^{well that was unexpected. and she took just a moment to gape in surprise as he barely flinched when the blade found its mark and stuck solidly out from his chest. she’d killed countless vampires and demons with the thing before, and she was about to open her mouth to ask exactly what manner of creature he was when the casual comment came falling from his lips instead.}

          ^{❛   why ? did she stab you in the heart ?   ❜     there was a wry quality to her tone as the question formed, clearly not amused by the comparison ——not that she had any idea who his ex was, or who he was, for that matter. buffy’s arms folded over her chest as he continued to speak, and her head tilted to the side as she took a better look at him —still unsure of what she was dealing with.}

           ^{❛   great. good for you. wanna tell me what it is you are, then ? or should we go through your entire work history ?   ❜   she didn’t even know if he meant to kill her, or not, but whatever his deal, buffy wanted to find out and get it over with.}

           _{❛ actually, she sent me back home a few times. last time was the real deal breaker between us. ❜ rather, it was more that ky didn’t care anymore, and relationships were so… taxing. he would have rather had no restrictions on what he could or couldn’t do. a reason to why he enjoyed that simple freedom of not being shackled to someone.}  

            _{❛ then again… ❜  he trailed off for several moments as he flipped the dagger in his hands, ❛ i don’t think species really matters. ❜ or, rather, he didn’t think it mattered for the moment, ❛ i’m human enough. doesn’t that mean anything? ❜ there was doubt that it would, but still, couldn’t blame the him for trying.}
