Re: Seating: Buffy
Buffy wasn't offended by the gesture in the slightest. She was having fun, real fun. Not pretend fun. It felt weird but also therapeutic. She hadn't expected any breaks from the terrible that was living life as a someone's slave, but here she was. She tried not to feel guilty about it, but it was hard with memories of Allison and Kenzi with Eterna still fresh in her mind.
When the dip came, Buffy almost made an indelicate squeak of surprise but was saved from humiliation of producing that noise when he spoke. She nodded slightly, her gaze sympathetic.
"Yeah, me too," she admitted simply and quietly. "I wish I could tell you it gets easier, but I'm not sure if it does or not."
