Owner	Pose
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle had not planned on staying in Bludhaven for long, especially knowing of Spike's discomfort with the place. She had fallen asleep during the trip back home, and barely managed to drag herself back to their apartment, flopping down tiredly in the sofa once inside. It was perhaps more due to th effects of the cursed wound and the attempt to heal it that caused the exhaustion more than anything else really. Either way she's happy to be home.
Spike	The night settles and so it is a little easier to drive back home. If she needs help back to the apartment then he will of course help her. Otherwise, he lets her go where she needs. Regardless, he is glad to be leaving Bludhaven and to be back in Gotham. Even if Gotham is home to a certain pretentious prick, he is glad to be back,"Be it ever so humble." he comments closing the door behind them.
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle yawns and stretches, pulling out the bag of herbs from her backpack. She had carefully carried it with her, nit letting it out of her sight once since they got back. "Well...Here it is, although I suppose our work is just beginning." she sighs tiredly, "Thank you, Spike. For accompanying me to Bludhaven. I know it must not have been easy for you.."
Spike	"No rest for the wicked." he replies with a smirk and looks at the herbs curiously,"For as long as I have been in this world I've never really figured out the idea behind magic. Sure certain herbs can be entertaining, but that's about all I get."      Looking at the bag closer he finally shakes his head,"Leave the magic stuff to the pros. Dresden and Willow I suppose." He takes a seat on the couch and he tells you,"I've been thinking about your little four legged friend and I might have a way to at least slow it down."
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle nods slowly as she peers into the paper bag, wrinkling her nose a bit at some of the more fragrant herbs. "Hmm, Willow said they have to be prepared as fresh as possible. Which is why Harry didn't simply mix the potion right away. Plus, we need one more key ingredient - the blood of the Matagot that attacked me." she smirks, "Apparently that's what they're called, powerful cat like demons that are often summon to do contracts. They apparently like treasure a lot." Selina pulls out a photograph of such a creature which greatly resembles the one they e been having trouble with lately. She dies quirk a curious brow at him though. "Oh? What's your idea?"
Spike	"Blood is life. That's not just a vampire's way of thinking. It is in every part of life. The idea you need blood to get rid of it makes sense." he muses. Maybe he knows a little more about magic than he lets on. Maybe that's just the way his brain thinks.      "A net. Something heavily weighted. It wouldn't keep it forever, but it might slow it down." he replies on the idea,"Long enough to get blood from it. If we had a sword we might even skewer the thing. Did Dresden give you any ideas how to kill it?"
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle nods slowly. "Hmmm, I guess that makes sense then..Seems you know about this stuff than you were letting on." as for its weaknesses, she just shrugs, "Hmm it's all in the notes here. It's a demon so it's weak towards holy water and as a creature of the shadows it's weak towards light, especially sunlight and holy light. My e that's why it was repelled by Sparrowhawk's light staff. Although I'm a bit reluctant to ask the Bats for help" She sighs a bit as she leans back, closing her eyes. "I mean, not only does it make me look weak, but I probably caused them enough trouble last time.." as for Spike's idea, she smirks, "You know, that just might work."
Spike	"Well. I can't really do much with the holy water either." he comments,"I'm not a big fan of bright light either." He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly,"Fire would probably be useful, but again it's past my use."      He reaches over and pulls her closer,"If you were weak, you would never have caught my attention." he tells her softly,"Make no mistake. You have my attention. For a good while. As long as you want it."
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle nods slowly, "Well, if we did call on Sparrowhawk, I'm sure she'd keep her light away from you, assuming that type of light can harm you." she nods, "Hmm, fire is a possibility though. I'm not usually in the market for flamethrowers, too messy, but if things get desperate.." Selina is only too happy for his touch however, and she's been feeling tense lately as she presses up against him, resting her head on his shoulder. "I know..." she smiles, "Although I'm curious. This..Whatever it is between us. We're not just..Using each other to get over other people, are we? I mean, at first that was what it was for me but..Maybe it's something more than that now...?" she's not so good with her feelings, letting her guard down. She feels..Tense.
Spike	"I don't think her light causes sunlight or fire damage, I just really don't like bright light at all." he comments and settles into the couch and clearly enjoys having her close to him,"Flamthrower is a stretch, but there are some options. Molotovs....not my idea of fun either, but more practical."      "You're right. It was some sort of rebound at the beginning, but not so sure now." His hand raises to stroke her cheek lightly,"I live a long time, but I can see me spending some of it with you if you want. I don't fall in love easy, but when I do it sticks...a long time. Through times that it shouldn't really."
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle nods, "It bothers you that much? I mean..Don't you ever miss the feeling of warm sunlight on your face? I don't know if I could live like that, but I suppose there are advantages too, right?" she grins, "Like super strength, a long life.." she sighs almost longingly. Selina does smile more softly as she cuddles against him, resting her cheek in his hand and closing her eyes. "I can't say I fall in love easily, but..,I like you..A lot. I want to spend more time with you, and I wanr to get to know you better."she smirks, looking back up at him, her lips barely rushing his face. "I've always thought poets are kinda sexy." she purrs, her words a mere whisper.
Spike	"I miss the sun sure." he replies,"It was warm when I was able to be in it, but I don't see me trying it again....who am I kidding I run out in it all the time, it just hurts like no other." He laughs softly,"Long life, enhanced durability, faster reflexes, and stronger than average." He laughs again, longer this time,"Bloody hell I sound like a commercial for being a vampire."      "When we fall the heart cares not. It takes every experience and war we've fought. The lovers touch brings us bliss. Every touch the prelude to a kiss." he muses softly. He snorts a little at his own words and tells you,"I'm a little rusty it seems, but I am all in for a chance to know you more."
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle sighs, "Gee, that really sucks. But I wonder if we can't do something about it..? You know, I'm no magic expert but you'd think there was..I dunno, magical amulets to route the you from the sun or something? It's something to investigate." she smiles at the thought, leaning in closer to listen to his poetry. "Hmm, that's not all that bad. I think it's pretty sweet. You dint look like a sensitive poet. I'm surprised at you every time." she grins as she leans in to kiss him softly on the lips.
Spike	He hmms thoughtfully and tells you,"There was a story about a jewel. A gem named for Amarra." he explains,"I'm not sure it is real. Likely just a thing to keep the little vampires dreaming about getting a tan without getting smoked and then dusted. Nobody really knows what it is set in since it is likely just a myth."      He laughs again at what she says and nudges her just a little when she says it is pretty sweet,"Take that back." he teases. When she moves in to kiss him though, oh that is a nice surprise as well. A hint of smile touches his feautres at first, clearly enjoying the connection between them.
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle arches a brow, "Gem of Amara huh?" She grins wickedly, licking her lips, "Sounds fun! Probably priceless too! But if it can protect you from the sunlight, it's worth investigating, right?" She just chuckles, sliding her hands under his armpits and starts to playfully tickle him, eventually breaking the kiss, only to nibble on his ear as she whispers, "Nah, why would I do that? I'm having waaay too much fun watching you blush!"
Spike	"I've had a few passing moments looking for it, but for the most part I've taken it for granted it isn't out there." he replies,"It would be priceless for sure. Every vampire on the plant would pay any price for it. Leverage would be an understatment."      "Hey." he protests at the ticlking. For a bad ass vampire over a hundred years old he is surprisingly ticklish. He swats at her hands. Not hard enough to hurt, just to deflect your hands for the moment,"I'm a vampire love. I can't blush. The blood doesn't work that way anymore." he teases,"I wonder what makes Selina Kyle blush."
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle grins impishly, "Oooh, but I do like a challenge! And maybe it's just a myth and nothing more, but doesn't every well-known story have a shred of truth to it? Don't give up so easily, 'love!'" she purrs softly in his ear again, giving it a teasing little nibble, although she continues to tickle him, hands fumbling with his shirt buttons now with an impish smile. "Oooh that's too bad, but doesn't mean I can't make you laugh right? As for what makes me blush.." she smiles faintly and shrugs, "To be honest, it's not something I think about much...Always had to build a wall of toughness around myself, keep my emotions in check. Although I'm a sucker for a killer smile, and sweet and sensitive poetry written just for me.."
Spike	"I have all sorts of challenges in mind." he teases softly,"The gem would be great, but..." he laughs more as you continue to tickle him. The nibbles and shirt invasion gets his attention more though,"I guess you can make me laugh love." There is a nod as he consideres the words she said,"We all build walls, sometimes just to see if someone will try to knock them down for us." The smile spreads more and he asks,"This killer enough?"
Selina Kyle	Selina Kyle smirks, laying her head in his lap a little as she peers up at him, "Oooh, what other..Challenges did you have in mind?" there's that sexy purr again as she continues to tease him, feigning innocence. "Ooh, lucky me, I suppose it's hard to make a sensitive vampire poet laugh, hmm?" she grins wickedly as she cuddles up to him more, craning her neck and purring, "Mmm, that's a nice smile for sure.." she reaches up to trace his lips with her fingers before sliding a finger under his chin, his chin, tilting her mouth up to meet his.
