"Hey," Anya looked up with a fairly bright smile to Buffy. She liked this version more than the previous one. Less irrational. "And no Sarah just yet. I'm sure she'll be by later though."
She took some of the offered snack food. Snack food with questionable nutritional content was always a vital part of research. She chewed thoughtfully for a moment before brushing the orange crumbs aside and focusing on the issue at hand, namely beating Ruby. Or revealing her true nature, however you wanted to phrase it.
"Ruby gets her power directly from hell itself. In their world there isn't the multitude of dimensions linked to the mortal world, it's just one hell. Which is very boring if you ask me, but there we go. Witches get their power by selling their souls to demons, it's very dramatic," she rolled her eyes. At least her way the power came directly from herself, no one else.
"I don't think many from their world would," she muttered with a slight scowl. "As much as I think some of Sam's family would love the chance, they won't work with me. Former demon issues and all. They only want my help when it's at the last minute and they can pretend I wasn't even there. Racists."
