((Ugh, so sorry, been sick and could barely do anything coherent lately.))
“Well, I hope it works out.” Buffy said with a shrug. “I mean, I didn’t exactly get to finish college yet, but his is something I know a little bit more about than guidance counselor at least. Plus the idea of it makes me feel a little closer to mom. So, fingers crossed and everything.” It also felt... normal. It also sounded a hell of a lot less stressful then trying to give advice to teenagers when she was just winging it herself.
She looked over at him with a curious expression. Personally, she liked the idea of him downsizing. Maybe because it was familiar, but it was more likely because she wanted him to avoid falling into any pitfalls from any more uber evil law firm type of powers. As much as she hated to admit it, Giles had at least made a compelling case for the whole power corrupts thing, even if she believed Angel could handle it. “Well I think it sounds like a good idea and if you need any extra hands, I’ve got two right here.” She even held up her hands and gave him a little wave before sliding them into her pockets.
“They could have been.” Buffy wasn’t really sure how the place worked, but she was hoping it worked in a positive way. It wasn’t that bad yet. “They could already be here, or been here, who knows? That’s probably the one thing I don’t like so far... the not knowing.” It was annoying when you didn’t have all the information. Sure, she liked to improvise, but she wanted to know how this place worked, despite the fact she liked it so far. She sometimes felt unequipped to adapt to it, but she was trying.
She quirked her head to the side, “I was wondering. Faith and Willow told me about that whole Beast thing and you getting your soul back,” she pulled a hand out and attempted to give him a light shove, “Soulless, again? Seriously? STOP IT. There is no good there. I swear I’m going to find spiritual superglue for you one of these days.” Yes, she was making light of it, but what else could she do right now? It was done and over already. Buffy shook her head, “But I don’t have any really good info about why you went all CEO on me. Unless you count some extremely biased theories or weird rumors. I’m pretty sure you didn’t inherit it from some long lost relative that finally died.” Weirdly, that had been one of the tamer ideas some of the girls liked to gossip about. “There’s even a betting pool with some of the girls about what happened.”
