Pike smirked at her comment about the living dead. "Killed my fair share of dead things. I get it." Of course, Buffy had died a couple times, apparently. So he'd had to revise his 'what's dead should stay dead' policy a little, since getting here. It was still very anti-zombie, anti-vamp, and anti-everything-else. There were way too many things out there that were supposed to be dead and weren't.
"Kinda." He shrugged. "More like a reporter. They see something happen, maybe in a dream or something, and write about it. Might not even know the shit they're writing is real." Which raised all sorts of questions about his own entertainment choices. He really hoped Hellraiser wasn't real. Cenobites would be less fun in person.
When she thanked him, he just sort of waved it off, a simple 'don't worry about it' gesture. "Yeah, Luke Perry. Casting directors are fucking brilliant, aren't they." The derisive snort that accompanied that was just emphasis for the sarcastic statement.
