{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' It's just another day, a nice warm spring day at that: perfect for hiking. And that's just what Buffy needed after a busy week. So here she is, backpack packed with some snacks and water, and a rain jacket just in case the weather changes suddenly. She's been hiking fir a good hour now, and pauses at the top of a cliff, peering around at the beautiful scenery. It's still early morning and a bit cool and misty. The sun is just starting to rise and what a beautiful sight it is. 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' If Buffy cares to look up, and just in the right direction, and up just enough, she'd see what looks like...no way, it couldn't be an angel, could it? Alright. Fallen angel but still....wings fully out, soaring as the sun rises. Zacharias Rafael is indeed up in the sky, enjoying a pre-dawn flight as sun starts to rise. Watching the ground below, he's twisting and turning in the air, watching, chasing the warmth and rising sun. Surely nobody's out here. Surely.... Oh, they are. Great, just great. QUick, pretend he's a bird or something! 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Okaay, Buffy's never actually met a real live angel before, but she's met plenty of demons. Could this be a demon disguised as an angel? She's not taking any chances, and of course Buff packed her weapons, including her trusty crossbow, mounted on her arm. She peers up at the 'Angel', pointing her crossbow at it. She won't fire though, unless it makes a move first but best to be prepared.. 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Make that two crossbows pointed at each other. Zach's got his aimed at Buffy. "Oh, hello" he says with a voice that's curiously not accenteed any. Instead he's just casually wielding the crosssbow one handed. "Would you mind not pointing a crossbow at me?" he asks. He's heard about this whole 'talk your problemsout'. That's the price he gets for PBS being the sole station he gets in his apartment. Okay, okay. Nova is good, but...talk your problems out? Really. When there's some woman aiming a crosssbow at him? Really now... "Hey hey" he says, and throws the dice so to speak. "You shoot me, it'll get Willow upset" he calls. Oh sure he's only run into Willow once but...fine, fine. He'll try this. What's the worst that happens, he loses a bunch of feathers or goes fists first at Mach 1.01 at whatever's getting his anger 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers narrows her eyes, but doesn't lower the crossbow just yet. "Depends. Who, or what are you?" she laughs, "You might look like an angel, but I know better than anyone that evil comes in pretty packages.." Its only when he mentions Willow that she lowers the weapon and blinks, "Wait, you know my friend Willow?" 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' "Indeed I do" Zach says, descending to the ground, his own crossbow lowered then on his back. "I had coffee with her the other day actually at Mercutios. She was reading this book on string theory. I figured she was reading up on knitting but apparently it's to do with fractals and math and things. Yeah I got bought coffee by her" he says, totally not aware how this sounds. "We were sitting there talking, she's interesting and smart really" he adds, adjusting his baseball cap/ "I'm a fallen angel, actually. But. But. I'm not evil. No. I have coffee with women named after trees and I'm slowly learning to give society a try" he adds, raising a hand. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers considers that a moment, then lowers her hand. Fortunately her crossbow is a compact one, strapped to her arm so she can easily access it if he's lying. Dont think for a moment she fully trusts him. Especially when he calls himself a 'Fallen Angel'. "Oh really. Heh." she smirks, shaking her head, "Isn't that just another name for 'Demon?' what, got evicted from heaven for being 'bad'?" okay, now she's just toying with him. Hey you have to be paranoid in this line of work. The Willow angle is the only reason she hasn't attacked yet. "...You and Willow were sipping coffee. Hah!" she can't help but laugh at the irony. A witch and a fallen angel walk into a coffee shop. Instead of, you know, fighting to the death. How very anticlimactic! Ok now she can't stop laughing, dammit. 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zach'll take this as a small win. "Hey. She bought me coffee and said it was her treat, okay? No I got left here and forgotten about. I'm an angel, but you ask any angel. I fell. It's two stories depending on who you ask" he says testily. "What were you hoping for, a punching session over the bischotti and murder over a mocha latte?" he asks snidely. "Oh no no, there was conversation and curiosity. Willow's not that bad really. She's pretty and smart and....and..." he says. Well aware suddeenly of the big hole he's digging himself 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers peers at the 'Angel' warily, "Riiight, why do I find that hard to believe? So what, you were going on a 'date' with my BFF? You'd better watch it, I do t take lightly to people, especially suspicious 'Fallen Angels' dating my friends." because it's not like her boyfriend is an Incubus or anything. Pot calling kettle black much? 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' "Is that what a date's like? I thought from watching TV in my apartment that dates were...well..." he says doing, ahem, hand gestures, yes.....exactly what Buffy is assumingg too. "I mean it wasn't like that, just got coffee bought, talked, went home and flew off" Zach admits and looks hopeful he'll stil live after this. Nah, he didn't sleep with Willow. That's not his thing. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers peers at The Fallen Angel, "Geez, you do t get out much." she shrugs, "Well a date is just like, going out if your way to spend time with someone you like and--" eyes widen incredulously, "Wait, you flew her to your home?" Buffy folds her arms, "And exactly *what* happened next?" really, this isn't her business, but hey, she's protective of her friends! 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zach shakes his head. "No, I flew off on my own" he protests, eyes shining with the truth that nothing at all happened. Nope, nothing went on with them, as Zach looks worriedly to Buffy. "No no I don't get out much, no" he agrees. "I spent forever in the mddle of nowhere however" he protests, watching her. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers arches a wary brow at him, "Middle of nowhere? What, like limbo or something? You sure dont seem like your typical fallen Angel. I mean, you seem kinda...Clueless or something." she laughs, "And here I thought you posed an actual threat. Are you sure you're even a real angel? May e that's why they threw you out of heaven." yeah, she's being mean. But at least she's not pointing weapons at him? 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zacharias narrows his eyes on Buffy. "I've only been around civilization for five years. Give me a break" Zach says. "Am I real angel? Are you a real what...hiker? Person?" he adds and watches her. "What, are you jealous andd jumping to conclusions? You point a crossbow at me, and get angry about me having coffee with this Willow woman. Are you jealous?" Zach asks stepping back from Buffy. Looking around, he shakes his head. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers narrows her eyes on the Fallen Angel, shaking her head slowly. "Not exactly.." she shrugs and smirks, "But if I wanted you dead, I would have done so already. It's my job to be suspicious and slay demons, especially if they're sniffing after my friends." when he asks if she's jealous, Buffy just laughs. "Really? Jealous of you? Hah! I barely even know you. But now I'm curious about exactly what your relation ship with Willow is. You can't blame me for being protective of my friends. People tend to take advantage of her, heck, she was once kidnapped by a cyber demon who pretended to love her." 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' There's dead silence from Zach before he just laughs. "You. You think" he asks between bouts of laughter. "You think what, I'm dating her because...because I met her, she bought me coffee? That's like me saying what, are you working somewhere and dating your colleague?" he asks with a wary look over. "If I was in a relationship with Willow I'd treat her right, I'd take her flying and make sure not to drop her. Dinner, movies, treat her like a gentleman treats a woman" he says. Oh he's only a thousand years old, or so... Zach shakes his head at Buffy. "So what, is it your job to run off Willow's friends and acquaintances?" he asks. "I met her once, okay. Didn't even get her number. So tell me this. How the hell am I dating her? I'm more likely to sit in my apartment watching the paint dry" 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers arches a brow. Oh boy, did she just read the situation wrong or what? ".....Oh. Really, that's all..?" she laughs, shaking her head, "Okay, sorry, just, all the unsaid things, the way you thought I might be jealous or something.." she smirks, "Alright, how about we start over again? Hi, I'm Buffy, Willow's over protective friend! Who are you?" hey, at least she's willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here.. Buffy totally arches a brow at the 'hell statement though, "Umm if you're a good angel, aren't you not supposed to use that word in jest?" 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zach offers a hand. "Ohh hi, I'm Zach, the guy you were pointing a crossbow at before you said let's start over" he says for this part in this. Looking over Buffy, Zach being six feet eight is taller and more well built, so he's angling the hand down toward Buffy. "I'm a good fallen angel. I get to use and say the things angels can't or won't" he says with a nod, reaching back for the crossbow on his back, running a finger across the front of the bow. "Like that" 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers just folds her arms and doesn't take the offered hand. She may be willing to hear him out but still doesn't trust him. "Zach, Huh? I thought angels all had 'iel'on the end of their names or something, or is that short for Zachiel?" she smirks, "Sooo, what's an angel like you doing in a place like this? Just thought heaven was too boring and decided to take a vacation on little old earth?" 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' "Close enough. Zacharias Rafael" he admits grudgingly. Then with a totally straight face he adds. "Daniels" as if that's the punchline and takes the hand back. "So. Buffy. Is that a nickname. Is it short for something like Bufferina or something inane? I get why you'd go by Buffy. But you're not named after a tree or a plant though. Unless Buffy is secretly a plant species" he says...still withh a straight face. Clueless indeed. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers just stares at him dryly. "As in, Buffy Summers. The Vampire Slayer. And slayer of demons, ghouls, and other evil thingies." she smirks and shakes her head, "Seriously, have you ever seen a tree named Buffy? That'd just be ridiculous." though she does laugh at the name offered. "Sooo basically you have three first names and only one remotely angelic name. Riiight." 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' "No, have you ever seen that tree?" he asks as Zach shakes his head. "I have two angelic name, and then Daniel. Which....has an S on the end,and is angelic too so...so..." Nope, his argument's running out of steam. Great, great. Zach had something witty and clever to say. He totally forgot that and went with simple things. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers peers at Zach ludicrously, "Yeah, I'd work on my jokes a bit more..Soo, how many ither fallen angels are hanging around earth besides you?" eyes narrow a bit, "And how many are actually good versus evil? Yknow, being as that's kinda my business, being Slayer and all." 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zach shakes his head, watching Buffy. "I've no idea" he admits looking like he's got interrogated a little. Or a lot...depending on how Buffy feels. Still though. Buffy has a job to do. Which Zach gets. "How about you don't try killing them just for living?" he asks with a look over Buffy again. 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers arches a brow at Zach, rather incredulously, "Are you kidding me? if I don't slay demons then innocent people get hurt..And maybe you're a 'good fallen angel', but you can bet for every one of you, there are fifty evil fallen angels." it seems pretty crazy but she'll have to check with Giles if that's even possible. But hey, three of her closets friends are 'good' vampires, so Buffy is willing to give this weirdo just the slightest benefit of the doubt. "Look, if you have any I formation that can help, it would be appreciated." 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' Zach shakes his head at Buffy and watches her for a moment. Okay. Okay. Not being on the pointy end of a crossbow is good. But. But... It's still a win, Zach's not dead or defeathered and used to stuff bedding with so....he'll take it. Admittedly, angel feathers aree a pain to give away too, but... Watching Buffy again, Zach smiles and shakes his head. "I like those odds. I don't much like angelkind myself" he adds, and unfurls his wings shaking them out. Cue cloud of feathers. Cue Zach having a coughing fit like an old man who smokes twenty packs a day and worked in a coal mine. Once that's done though, Zach shakes out his wings, his clothes now coated in feathers. Well, this'll add color to his clothing at least... 

:'''{{#var:328|Buffy Summers (328)}} has posed:''' Buffy Summers quirks a curious brow at shedding feathers, "Woah, don't tell me it's moulting season.." she takes a few steps back, not wanting to get showered in feathers. Ugh.."Wow what are you, a walking feather duster?" she is surprised at the admission, "Dont like your own kind? how come?" 

:'''{{#var:9609|Zach Daniels (9609)}} has posed:''' "It's moulting season. Also, I got left here. Hence being called a fallen angel" Zach shrugs, watching Buffy. "You sure Willow won't need any of these feathers?" he asks and looks amused by the idea. Sure givee a witch one of his feathers. What's the worst she'll do..make a quill out of it? Once he's done making a neat little pile...or, giant mess of, more accurately, feathers, Zach laughs. "I'm a feather duster. Listen lady, you try and use me to clean your house I will toss you out the nearest window? I saw it in a movie once"
