[Apologies don't come easy to Buffy. She's entirely too bossy for that so when she finally speaks, her words are a little hesitant and flipped around to divert this whole apology thing]

So...the whole humiliation thing...thanks so much City. Because pulling a Xena warrior princess thing isn't enough I also have to do the Romeo and Juliet thing. Okay so not quite Romeo and Juliet because no one died and hello been, there done, that. Romeo and Juliet totally had it easy. Not that that's the point here...

~~John~~ Pyro, I'm deeply in the throes of apology at the moment. Not that the kissing was---good. I mean it was...nice and the--[her voice pitches up a good deal on the next words]really nice. [A very long, dramatic, PTB please kill me now sigh. She's pinching the bridge of her nose and it comes through in her tone] And now I'm going to stop with the speaking.

Except...Aya...I'm sorry but if you marry my sister before she turns 25 I'll beat you. It's not a you thing. It's an age thing.

Dawn...you're grounded until you're 24. [Not that she thinks that will really work.]

[ He arches an eyebrow at that. ] You know, some people would go for that. The hitting, the violence.

But hey, I get it. It's a fair warning. I was just... sort of giving you one too.

In case, you wanted to have coffee sometime. [ Smooth. ]

Yeah. I've dated those people. [To which she abruptly throws her hand over her mouth, covering it and blushes bright red, eyes going wide. Well, it's the truth. Angel and Spike weren't exactly...okay but you can't tell her Spike didn't--and hey probably...so not going down that path. If she's honest with herself, which she rarely is, and John, she'd admit that there's a part of her that craves that too. Sure she wants the sweet and the fluff and the normal boy part of things but she's also a cake and eat it too kind of person. For a slayer, the filling of the cake is kind of made from violence and hitting. There's an appropriate metaphor there somewhere. Cake probably isn't it.

She recovers from her mortification because hey date on the line and if he's still sticking around...well that was pretty smooth as far as invites go] yes [Ok now less with the muffled as she manages to pull her hand away from her mouth] Yes to coffee. Although there are people who would argue that a caffeinated Buffy is a bad thing. My brain has even less control over my mouth but at least I'd have an excuse.

We could always head to a bar. [ A drink or two might help relax her.

Or not.

Whatever it is, he just wants to get to know her. Cause right now, all he's got on Buffy is that she kills monsters, and uh, likes it rough. ]

I'm good with that too. Could there be dancing? [Here that? It's called an attempt to control giddy. Attempt because Buffy sucks at hiding her emotions. It leaks through in her voice, her smile and her eyes. ]

If you do the dancing thing.

[She feels the same way. She's got all these confused, mixed up, intriguing emotions left over from the curse and she doesn't know anything about him outside of the fact that he can control fire and he doesn't scare easy.]

Let's start with that coffee. [ He smirks. Who would have thought he'd actually be thankful he'd been cursed? Or fuck. Maybe they're both still cursed... ]

This weekend okay? Saturday? I can meet you at that cafe Neil works at. [ Oh. He's evil. ]

[It doesn't occur to her that Neil may still have a crush. That was a curse, right? And clearly madly in love feelings are greater than crush feelings and that's why something is sticking around between her and John but shouldn't with Neil. At least that would be her train of thought if she were to work it out. Instead, the cafe is some place she stops in regularly enough so it works. He'll have to flaunt his evil in other ways. Maybe there's a laugh or he could just wear leather pants.]

That sounds great. [God she hopes they're not still cursed. Not that it wasn't a good curse but more like she'd really rather not be cursed if she's going on a date. She planned a wedding to Spike cursed once. So awkward when it finally wore off.]
