The Perk, Sunday Afternoon

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn bought herself a mocha, then sat down at one of the tables to wait for Buffy. Even with the tape barrier (and tape barrier violation this morning), she was going to be very sorry to see her sister leave.

Buffy didn't take long to get there, smiling as she took a seat across from her sister. Smiling because she was seeing Dawn, not because she would be leaving today. She was ignoring that part at the moment. "Morning," she greeted her, and checked the clock. "Or... later."

"I would have called you earlier, but there was a thing where one of Sam's dad's friends stopped by and I had to be polite and mortified stuff." Dawn sipped at her drink. "You want something? Their coffee's pretty good. Not Espresso Pump, but good."

[buffywaschosen]

"I'll grab something later," she said, not mentioning the very long trip she had ahead of her. "I did meet Sam's dad yesterday, by the way."

"Oh yeah?" Calm, cool. Yep, that was totally Dawn, except where it wasn't. She tensed a little. "How'd it go?"

[buffywaschosen]

"He told me all about how you're rude and disruptive in class and never do your homework," she said seriously, just to see Dawn's reaction.

"What?" Dawn tried to defend herself, "I'm totally not! Okay, there was a fire the first time, but that was Bel being all demony and using a fireball against a ghost, not me!"

[buffywaschosen]

Buffy's eyes widened a little. "Wait, there was a fire?" Probably a giveaway that this hadn't actually been discussed, but Buffy felt fire was an important detail.

Oops. "It was a simulation. And Bel used a fireball against a ghost, and it went through the ghost, because hello, ghost," she rolled her eyes, "but it did hit the house behind then ghost, and then we were running out. But no burns," she added quickly.

[buffywaschosen]

Buffy's eyes were very wide. "Um. He forgot to mention that part."

Gary walked into the Perk with Alanna and looked around. "I thought there was supposed to be food here? Trying to starve me, Squire?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"It is food." Alanna cheerfully informed him. "What's wrong with coffee and muffins?"

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

"It's food you have when you're ill," Gary replied. "Or when there's a meeting and no one wants to get sandwiches. Not food for when you're hungry."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"At least it's not my cooking?"

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

"So very true," Gary replied with a laugh. "Wait, you're a girl. Aren't you supposed to be able to cook?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

That? Was Alanna's fist firmly connecting with Gary's shoulder. "And by that logic I'm also not supposed to be an excellent fencer or know about two dozen ways to cause you a lot of pain." She informed him.

[lightningsword.livejournal.com]

"Not that I didn't teach you a few of those ways myself," Gary replied, rubbing his shoulder. "Lease you don't hit like a girl," he said with a grin.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"If you use that phrase again, I'll sshow just how true that is." She told him sweetly.

After leaving the clinic, Peter decided that it was actually time for coffee. Not tea. Coffee. He headed into the Perk to order a cup.

[buffywaschosen]

This would be when Buffy got up to order her coffee for the road. She asked for a large raspberry mocha to go, and waited, giving the boy a "Yeah, so you're here too" kind of smile.

"Afternoon, Buffy," Peter said with a smile. "How's cheerleading going?"

[buffywaschosen]

"Oh, sorry," she said casually. "You want the Buffy with boobs. I'm just visiting."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You're the one that knows Willow then?" Peter said, possibly flushing the slightest bit at the boobs comment. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Peter Pevensie."

[buffywaschosen]

"Ooh," she said, eyes going wide. "You're the boyfriend?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter very much didn't trust Buffy's look. "As far as I know," Peter said. "At your service."

[buffywaschosen]

She really wished Willow was around so she could be all sneaky with the turning away and the whispering of He IS cute! like he wouldn't hear, but she just thought it instead. "Have you been appropriately warned that if you hurt her there will be torture involving at least one of several different very ouch-inducing implements?" she asked.
