Spike sits at a table, looking straight into the tablet. His arms are crossed, and he looks annoyed.

"All right, I'm looking for a girl," he says. "She was one of the people the Master took, long brown hair, very pretty, probably knows Drusilla. You all right, love?" He doesn't know her name, and he still feels bad about not pulling her out. But he had to take down Drusilla first.

He pauses for a moment, licking his lips, then leans forward. "Not actually her I need, though, I put my coat over her during the fight. It's a long, black leather duster, and I'm bloody attached to it. So whoever's got it, give it back."

He clicks off the transmission and sits back to wait for answers.

[She may have sounded a little too sharp there.]

I apologize sir; your talking did not offend me, as I'm sure it was meant in kindness.

There have just been some repercussions [and that's as detailed as she's getting with a virtual stranger] due to my injuries. I was only trying to establish if they began as early as the rescue.

Repercussions? [It's too bad it's an incredibly curious stranger] What repercussions?

And stop calling me sir, it makes me sound old. [he's only 152!]

The Master has left some unfortunate side effects, that is all. I hope to recover shortly.

[Incredibly curious stranger, meet politely private lady.]

So what am I to call you then? We are not acquainted well enough to call you by your given name, and I called Sir Owain, 'sir' even though he was younger than me.

Well, is it something I should worry about? Cause if you're going to snap and kill us all, I'd like to know about it in advance.

I'm not Sir Owain, am I? Just call me Spike. Everyone does. And if it makes you feel better, it's not my given name.

[Pause. A breath, and then a longer pause.]

Do not be concerned, my condition is being closely watched.

[Witness avoidance tactics in their natural habitat.]

And, as you wish, Spike. [That might have sounded fairly awkward.]

Fine, but I'll probably be concerned anyway.

[Part of having a soul is caring whether strangers live or die.]

Thanks, pet. Just feels a bit weird for me.

[A topic change, and a reasonable one, is called for]

Sir -- Spike -- you mentioned a Cordelia was one of the victims. May I inquire as to her well-being?

Last I talked to her she was doing all right, all things considered. She'll live. You friends with her too?

I have never met a Cordelia in Taxon, as of yet, no. They only victims with whom I am personally familiar are Miss Tyler and Miss Maclay.

I simply wished to know that your Cordelia was receiving care and recovering.

Oh, she's not mine, she's Angel. I was just helping.

You know Tara?
