[ He weighs Buffyās privacy against Spikeās ability to offer comfort. From their other conversations, it seems to him Spike already knows how conflicted she is about her return. ]
Ah, yes, the one who was overly interested in our hen.
[ gale disapproved, etc. ]
She has concerns that sheās come back, well, wrong, and enlisted myself and August to assess her. She said your chip ought to prevent you from āhurtingā her but it doesnāt. We know thatās the case for me as well. Anyone else?
Iāll not think ill of you, for what itās worth.
Without divulging personal details, do you believe Jinx shares Buffy and Iās unnatural proximity to death? Buffy has resurrected. Iāve been brought to that jagged ledge and halted before the fall by a goddessā magic. Neither would be considered natural by rudimentary technology.
Is there anyone who would allow you to make an attempt, in the name of academic enquiry? Iām afraid most people I know here have also been touched by death.

Jinx, too. Blue hair, braids, short but spicy.
Haven't tried fighting or snacking on anyone else yet.

You want to know who'd let me have a nibble who hasn't died in our weird death-manor yet?
I'll give it a think. Can't say the list is very long.

It is a depressingly difficult criterion. Perhaps Koby? He supports academic inquiry, broadly speaking.
And, yes, Shadowheart is both a literal hen and a vampire. Sent your lot into quite the tizzy.

Thought Shadowheart was some other chick here
Lady-type chick, I mean. Not chicken-chick.
