>willing to think outside your British Watcher box...[Giles glares & speaks] 'Buffy Summers, patrolling with Xander will be a good idea.'

[I know Buffy Summers well enough to realize how upset that makes her so I shift closer.] Even if it is... We'll handle it.

[Answering on Giles' behalf, I can pretty much tell what Buffy Summers is thinking.] Giles' source, who by the way, also wants to kick>

>Giles' perfectly British butt for pestering him... Said something about Shady Oaks... Buffy Summers

I'll bring my most sharpest stake and cheetos.. [I give Buffy Summers a small smile, joking but I'm her support.]

[Buffy Summers leaves and I turn to Giles with a raised brow and then think better of it. Part of me then wonders if I should call >]

>[@_AnyaJenkins, just in case Buffy Summers and I are once again running off to our doom. I wonder where the days of the Scooby gang >]

>[fizzled out and when we all pulled away from one another. Buffy Summers has to have felt that distance too.]

[I scooped up as much supplies as possible to help Buffy Summers and headed out for patrol. Buffy needed me and I was gonna be there.]

[Getting Willow Rosenberg's message, I respond cheerfully that she should join Buffy Summers and I patrolling instead.]

[Finally getting to the graveyard, I try to find Buffy Summers without breaking my neck or getting it chomped on.]

[As I round a corner in what I can only hope is the same cemetery Buffy Summers is in, I find myself face to face with a snarling one>]

>[I almost let out a long sigh.] Ya know, you vamps need to find a new place to hang out, the cemetary is so dated.. >(Buffy Summers)

>[As expected the vamp doesn't laugh and once again I find myself fondling for the stake Buffy Summers gave me, and not in the >]

>[metaphorical sense. I stumble a step back as I search my pocket.] Not a fan of the laughs are ya? My friend Buffy Summers is...

[Too late I get my stake out and huff a little.] I had him on the rocks. He was gonna run any second..[I say to Buffy Summers, relieved.]

You know it. Vampires? Pfft piece of cake. [I smile at Buffy Summers cheerfully.] Hey, at least I wasn't beat up for once.

[As Buffy Summers talks, I get my stake out from my pocket all easy.] Sometimes it gets stuck in the hole..and don't think about laughing

Buff, I can handle it. How many fights do we gotta go through for you to get that? [I furrow my brow at Buffy Summers.]

No you're not going mad. I'm still alive and kicking... For now since ya know, my number is probably pushing towards up.
