And I shall as long as he holds his.

I fear we are at an impasse. Neither of us can be very impartial when it comes to this. I have very little control when it comes to my emotions, you have very little control over the stupidity of the men in your life, and neither of us are willing to change.

[ ...that might actually be the truest thing that grell has ever said to buffy summers. and now there's one more man. vampire. angel. and buffy will not hesitate to involve the champion in this debacle should she need the back up. deals? bargains? she'll drop them in a heartbeat if she has to. ]

It shouldn't need saying but...if you touch him again? [ the threat goes unworded. ] I won't lose him again.

[ she figures grell couldn't have missed the announcement of jack's disappearance. ]

And it shouldn't need saying, but if he gives me reason? [Grell clicks her tongue against her teeth again, rolling onto her side and wincing in pain.]

Have you seen me speaking to him, hm? I'm holding to my end quite true.

I don't attack without reason, Buffy Summers. It isn't in my nature.

[herotypical]

...Did you have anything to do with Smoker?

[erythrophilia.livejournal.com]

[She pauses.]

What do you mean? Him taking that boat?

[herotypical]

Him talking about trying to take the boat.

[erythrophilia.livejournal.com]

Oh, Heavens no. Do I really seem the kind of girl to want boats over roses? He did that of his own accord.

[herotypical]

...I'd take a boat over roses, any day.

[ she doesn't like roses, though. ]

[erythrophilia.livejournal.com]

A fundamental difference between us then. Don't think ill of him, dear. He's simply doing as his nature demands.

[herotypical]

[ buffy thinks she might have bought the pirate some time to secure the joanna joyce. she hopes. ]

...No one gets carte blanche just 'cause of their nature, though. God. I don't even expect that.

Really, Buffy. For all your profession to want law and order, you certainly do give that pirate a good amount of leeway. He steals, lies, cheats and mugs people upon the roads.

If you want to speak hypocrisy, do look at that first.

[herotypical]

Don't you dare presume to know what sort of leeway is given or not given. Jack's done more good than bad in this village. The fact that he wants to keep that to himself and carry on his little puffed up pirate reputation? His call to make.

[Grell sighs. Oh, Buffy, if only you knew the things that were happening without your knowledge.] Yes, yes, no one ever wants to see the ugly side of those around them.

I'm not about to argue with you the rights or wrongs of our beaus' actions, dear.

[herotypical]

That's where you have me wrong. I've seen his ugly side. Sides, even. [ and he's seen hers. and they didn't matter. ]

[erythrophilia.livejournal.com]

[Haha, oh, Buffy.]

Yes... Of course. Don't mind me then.

[herotypical]

[ this is certainly one count where grell cannot be correct; she knows this. the pains and horrors the pirate and the slayer have shared. and jack's paled in comparison to angel or spike's past crimes.

in theory, jack is one of the more generally heroic men she's involved herself with.

so she doesn't deign to respond to grell anymore -- not on this subject. freakin' delusional drama queen. she tried to show patience with you. it just ran out. ]

[Rather pleased with herself and with knowing things that Buffy doesn't know - not just about Jack, but about a certain Watcher, puts Grell in a considerably better mood. She starts humming lightly to herself, relaxing back in her cell.]
