Perhaps he really is a captain, then.

...people can insist whatever they like, Buffy.

[herotypical]

...I saw the airship fall from the beach. I didn't know -- I came across him accidentally, later.

[consultmybooks]

Most of the immediate area saw it fall.

...I'm glad you did. Find him again, I mean. Not, not see it.

[herotypical]

...He knows how to put on a show.

[ she kicks at the sandy ground. ]

[consultmybooks]

He knows how to draw attention to himself, Buffy.

And in a war, that isn't always a bad thing.

[Drawing attention might have saved him, Faith, and Andrew from getting dragged off. Or it might not have. He'll never know.]

[herotypical]

Not always. Just -- just often.

[consultmybooks]

...sometimes.

But sometimes disasters are when you learn the most surprising things about people.

[herotypical]

Doesn't mean I'm gonna welcome them with open arms. The disasters, I mean. Not the people.

[consultmybooks]

I don't recall suggesting that you should. "Surprising" doesn't always equate to "nice".

[Finding out that he was the wrong sort of person to handle Helios' magic was surprising, to say the very least.]

[herotypical]

Substitute 'doesn't always' with 'rarely' and that's about where I am, right now.

[consultmybooks]

Just out of curiosity...are we still discussing Jack?

[herotypical]

N-no. Surprises from Jack? They've been more nice than bad, for the most part. [ the one good day. the dinner in the treehouse. his guard-destroying tenderness. ]

It's all the other ones I'm discussing.

[consultmybooks]

Then are we discussing me?

[herotypical]

We're not discussing anyone in particular.

[ we're discussing you. ]

[consultmybooks]

Especially not me in particular?

...the fact that we both probably couldn't hold up to you knowing about the truly unpleasant surprises is not lost on me, Buffy.

[herotypical]

[ her face remains hard. she is still so half-mired in battle mode and she thought for a moment that she ought to bail -- go find a fight, clear her head. ]

...Thanks for the tea. [ dismissive. ]

[consultmybooks]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Dismissed.

It took him four months to deal. The least he can do is allow her the same, no matter how hard it is.]

...I'll see you when it's over.

[Tempting fate. But if it can be tempted, he thinks it will be easier on both of them.]
