[Voice]: watch your eardrums, mates.

[shuffling can be heard as the tape turns on, a bit of an inhale as Spike seems to recognize the tape is on; and before you ask, yes, sparkles can be heard.]

Oy, Peaches, y'don't even have the common courtesy to pop in and say "'ello" to your favorite offspring?

Some Daddy you are. [the :c is palpable, let alone audible] When I- [tape cuts off abruptly // Spike is still as technologically deficient as always]

[tape clicks back on for a moment, one soft word can be heard before the transmission cuts out for good:] Bollocks.

[snorts again, and nods] Good enough for me, pet.

-Even old sods like me have to hope, yeah?

"I do desire that you would stop calling me by that name, even if it is meant to belie endearment." [She seems more casual now by looking at him occasionally, though as they walk she still seems more fixed on the sights to see, as few as they are.] "I do believe that every man should posses some measure of hope. Or else what are we resigned to?"

"Do you mind if we continue our walk to the deck? It is lovely, in its own right."

Uh- sure, p--Lizzie, then. Up on deck it is. Ladies first.

[She nods and releases him to move in front, leading their way up onto deck. As she arrives in the starless sky, she twirls around with joy.]

"Though I cannot account for this beauty at all, it still does inspire the soul."

[watches her with a light smile, sticking his hands into his pockets]

S'beautiful, luv.

"And yet you do not seem enchanted by this honor at all." [She replies with a small smirk, trying to provoke him to be more open.] "You might be the only man of your time to bear witness to this endless sky and you reject its glory."

I don't.. reject it. Not at all. It's- wondrous and vast, like the end of the world.

"The end of the world?" [Elizabeth asks softly, pausing in her joyous celebrations and moving to Spike. It crosses her mind to lift his face to look at her, but she knows such an action would be gross violation of all propriety, and instead stands there.]

"What is it that has you in such a state misery? I near want to cry on your behalf."

[looks up anyhow, pain writ clearly across his face] Saw it, luv. The end. As beautiful as this, if not more.

"You saw the end of the world?" [It crosses her mind that he might be lying about everything. He could be an inmate, a normal man. He doesn't look like a vampire, after all. It concerns her, yet she tries to ignore it and to give him the benefit of her doubts.]

"People here are from after your time. How then is that possible?"

Well. I stopped it. I was the end've the world, in short.

Saved the world, they say. [makes a noise in disbelief and self-disgust]

"Such grandeur." [It's the only thing she can think to say without outright challenging his honesty.] "You say you are a warden, yes? What is your name?"

[he blinked, thoroughly abashed] Did I forget myself that completely?

Spike. S'the name.

"No parent would give their child such a name." [She states firmly, now beginning to doubt everything he has said.] "Is anything you have said true?"

-What? I. Of course it is. [he refrained from growling, just barely-]

William Pratt, miss, at your service. [he gave a very 18th century bow, even his accent changed to match] Two hundred years is a long time to be this boring, I'm afraid.

"Am I boring as well then, for coming from such a manner?"

[The name and accent helped her toward believing him, though she took a step back in case the vampire bit was true as well, given that she was obviously making him angry. She herself sounded frustrated now.]

No, but I rather think it suits you more than I.

[Elizabeth was frustrated, confused, and simultaneously insulted that he would choose to flatter her at such a time. Or perhaps she was flattered because she actually noticed and it was lessening her anger.]

"If you will excuse me, sir, I should think I best be returning to my room now."

Wait- [takes her arm suddenly, though he hadn't meant to move that quickly] Wait, I. I hate to leave on this note.

The one've you hatin' my guts.

[Elizabeth flinched when he took her arm, though she immediately relaxed a fraction when she stopped and realized he wasn't pulling or pushing her beyond that.]

"You mistake me. I do not hate any part of you." [She assumed the reference to innards was more slang, but opted for a general reply in case she was wrong. Refusing to look at him still, she continued softly.] "Please grant me time to consider what you have declared to be true."

[drops his hand, and swallows a bit] Alright.

[She remained a minute after he had let her go, debating with herself as to whether or not she should stay. Firm in her resolution, however, she departed silently immediately after the awkward pause.]

[watches her go, waiting for her to leave before releasing a tiny breath and sitting suddenly on the deck floor]
