I think I'm going to be hopping on the bandwagon of "let's never talk about that breach again."

[And there's about a second where he thinks about saying something to new arrivals, but that's kind of not his thing and he's kinda cranky because of the whole dream plot thing. So that's all, Barge.]

[Private Separately to Tim, Dean and Buffy]

We should talk.

[Private to Leslie Knope]

So, the breach kind of got in the way, but if you're up for that self defense brush up, I'm available whenever's good for you.

[Private to Superboy]

Have you talked to Wonder Girl yet?

[Buffy quietly moves to the couch, taking a seat next to him. She sits in a very small and contained way. Back straight, knees together, hands in her lap.]

No, I'm fine. [A fleeting smile.

Then she's gotta start with something, because this is getting kind of painful.]

Now that I've totally made everything way worse than it needed to be.. [She starts with a dry laugh in her voice.] I, uh. Just wanted to let you know I have no ..Weird feelings about what happened. I'm just feeling the normal post-flood embarrassment. For how I acted.

That was still me, it was just.. Super-live-in-the-moment Buffy.

[Yeah she's looking down at her lap now, her fingers fiddling around clasped hands.] The Buffy that doesn't think about consequences.

[Dick makes sure there was plenty of room between the two of them and listens, frowning a little as she explains.]

There doesn't need to be any consequences, or anything. I just feel like an asshole for not realizing something was up.

And I mean, I guess it's awkward, but if you're really okay with it, then... [He shrugs.] I don't know. I don't want you to beat yourself up about it.

[She nods slowly, still not looking.]

I'm not. [Buffy looks at him, sure and confident.] I'm fine, really. Like I said, not regretting it. Just, hoping I didn't mess anything up too bad.

[Aaand she looks back down again, letting a smirk creep on her lips, blushing a little. Buffy shrugs lightly.] It's not like I never wanted to.. Before. Just that I'm big on commitment and security and the whole calling the next morning thing.

Flood-Buffy really didn't care about any of that. She was all about the want-take-have philosophy. And that leads to nowhere good.

[Blushing more now, she manages to clear her throat and glance up, smiling a little awkwardly.]

[Dick maybe looks a little embarrassed when she says she'd wanted to, before, but doesn't say anything until she's actually finished.]

We're fine, I promise. And I meant what I said about it not needing to mean or change anything unless you wanted it to, so. Don't worry about it.
