Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas had arranged to have lunch with his brother, just a chance for the two of them to catch up. So when about 2 pm, the back security door opens, it's likely that the meeting was cut short, though not by much. "Buffy? You awake love?" he calls out, heading to the fridge. He debates a beer for only a heartbeat and then takes out a diet Dr. Pepper and cracks it open.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers had a rare day off from her many responsibilities, and was rather enjoying the peace and quiet, watching an old re-run of Seinfeld as she cozied on the sofa after a nice sleep-in..She's wearing a white t-shirt and denim cut-off shorts, Lounging on the sofa with a sofa water when he opens.

"Thomas.." she smiles, glancing towards him with a smile, "How'd lunch with little brother go? You're back earlier than I expected.."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith walks behind the sofa and leans over it and her bringing his mouth to her's in an upside down kiss. "Long overdue." he says with an amused grin, then he moves slightly and vaults over the sofa to take a seat beside her. "But then he had a client come in and we had to cut things a bit short. Which is why I figured I should come tell you about it."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles, returning the kiss, and his graceful movements in vaulting over the sofa still takes her by surprise. Though it's a pleasant surprise. It's always enjoyable to watch him move like that. She does arch a curious brow at the client. "Oh...? Why would it interest me?" she is curious now.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith takes a long sip of his soda, Relaxing agienst her and watching the show. "Well she's having some sort of magical issue. Not sure what exactly, whole client confidentiality thing I suppose." he casually strokes her arm gently, his finger tips tracing that shivering pleasure behind them. "He recommended that she go to the Magic Box for potion components and since you /work/ at the Magic Box, I thought you might appreciate a head's up that Harry was sending work your way."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers blinks slowly. "Hmm..What's her name, if I may ask? To be honest, I only have very limited knowledge of magic lore and it's practical uses. I'm mostly there because Giles is on sabbatical, and Anya is..Well, none of us are sure where she is, lately. If she needs help with potions specifically, Willow is probably the best person to help her. Good to know Harry's business is picking up though. I know it sometimes slows down around this time.."

She shivers at his touch and smirks, leaning in against him. His enticement never seems to get old..

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith says, "Selina Kyle," He says casually. "Hard to miss really. Dark hair, sultry, classy. Has a certain almost feline grace. Honestly if I didn't know better I'd almost have suspected her of being a white court herself." He shakes his head and pause for a long beat then adds "Oh, and she has Spike tagging along behind her like a puppy, that's a pretty distinguishing feature.""

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a curious brow, "Selina Kyle, the  Philanthropist? I've heard of her of course, an animal rights activist." she smiles, "But seriously, how'd Spike end up with a high end socialite like her?" she frowns a bit, "Wait a minute, does that mean Spike's in town now too?" well that could be messy. she sighs, clutching his hand, giving it a squeeze. She knows things are not so great between the two vampires, among other things.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks ever so slightly, "Oh yes, he is definitely back in town." He says with just a touch of an edge to his voice, then he leans over and gives Buffy a gentle kiss. "You better know I love you. It's the only thing keeping me from going and feeding on her till she can't think straight just out of spite." He pauses and considers, "Though if I didn't love you I wouldn't care so I suppose that's a wash."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers frowns a bit at that, tensing slightly as he kisses her. "You'd really feed on her..Just to punish me..? You do realize that what happened to me and Spike..It'll never happen again..We've both moved on." she seems a bit upset that he'd even consider feeding on this Selina woman...But maybe Buffy deserves it.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith rolls his eyes slightly, "no Buffy." he says in a tone of slightly exaggerated calm. "I /won't/ feed on her because of you. It's as simple as that. I might want to as a way of striking at /him/, but /that/ is a completely different matter. You are the only reason /wouldn't/. And it's more reason then anything else that they could pile on the other side of the scale.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smiles faintly, nodding slowly. "I know..Guess I'm just paranoid. I know it's probably harder for you to ignore a pretty face than me right? I mean..It's kind of..Your nature. But.." she shrugs, "Anyway, at least he's moved on in life right? And if he's not in town for long, there's nothing to worry about." she clearly still feels guilty still..About everything. "Funny she came out of town to find to Harry for help..But if she's got Spike with her, I'm sure he can help her deal with whatever supernatural problem she's dealing with. To be honest, things have been fairly quiet around town though. I hope there isn't something in store for Halloween, that always seems to be the worst season for supernatural spikes. I'm still looking forward to Splattercon!!! though..We should go shopping for costumes soon?"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith grins ever so slightly and reaches over and picks the slayer up. Moving her, as long as she doesn't fight him, so that she is straddling his lap with no more effort then one might use to simmilarly manipulate a toddler. "It's my nature. You make me want to overcome it. Give me a reason to do so. Every day." He says softly, sliding his hands up her back under her t-shirt. "And speaking of costumes... I believe I have been a very good boy today." He adds in a wickedly playful tone.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers doesn't fight it, she trusts him enough to never pull away like that. Instead she grins, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Hmmm, you really are complex individual aren't you?" she tilts her head, shivering at his touch, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside as she pulls him closer. "I'm glad I have that effect on you..And yes, you've been a *very* good boy.." she grins and winks. "What did you have in mind...?"
