"What are the chances Dru will ask him to jump off a cliff in the middle of the day?" Slim, she knows. But hey! Positive thinking doesn't hurt, right? For now Buffy's hoping Spike and Dru get as far away as they can.
"Distraction!" God, that's such a better word choice than liability. For some reason Buffy's brain honed in on the word and wouldn't let it go. Still. There are times where she's glad, more than actually, to have them around. Times that are not like right now. "For your information, Giles said I could use it." She counters, then lowers her voice, muttering, "Just not around his books. Or him. Or anyone with a pulse and one person without a pulse." All because she accidentally let it go off in the library and put a hole through several of Giles's books. And one window. "It's not my fault the trigger on that thing is faulty. Plus! I said I was sorry. What more does he want from me." Buffy grumbles. Also? Not a question.
"Oh, about never? I built your suavity up in my head and there's no going back now." He'll just have to live with constantly trying to be as smooth as she believes him to be. "You know, if me coming back early was too much of a surprise for you, I should probably hold off on the other surprise I was planning on showing you." She teases right back, and not at all innocently. She knows exactly how to lure him in.
