46th Slay [Action]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is sitting out on the patio of the coffee shop. Instead of her usual mocha, she's got a pot of tea sitting on the table. She's got some fashion magazines with her and she's flipping through them but really, she's watching the incoming crowd of people. She's definitely looking for people from Sunnydale but she'll welcome any distractions in

So uh, this is kinda familiar. Hi again?

[whattingawhat]

[Andrew gets a grin more because he's from home than because he's Andrew.]

Hey, Andrew. Again. When are you from? [That's important.]

[watcherwells]

[He'll go ahead and interpret that as an Andrew-I-am-so-happy-to-see-you-personally smile anyway.]

Uh, about a month after when I was here before, I guess.

[whattingawhat]

[Of course he will. She wouldn't expect anything else.]

So everybody's still okay-ish which is relative in our world. The okay not the ish. I think ish is always relative. It's the definiton of it.

[byronicamars]

[ Don't worry about the girl hanging out at the diner across the street snapping pictures of you... ]

[whattingawhat]

[Except that Buffy does and she abandons her tea, swings around the block and comes up behind Veronica.]

So City Society Page or private investigator and also why?

[byronicamars]

[ Okay, Veronica is not used to the whole jumping from surprise thing. But that it's Buffy just makes the jumping all the more awesome. And he awkward smile and laugh all the more awkward and smiley. ]

Ooh, wow. Caught so red-handed. Newspaper fashion section? Love the boots, very seasonal.

[whattingawhat]

[She is doubting you, Veronica. She arches an eyebrow at her, glances down at her boots and then shrugs.]

I'm a boot girl. Please don't say they're going out of style and since when do fashion photographers skulk? I read OK. I'm pretty sure fashion stalking from a distance is frowned upon. It doesn't give me a chance to pose.

[ Giles is enjoying the sights, and attempting to take it all in. The architecture, the people, the gardens... After all, he has no idea how much time he has left.

Of course, having realized that he'd somehow managed to stumble through the barriers between his world and this one by simply walking through the double doors belonging to the school library, he found himself quite simply amazed. ]

So much love right now

[whattingawhat]

[She almost misses him. She really does but she catches sight of the tweed and really there's not that much tweed in the City. At least not that she's noticed and there's the glasses and it's Giles. Attack of the Slayer, incoming. She's just going to hug him. Talking is for later and possibly for when Giles isn't having the breath squeezed out of him.]

:3

[terriblyenglish]

Oomph! [ He hadn't been expecting that. ] Buffy! [ He manages a slight chuckle just then and relaxes his stance as he returns the hug, glad to see her. ]

...

Buffy.

D-do let go of me. Can't... Can't. Breathe.

[ Aaaand ---- whenever she releases her hold on him, he'll correct the position of his spectacles and take a good look at her. ]

Re: :3

[whattingawhat]

[Oh right. Breathing is good. She gives him a bit of a sheepish look.]

Sorry. [She's having a hard time not hugging him again though.] Oh tea, I have tea because I had hoped you'd--[And she's trying not to tear up, bottom lip quivering.] I miss you.

[harthfray]

[A vampire with glowing eyes is watching you from the shadows, Buffy. He isn't sure why he's here, but he's certain he hates it.]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy doesn't really notice it until she gets up to head back to the warehouse and then...glowing eyes are different.]

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to skulk in shadows. Stalking does not equal love.

[harthfray]

Depends on where you're standing. I stalked the girl I loved all my... [Well, not life.] ...death.

[He steps a little closer so that she can get a good look.]

Hello, Slayer.

[whattingawhat]

Ooooh I bet you read the 'How to be a Vampire' handbook to find both of those moves.

[She's got her arms crossed over her chest and her weight is back on one foot but she's kind of subtly looking for a stake.]

[solo_insanity]

[Tyki pulls out a chair next to her with a cup of coffee. He eyes that her full attention isn't on the magazine in front of her.]

Waiting for someone in particular?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy looks up at him and smiles after a moment before shrugging a bit.] Sort of...not really. I mean, sometimes people from home show up. I'm Buffy.

Re: [Action]

[solo_insanity]

Tyki.

And they just pop up out of the blue. My, my, that must be something to see.

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat]

It's a little discombobulating. [Lots of nodding.] Are you one of the visitors?
