So glad that you are enjoying! Dru is trying v. v. hard to play things straight, but her mind just can't help but curve when it's not actually twisting. Spike and Buffy have a lot of built-in expectations, which will hopefully be adjusted when they actually talk to one another. Though I probably shouldn't bet on it...

Giles is indeed a bit behind times. All part of his charm, I expect.

Thanks so much for your speedy commentary, sweetie!
