[ how ironic, considering there aren't any vampires like angel in his own world, either. he's unique in all the ways that matter and all the ways that suck. (no pun intended.) ]
That's not to say that I don't... miss it. [ the admission is a throw back to what they were talking about before he brought up his mock-worthy champion status. ] The old days. Before Gypsies, before the soul. Before anything mattered. When it was just instinct and chaos, and doing whatever the hell you wanted. I miss the simplicity of it, though the carnage was nice, too.
[ he would never, ever talk this way in front of his people. maybe spike, but never buffy or cordy or anyone else. they wouldn't understand or see it as something non-threatening. he's a vampire; it's in his nature to like those things. being all soulful doesn't change that. it just makes them controllable and cause you to give a damn where you otherwise wouldn't. ]
