You're really not. [ A Slayer, that is. ] Angelus would've snapped your neck soon as look at you.
[ He shifts in his seat, taking a sip of whiskey as if to strengthen himself. There's a mock sigh. ]
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... Angel? He really is one of th' good guys. Great big poof, th' brooding avenger... say what you will about him, but he's stood beside Buffy more times than I care to count. Back when I started huntin' Slayers, he avoided them like any other vampire... but after Buffy, that wasn't really th' case anymore. He's my grandsire and there was still never any doubts about which side he was on.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe things are different in whatever bloody future they've got, but I seriously doubt Buffy's life will ever not have Angel in it in some way and if you want to be with her? You gotta learn to accept that.
