It's come to my attention that Peaches has been gone quite a long time. Usually he can't stay away from a cause for an hour, let alone a week. I'm sad Jack missed port, too.

I'm good for another drink.

Then why's everyone always tellin' me to shut up, huh? [winces a bit, grabbing something without looking at it] Thought I'd do you a favor.

[ She slams her tray down on the nearest surface and turns on him. ] Spike, if you compare me to someone from back home one more time, I'll hit you. Fair warning.......got it?

[just shakes his head, leading the way back to their table]

Well it's annoying, I'm not like them! You want me to keep comparing you to my ex-boyfriend or my ex-uncle or my dead dad?

[ She huffs, sits down, and pokes at her food. ]

[almost-hisses, his voice too low for anyone else to hear]

Wasn't trying to make a comparison. Was just saying, most people find me bloody annoying. Especially the human-shaped ones.

Forget those people, then. I wouldn't hang out with you so damn much if you annoyed me.

[ She kicks at him for added measure, but it's gentle as she's trying to lighten the mood, ala glaring still. ]

[ Lowering her own voice, she mutters, ] Aren't we, like, BFFs by now?

Owww.. [he complains before eyeing her] BFFs? As in- yeah? You and me?

[ She sticks out her tongue. ] No, some other Warden and me, yesyouandme! I mean...we're at least friends. I painted your damn nails. And we swapped secrets.

Right?

[nods, a slight smile on] Right.

Well, then...quit pushing me away or whatever, [ she grumbled, finally attacking her food and eating it. ]

Anything happen to you in Port?

Er... yeah. I so don't wanna talk about it though.

[ She raised a brow. ]

Can I ask why not?

[grumbles] No.

.. Was hit by a love arrow.

[ She winced. ]

If you don't want to tell me who, that's fine. Sorry, though.

[ And she was. Hadn't anyone who'd been affected have a positive outcome, though? ]

Yeah, takin' that to me grave. Well.. third time's the charm, anyway.

Take it you had a better time? [genuine interest in his tone]

[ She dropped her eyes all together and spoke in a soft, defeated tone. ]

Not really. [ Paused, pulled her lips into her mouth. ] It was nice at first, but I more or less got married? and...he was, is, pissed about it and broke all things off.

[voice low, leaning across the table] Did you fancy him?

[ She doesn't withdraw, but her eyes remain curiously focused on the table between them. ] I did. A...a lot.

[ Her voice is tiny and broken. She speaks softly to keep it from cracking and she blinks rapidly so as not to cry again. ]

Oh, luv. Want to take this to somewhere a bit more private? [he laid a hand on her shoulder, commiseration clear in the gesture]

[ Claire shakes her head. ] No, no, I don't want to talk about it, it was stupid and enough people are disappointed, pissed, or both with me already.

[ She looks up from her food at him. ] I don't want you to hate me too.

[he scowled, turning away] Don't hate you, and I wouldn't alright? Friends til the end.

[ Her smile is small, but grateful, and one tear manages to sneak its way along her jawline. ] Thanks, [ she whispers. She looked sideways then nods. ]

Alright then, if you really want to listen to me whine...we can go elsewhere.

[ Claire hasn't had much of an appetite as of late, anyway. ]

[he nodded to her tray, shrugging at his own, untouched] Bringing that?

[ She grabs the bread roll and explains, ] Not really hungry.

[ Claire stands slowly, feeling like everyone who's present and in the know, is staring at her. It's likely paranoia, but that doesn't stop her from thinking it, and then it carries into worry about what they'll think of her leaving, alone, with Spike. Still, she waits for the vampire to lead the way, her hands fidgeting with the roll. ]

[he snags her around the waist, clearly not having the same thoughts as he leads her out of the caf and starts down the hall towards the nearest common room]
