Damsel in Distress, My Ass

[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.]

I'm scarred for life.

Really, horribly scarred.

Hardison, Eliot, can I come over and bleach my eye sockets then hang out until my place isn't so scary?

Please?
