Ambrose pinched the bridge of his nose. Really, why did he have to fall in love with a such a sassy, and infuriating human. He just took a few breaths so he didn't come back with something that he would regret. It was so hard not to say what I really wanted to, to not let the Master side of him out, but he had yet to treat her as a slave and he was not going to start now.
He let her take his head, but he was not being assuaged. "Buffy, even if you are stubborn, and yes I do know that, it would not help. Death is not something you escape. I know it will eventually happen for most people but it does not do well to help it along and that is exactly what you will be doing." he finally pulled his hand away, only to put his hands on her shoulders. "Buffy, I know you want to help and fight, but things are different now, we are different and I can not and will not let you go out to fight some demonic power when I know what the outcome will be."
