Buffy could have shoved him away, but her first instinct won out, and that was to burst out laughing. This was how he saw fit to try and end this discussion? What had her life turned into? Still, she let herself relax into the hug. She was so tired of it all and how long had it been since anyone had just given her one? Her friends had already been scattered before she got here, where she was pretty much solo. Not that she could really trust them quite the same again. After Sunnydale she just didn't see any of them in quite the same light anymore. When she was with Dawn, she was the grown up. She gave the comfort for all Dawn's needs, not the other way around. "There is no comment I can make that wouldn't make that sound any better." Not a single one. So she wrapped her free arm around him and hugged him in return. "I'm still mad at you."
