And he'd gotten there already. Figured out why they'd brought her back, or at least some of why. She'd agreed to do what the partners wanted, of course she had, it would have been stupid not to take the offer. But now, with Lindsey here, and all the things Buffy had said had thrown her for a loop, the blonde Slayer telling her there was a possibility of getting free again. It was stupid. It was pointless. They made her, created her. And it had taken Lindsey to pull her away before.
"You could probably..."
There was nothing she could say, coming back he'd have to cast his friends away wouldn't he, she had liked it better when it had been just her. When it had been them against the world, and now everything was different. He was caged now though, why didn't he see that.
"Prettier cage?" she said with a shrug "All those extra benifits, yeah you're theirs but...weren't you happier here, you were a player, you made things happen. Don't you miss that, even a little, besides you don't know what they might say, what offer they might make you."
She shook her head as he went on, trying to get the information out of her.
