[ He's sure of it now. Not that it matters — not that he cares — but the Dome does seem particularly Scoobie free. Buffy's gone and she took the lit'le bit and that mangy mutt with her. Sam's been missing even longer and with that he's plum out of moral influence. It's a relief in a way. It allows him to not think so hard about that sad flicker of a soul he's got somewhere out there in the world. It's freedom but just as much abandonment. Angel's come and gone and now the last sliver of familiarity disappeared. The last man standing from Sunnydale and he has to wonder... did they find a way home?

Did he get left behind?

It's not something to dwell on in any case. Not when there's hunting to be done and without a Slayer in the dome, who's to stop him? Eric, the great big hypocrite? The Wardens? He'd love to see them try. But first... a few stiff drinks at the Rusty Spoon, formerly known as Merlotte's. For old times sake. ]

((ooc: Available at the bar or skulking around outside somewhere, if you want a meeting that doesn't involve ridiculous amounts of alcohol! ))

	Best thing I've heard all night... shall we? [ Well, that could be a problem. He kind of likes getting blood on his hands. A lot. Whta good is a pesky soul, anyway? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The sooner, the better.

[They'll have to talk about it eventually but not right now when they were out in public like this. She remembered not so long ago when he asked her to join him on a hunt and she was tempted, mostly to see what it would be like to do that again.

Brushing that thought aside, Rose leads them in the direction of the bar, sliding her hand into his.]

	[ He takes her hand in his with ease, letting a little bit of silence stretch between them as they make their way to the bar. Of course, with the giddy mood he's in he can't keep himself quiet for too long. ] We really should celebrate tonight... how about I take you out for dinner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-04 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ She knows what he means by that and Rose hasn't really eaten since this morning. Leaving it too long between meals wouldn't be a good thing so his suggestion is appealing. ] Well, it's been some time since I've eaten today. So yeah, you can take me out to dinner.

	[ He issues a pleased hum before deciding that yes, it would be a good idea to confirm that they're on the same page. ] You do realize I'm not talking about anything that comes in a bottle, right? [ Little glance. ] How long's it been since you had a proper meal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-04 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	I do know what you meant, Spike. As for the last time I properly fed on someone, it was back home and months ago. [ The blood bags and Tru blood were enough to satisfy her hunger but Rose knew that deep down, the urge to feed on a living person was always there. She just ignored it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-05 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Then it's about bloody time. I'm sure we can find something to satisfy you... [ Wow. Wow wow wow. This is better than he ever imagined. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-05 06:19 am UTC (link)
	I have rules, Spike. No killing and no drinking too much. [ She knows how vicious she can be, aware of her strength. ] Otherwise, I won't do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-06 05:20 am UTC (link)
	[ He issues a little hum, not entirely displeased but... well, this is less fun. The prospect of getting her to join him weighs up the lack of excitement that a kill usually brings with it though. ] Fair enough. It's probably better that way in the long run anyway. [ Sigh. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-07 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	[ Neither of them needed someone after them for killing a fellow prisoner. Perhaps Spike didn't care but Rose had some sort of moral code.] Exactly. I know you'd like it to be different but I don't want any trouble. For either of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Alright, alright... your wish is my command. [ Said theatrically, but with a good ounce of honesty. He always was love's bitch. ] So? What do you fancy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-08 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. [ There's an internal sigh of relief when she hears him say that, glad he was going to accommodate it. ] I have no idea. Whomever we come across first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-09 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	You're sure not picky. [ Not that he's been all that selective either. It helps that there are no tough old geezers around. ] You sure you don't want to order the special? Seeing as it's been such a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-10 06:51 am UTC (link)
	[ She can't afford to be picky. Not when they had to be careful. ] I'll be compelling who we choose to forget what happened so it doesn't matter who it is. Besides, I need to ease myself back into it slowly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-12 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	[ A hum and a nod. He can respect that. ] So what did you prefer, back in the day? You haven't always been on the slim diet, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-13 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	No, I haven't. I didn't have the convenience of blood bags so I had to get blood straight from the source. [Oh, his first question.] Strong and healthy. Adults. Never children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Low whistle. ] Good thing you'll never meet Dru. [ He assumes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-13 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	Somehow, I don't think she'd want to meet me, Spike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-13 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Probably not. You're very different creatures. [ Wildly different. He's not sure why he's talking about Dru now, but there you go. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-14 01:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, we are. [ From what little she knows of Drusilla, Rose has gotten that impression. And if she did come here, would Spike still want to be with her? ] Anyway, we should get going, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He would not. Or rather, she probably wouldn't want to be with him and by now he's accepted that they're over, as tough as that was. If Dru showed up there would definitely be tension and doubt but it's not at all impossible that Rose would win out in the end. Less complications, if anything. ]

Yeah. Pre-dinner drink, some take-out on the way back... and then we celebrate proper. [ Sly grin. ]

	justexisting 2013-11-14 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ Idly, she wonders just how strong Drusilla was but if she was like other vampires in his world, then Rose would probably be stronger. Not that she should be thinking such things of course, but she would fight tooth and nail for him. ] Proper celebration? I like the sound of that. [ Her smile is equally sly as she closes in for a kiss. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Honestly, it would depend on when they decided to pull Dru in. Before the ritual with Angel, she'd be frail as a baby bird and if that's the case Spike wouldn't be able to stay completely away. After though? A lot less so. Still no match for Rose, based off what he's felt around her so far. ]

We've earned it... no better way to end a perfectly good day, if you ask me. [ He sneaks a hand up in her hair as he bridges the gap for the kiss, pressing himself firmly against her. ]

	[ Rose wasn't going to argue with him, not when they were like this and not when she knew what was going to come at the end of the day. Her arms slip around Spike's neck as she pushes into the kiss, her body tight against his. She's going to forget about Drusilla or anything else. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ A wise choice. It's nothing to think about. Not now in any case and whatever lingering thoughts he had on his dear old sire, they're quickly dissipating as Rose presses against him. If they weren't going out for a proper meal he'd suggest that they skip dinner altogether and just head home for a shag-a-thon, but getting her to walk on the dark side even just a little... too tempting. Much too tempting. ]
