"I do not deny that I wanted a fight with Ambrose. We both wanted one and frankly it was inevitable that we would end up in one. I thought it best to get it out of the way sooner rather than later" Lucius shrugged. He sighed as Buffy tried and failed to protest her need for protection, how could she deny that she needed to be kept safe?
"The whole purpose of a Watcher is to protect you, aside from lecturing you on Demon mating rituals of course. You need protection, Buffy. Without it you can't do what you insist on calling your job" Lucius continued with determination and sincerity although he did roll his eyes as she went on to use words such as 'fangier' and 'fuzzier'.
"I have the same memories and so I still know you, not all of my opinions have changed either. I still know you Buffy. Enough to know that you've done the most reckless thing you can think of and got caught up in doing it and now that it's been done you have doubts" Lucius paused for a moment and then groaned "You made him drink from you didn't you? You could've gotten yourself killed!"
