Buffy was about to turn down his offer and show herself out when something he said surprised her. "TruBlood? Do I want to know what that is?"
It made her feel better, if only for a fleeting moment, that he might take keeping the peace in his establishment seriously. She wasn't sure. Buffy took the serious expression on his face as a good sign. If nothing else as an understanding.
"I won't stay long. Probably not good for you opening night."
Any vampire that had ever faced Buffy would probably be stunned to hear her concede something like that. Give a vampire space? For vampires and humans to mingle? ...Buffy surprised herself. She just hoped she wasn't going to regret this.
