Buffy is about to knock again when Dawn finally answers. She opens the door, cardboard coffee tray and paper bag in hand. She's still not sure what she's going to say to Dawn. She's not sure what she's supposed to say to Dawn. This is more of a mom thing and despite being a stand in for the past four years, she's still not very good at it. She sets Dawn's coffee on the dresser and fishes a napkin and apple danish out to set next to the coffee.
"It's got extra whipped cream, just like you like it."
She takes her own coffee and danish over to sit down on the bed with her back against the headboard.
"So...is there something you'd like to talk to me about?"
That's the best way to approach it, right? Like Dawn has options, even though she really doesn't. This is one of those 'you are going to talk about it, I'm just phrasing it like a request' kind of things. So sorry, Dawn.
