After Anyanka's unfortunate, but promising, outburst in the store, I decided that it was probably best for me to give her some space. Not that I considered myself included in her ordering everyone out of the store, but I think she's on her way to a very vengeance-y place right now, and I think it's better if she finds that place on her own

I'm across the street reflecting on the outbursts from the Magic Box, and finding I'm not caring too damn much. While I wasn't about going places and causing holy hell, I did get what I needed, which was a massive step.

Now I could complete my research on the big bad that these self-involved "heroes" had not even yet noticed was lurking about.

...and I was just about to go hole myself away some where and do just that when I saw the woman from the cemetery emerge onto the street.

She fascinated me last night, she fascinated me today, and she fascinates me now.

I could put off research for a bit longer.

I cross the street and jump directly in her path.

"We meet again!"

Oh my! I'm momentarily startled, but then a small laugh escapes my lips. Wait a minute, since when is it funny for a human to jump out of nowhere into my path? I try to work up a small amount of annoyance, but it just isn't working.

"Well, well. So we do?"

There is a short pause. He has the Codex. Normally, I would not be even remotely interested in what some human was planning to do with a moldy old text. Despite that, I find myself incredible curious. After all, he has proven to be very entertaining thus far. I'm sure that with the help of the Codex, he could be even more entertaining.

"So you got your Codex? What exactly are you planning on doing with that, if you don't mind my asking?"

Normally I would be amiss to share my intentions, especially to the scoobies, but since she was neither an ally of Buffy, nor really a concerned party on the side of good and evil, I figured what did it hurt if I revealed a teensy bit of what I was up to

Hmmm, a shift in primal forces. I have been feeling something similar myself. Which is why I've been so keen to avoid taking sides. Shifts like this almost always precede some sort of epic battle, which no doubt will lead to the end of this dimension. Of course it never actually comes to that, but it's always unpleasant to be involved regardless of the outcome.

"So, and excuse me if I'm interfering, what do you plan on doing about it? I mean, you are significantly more...capable than most of these human idiots, but primal forces are not to be trifled with. So if you figure out exactly what is going on, what good will that do you? Believe me when I say that messing with primal powers can only lead to the kind of death that even immortals fear."

I have to admit, despite my melodramatic warning, the prospect of doing something daring, and something with a little more focus than random vengeance spells is appealing.
