Normally it's annoying as hell giving all the new people the tedious "Welcome to the Barge, try not to break anything" speech, but I didn't mind as much this time around. [He's still enjoying having Buffy around. Oh, and Andrew's here too. Which is... better than some people who could have shown up.]

Hello, new people I haven't already spoken to, I'm Spike. Vampire warden, got a soul, won't bite unless you really annoy me... I lied, it's still boring.

[Elphaba]

So, did you do your homework this week, love?

Also, there's someone I'd like you to meet.

[/Elphaba]

[Buffy]

Want to meet my inmate?

[Spike nods, giving Buffy a small smile, then steps in.]

Elphaba, this is Buffy. She's the one who helped me become good.

[Buffy walked in and kept that polite firm little smile on her lips, her eyes bulging ever so slightly at Elphaba's cabin. Yep. Exactly how she would have pictured it. Exactly. Except..

Flying monkey. A flying monkey. A real life flying monkey. Buffy made a noise in her throat and stared at it, unable to fully pay attention to what was being said.]

Hi, Elphaba, and yeah, uhhuh, Spike's.. good... [She looked at Elphaba] Is it.. friendly? [Part of her Slayer instinct said slay and/or defend, but mostly she was just hoping it was nice.]

More so than I am.

[It wasn't saying much, but Chistery was generally friendly. He really only captured Dorothy and nearly drowned her dog because Elphaba had ordered it.]

Yeah, but we're working on that.

[He glances over at Buffy. Is that a slaying look?]

The monkey's all right. I wouldn't have let her have him if he were dangerous.

Oh. Good. That's good.

[She gives Chistery a little wave and a smile, still not sure if she wants to pet it or not. Buffy then focuses her attention back on the people in the room. She gives Elphaba a polite look-over, but has trouble not staring at her.]

You're, uh, much prettier than in the movie I saw. With you. Or the person acting as you.

[Oh god, was that the right thing to say? It was completely sincere, but.. She was trying so hard to take this seriously.]

"What's a movie?"

[Previously, aside from the books, people had mentioned a musical, a children's show, concepts Elphaba was familiar with in the form of live performances, but she'd never heard the word 'movie'.]

It's sort of like a very large picture, only it moves and there's sound. And usually a story. They made one based off the book I told you about.

[Buffy smiled a little awkwardly, giving Spike a was that a whoops moment? look. She then focused back on Elphaba, shrugging a little. She had no words at this moment.]

"I see. And of course I'd be prettier in real life. I suspect the movie was probably some sort of propaganda."

Or it was an entertaining romp through a magical land.

[He glances back to Buffy.]

Not what we're here about, anyway. I mostly just wanted to introduce you two. Since she's, you know, important to me.

Yeah. [Buffy smiles a little, still feeling rather awkward.] Much prettier.

[She gives Spike a glance too. One of silent comradeship.]

Anyway, it's nice to meet you Elphaba.

"Well, I'm glad to see my prettiness is so distracting to you, I can't say that that's happened terribly often."
