The same as Spike seems pretty fuckin' hilarious, since I saw him, big fuckin' bad that he is, letting two five-year-olds paint his nails purple the other day. I don't really have time to laugh, though, because I can't really get past the bite on his neck, and the way he doesn't seem all that concerned.

Because he's not. That's what makes him a good hunter. That's what makes him a fuckin' idiot.

"You wanna tell me what happened?" I ask, 'cause he's been being careful, lately. Or at least, I thought he was. Anyway, it seems a little off, that he'd let one get the drop on him like that. But sometimes, I forget that he's only human, regardless of growing evidence to the contrary.
