[The Kissbots don't bother Rebecca at all, so even after she discovers they're back she will be as relaxed as ever in going about her day. It's not a horrible fate to be stuck with someone for a few minute's worth of time, no hassle at all and it's easily solved. So she's not about to go giving people a wide berth in passing or avoiding hitting the streets today, her routine is average. She goes to a few shops, loading up on groceries and other miscellaneous items and working a stretch in the DF HQ.

(Literally, you can find her stretching on her break in a set of gym clothes with yoga mat in tow.)

[Private to Reid - Late Afternoon]

Hey, guess you know what day it is by now, huh?

Just wondered if you wanted a coffee or anything. I can leave it on the doorstep, no prob.

	[ It's all about how you take this guy. Easy, shallow fun? Go right ahead. Dig into his past as a human? Haha, no. He doesn't hold much of a grudge tho — as far as he knows, she hasn't spread the information to anyone else — and the return nod is just about as friendly as hers. ] Out for a walk, are we?

	Yeah. Running errands like a grown up, go figure. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just needed to stretch my legs and get some fresh air. [ Hah. Fresh air. Also why is this awkward? He doesn't do awkward. ] I see you didn't get eaten by th' overgrown geckos? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, still just the scar. [She absently runs her fingertips over it again, under her sleeve.] If you're headed the same way as me, is there any way to get you to carry some stuff for me? Since you're absurdly, inhumanly strong I'm predicting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

wow way to mess up timelines. Hurr!

[ He hesitates for a moment. Things have been weird between them and a part of him really desperately wants to keep going on the aggressive side. Push her so far away she won't think he's anything good... but Marina has softened him. It has. The boredom, the apathy, the frustrating lack of a good scheme or massacre or just a kill.

In the end, he shrugs. Gives in to whatever friendships he can get. ]

Not like I got anything better to do.

	nothing of the sort was seen here! needmymp3 2014-01-27 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	[She seems surprised he agrees so easily.] And I was gonna offer you a favor in return. Well, thank you. [She snorts, waving her hand.] C'mon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He holds out a hand, impatiently waving. C'mon then. Give him the thing. ] A favor huh? I really did draw the short end of the stick, not bargaining for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-01-27 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Is that sarcasm? [She snorts. Then she'll hand over a few bags, nothing exceptionally heavy.] I wanna grab a few cases of soda and water, if you'll be my mule for that. Or do we have to renegotiate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-01-27 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ He takes them with ease, not caring much about how this could look. Not now. Not today. ] Actually... yeah. I'll be your pack mule, you'll owe me a favor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine, but I'm not helping you catch any dinner or anything like that. [No harming other people kthx.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-01-28 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	[ Pfft. ] Like I'd need your help for that. Although... the other lit'le cyber witch did offer me dinner once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-01-28 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	... She did? [Garcia, why?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-01-28 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	Mmmhm. [ A glance. So she didn't know. ] Slit her wrist for me and everything... didn't even need to say please and thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Just a second ago Rebecca might've offered to be a drinking fountain, but that phrasing? It sets her teeth together and the look she gives him is rather cold.] What line did you feed her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ It's a strange sort of thing, this. On one hand he's eager to prove that he's every bit the monster she believes him to be, but on the other... it has to be over something he actually did. It's an empty sort of satisfaction, bragging about something you really only showed up for. ]

Believe it or not, but it wasn't my idea. Stupid lit'le girl did that all on her own. [ A beat. ] She didn't even need to. It's not like I was starvin' to death.

[ Honestly, it weirds him out. ]

	Not really my kind of gig, pet. [ But he did. Sort of. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-01-29 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	Still, she went out of her way. [Said with a silent 'for whatever reason' trailing after it. Rebecca sighs.] She was fine after the fact though? [Maybe she's a little less cool with Spike now as she considers the fact that it must take some sort of restraint not to drink a person dry.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-01-30 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	Fit as a fiddle. [ He quirks a brow — could go into the whole shoddy affair with him not even being able to engage the fangs at the time, but chooses not to. ] I am capable of restraining myself, you know. Just because I usually don't leave my dinner alive, that doesn't mean I can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-01-30 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Noted... [Softer, she should probably get used to how you act at some point. She adjusts her grip on her bag and starts to walk again.] Is it hard not to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-01-30 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	Not to... kill someone? [ He shrugs. ] Can be. Depends, really... how hungry you are. Who you're eating. Most of all if you can afford leaving anyone behind to squeal about vampires. [ And the kill itself is satisfying, so much but he can also sense that saying that right now isn't in his best interests. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-01-31 04:38 am UTC (link)
	[Good job, you are learning well Spike.] Does that change here? I mean, people know you're a vampire - it must be weird, compared to b- [Ow. Rebecca fullstops walking, stumbling back a step from the invisible barrier. She looks down at the paper bag in her arms, hoping she didn't just boobcrush anything.] ... back home.

[ He's about to unleash a long thing about how that's even easier here because no one thinks he's capable of killing. Because every other vampire is a besouled goody-two-shoes. Because even the people that know seem to cut him so much slack they shouldn't even be allowed to live, being that stupid.

Fortunately for him, the kissing bot cuts him off. ]

Sonnova... forgot those were swarming.

	[She rubs her nose with the back of her hand, turning back around to face him. Might as well set her bags down, so she does, by her feet.] Don't worry, it'll be over in a heart beat. Wait, you don't have one of those, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He smirks, following her example and setting down whatever she had him carrying. There's a slow shake of his head. ] Never kissed a corpse before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
