"...Oh, heck no." She slid closer. "A kiss will have to do. Deal with it."

[all7seas]

"Buffy." He set the shells down and leaned close. "Said as though I'm settling. You little wonder."

[herotypical]

Her nose touched his.

"I'm sorry, Jack Sparrow."

[all7seas]

"I forgive you, Buffy Summers."

[herotypical]

She curled fingers around his wrist and kissed him.

"It was a pretty damn good shot, though."

[all7seas]

"Amazingly effective. But this? More effective."

[herotypical]

"Maybe, but...I wasn't gonna kiss you to keep you. Not in front of Sokka."

[all7seas]

"Don't want to go back to the no-kissing-you-in-public rule. But -- aye. Him an' me, we were talking about...romantical things, before. And such. Poor lad."

[herotypical]

"How about just a no-kissing-me-around-Sokka rule?"

Poor lad, indeed. "Just for a while. It's too cruel, otherwise. Isn't it?"

[all7seas]

"It is. I...wasn't thinkin' when I hugged you." He pulled back and threw some rejected shells into the water. "Least he'll see her again -- when they send him back. But I know he's feeling it terribly."

[herotypical]

But Buffy worried about what Sokka now saw as lost. She considered her words as she watched the thrown shells sink.

"Of course he is. They had a whole life here..."

[all7seas]

"You know -- his grand-things showed up." Kerplunk -- another shell in the water. "She could come back."

I've come back twice now.

[herotypical]

"She could come back, sure. Younger and memoryless.

Any of us could."

night!

[all7seas]

Jack knew that very well. It was information he often hid from, or at least tried not to dwell on. "Water's beautiful tonight."

night!

[herotypical]

"It might actually be beautiful every night. Say what you will about kidnappings and experiments and...other stuff -- the place is pretty. All around."

Buffy lined her shells up on the dock before reaching out for his hand. "But I guess there might be a certain something extra pretty, tonight."

She paused, unsure whether she should approach this subject after some of the stranger elements of the day. But: "Hey. Did you mean it? About the electricity?"

[all7seas]

"Aye. I meant it. And...and chairs."

Because James had said.....and she deserved it. Them. She deserved proper chairs.

[herotypical]

"It's about time. I don't even want to think about what those crates might have been doing to your posture."

A light enough joke, sure. But below the fun and games, she was surprisingly excited at the prospect of Cullen House becoming a little more...home-like.

[all7seas]

"You just tell me what other things you want, eh? We've already -- there'll be a weapons room. And a large closet. Two. Two closets in our...in mine. My room."

[herotypical]

"Slow down, cowboy. Let's just start with the only real must-haves, okay? Hot showers and somewhere to plug in my hair dryer. Everything else can wait.

Except for, y'know, the actual house part. Kinda need one of those."

Two closets? He was going overboard. Overcompensating. Overplanning. Buffy squeezed his fingers lightly. "Don't make me whip out another back in Luceti's old days lecture."

[all7seas]

"Fine. Electricality. And a house." He kissed her hand. "Meant it, though: you've got to tell me the other things you want."

[herotypical]

"I'm not sure that's exactly the wisest thing for me to do..."

[all7seas]

"What? Whyever not?!"

[herotypical]

"You just jumped straight from the bare necessities of electricity to some kind of double-closeted mansion. My tastes just don't run that lavish."

A thoughtful pause. "Though, I've always wondered what it might be like to have a real walk-in closet..."

[all7seas]

He made a careful mental note to ask someone what a "walk-in closet" was.

"Me too, funnily enough. Always."

[herotypical]

"But for now? Let's just work on getting a roof up."

With that so vaguely settled, Buffy leaned back and tried to draw his dreads aside. She needed to see the damage.
