text @ faith

Buffy: I’m not mad at you.
Buffy: You cracked my phone, kinda cheesed off about that.
Buffy: But generally, not mad.
Faith: For real? And screw the phone, I was worried you wouldn’t– ’cause some people never do. And I couldn’t do that, live with it, I mean.
Faith: Shittiest win I’ve ever had.
Faith: Pissed at someone else, then?
Buffy: Well I did, and I mean, it wasn’t that long anyways. So don’t worry, nothing to live with there.
Buffy: It was going to be shitty no matter who won.
Buffy: Just a certain blonde. Assertive, totally hot, and sort of a badass…

Text @ Buffy

Tara: Hey. I’m sorry about what I said at the meeting. Haven’t heard from you since.
Tara: I was just frustrated. I think you’re a great leader. Hope you can forgive me.
Buffy: It’s fine Tara. Everyone got a little excited I think.
Buffy: I forgive you, people have said so much worse to me before.
Buffy: I’ve been kinda busy since the meeting, so that’s why you didn’t hear from me.
Buffy: Everything’s fine now 🙂

Phone call @ Buffy

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 However withdrawn she tried to be, it was always easy for him to read her.]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.

text @ spike

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.
