[ He fakes a weary sigh. ] 'Course I didn't want to be staked, but that's the way it goes. Vampire kills people, Slayer stakes vampire, unless vampire kills Slayer first in which case a new Slayer comes along to try her hand at the vampire staking. It's a whole... circle of life thing.
There's honor in a staking. A proper fight. There's no honor in what you lot did, as much as I deserve it.
