The streets of town- Saturday evening

Once it got dark, Buffy set off into town, walking around, seeing if there was anything new, or if anything moved in that had to be killed. Okay, so she'd had a lot to complain about with the not being able to kill things here, but she kind of liked the no-pressure patrol.

And yes, she knew it was messed up to leave Sunnydale for a weekend and go on patrol without Giles telling her to. She wasn't going to say it aloud, but she knew it.

[Oooopen. I've kinda missed these posts.]

Adrian was outside the hotel with a cigarette, deciding to finish it before figuring out what to do tonight though he was distracted watching the girl. This was not a surprise.

"Headed anywhere in particular?" he asked.

Buffy stopped walking, and turned to look to see if anyone was behind her. It was always embarrassing answering questions not directed at you. There were red faces and trauma. "Me? No, I'm just wandering. Getting the lay of the land, if you will."

Adrian took a drag off his cigarette and told her, "That sounds incredibly boring."

"Hey, do I insult your hobbies?" she asked.

Then she actually looked at him.

"Are you evil?"

That was unexpected. "Why would I be evil?"

"You're lurking and smoking," said Buffy with a tone of duh. "It's a thing. The only thing more cliche would be if you were going off to suck the blood of the living."

He raised his eyebrows, both really alarmed and really amused that she would just jump to that conclusion. "I'm smoking outdoors so no one gets offended and that makes me a vampire?" He was smoking outdoors because he was too lazy to go anywhere else.

"You're lurking and smoking. I know these things," she said. And since he still hadn't answered her question, she asked, "So are you?"

He probably wouldn't have said anything if she didn't jump to the conclusion so easily. He wanted to know why. "Maybe. Though I'm not going to suck the blood from the living. I haven't done that in weeks."

"And you're not evil?" she checked again.

Buffy sighed. "Why the hell can you people never be evil?"

He liked when conversations didn't go the way he expected. "I'm very sorry but that gets frowned upon. It'd be an empty promise, but I could tell you I'll try harder to be evil if it makes you feel better."

"It's just, god, if you're going to show up, at least be all 'grr argh' about it," Buffy complained. "I never get to kill anything in this town."

That was a scary statement. He wouldn't be hitting on this one. "I'd rather you didn't want to kill me, personally."

"I don't want to kill you personally. It's just, I'd like to be able to do my job, but everyone keeps being all souled and good, and that's just not right!"

Adrian had decided he was dealing with a crazy person and he was wary of staying around crazy people that weren't him. He stubbed out his cigarette on the ground and said, "I wish you the best of luck in that but I'm not planning on being around for it. Have a good night."

At least she'd scared the big bad smoking lurky vampire off? "You don't have to leave," she said, though she thought it was maybe too late. You couldn't really save the conversation when your argument was at heart I just wanna kill your kiiiiiind, so all right, she'd be the crazy girl again.

~~He would have been hot if he'd been evil.~~
