate.
I can’t even bribe her to move with catnip. I’m utterly baffled.
…You could just push her off the bed?
She just comes back. And has claws.
I’d really rather not damage the sheets.

Buffy: Tomorrow we’re having a scooby debrief/meeting thing. The gang wouldn’t be complete without you there.

Buffy: At least I can trust that no matter how much they fight it, they’ll pull through in the end.
Buffy: I want to ask you something but I don’t want you to think it’s because I think this is going to go badly.
Spike: A little late for hold-backs, isn’t it?
Buffy: Just thought for some reason that I should preface it with that.
Buffy: If those guys can hold the fort… Can you just look after Dawn? That’s all I ask. You’re the only one who wants to protect her as hard as I do.
Spike: Damn right I will. Always.
Buffy: I figured it could have gone unsaid, but with her I can never be too sure.
Buffy: You know? She’s too important to make assumptions about.
Buffy: Thank you.

Buffy: Have I ever said that I did?
Buffy: I’m scared, like really scared. Different scared than ever before.
Buffy: But it doesn’t mean I won’t do it.

Buffy: I said “or something”…
Buffy: Walkie talkies?
Spike: Those.
Spike: Gotta be a magic equivalent. Way to buzz you and get buzzed, make sure you’re not knocked out and droolin’ somewhere.
Buffy: I’m sure Willow has something up her sleeve. Or she will if I ask her. Once they realize that I am doing this.
Spike: I don’t like it.
Buffy: Have I ever said that I did?
Buffy: I’m scared, like really scared. Different scared than ever before.
