[Location: Wilde] | Hey Monkey, where you Been?

Finally.

FINALLY.

Now here's something that she could do, that she was useful for. She's good at the Rescuing and Saving business, so the faster she gets there, the faster...

Something snags in her hair, tugging a bit before letting go. Like a tree branch? Buffy brushes at her hair, but there's nothing there.

There's a whoosh, and a screech, and this time claws snag and tug harder before letting go again.

"What the..." Buffy looks up to see a winged form flapping away, drawing away a distance before wheeling around for another pass.



[ooc: this is initially for Mick and Buffy to have a Moment together, in which Our Heroine Discovers That Not All Is As It Seems, and Falls Back on her Usual Plan of 'sticking a stake in problems'.]

No swiping appears to be forthcoming, and Buffy's making sure he notices that the stake is getting put back in her pocket, out of immediate reach.

"Well, since we're turning this into Sharing Hour, I feel like I should tell you that this whole vampire thing is my job. Slaying them, that is."

She tries for a return smile, and makes it a bit more than him, but not by much. Everything here seems a little tenuous, and trying to kill him seems to be enough damage for today.

"You're a bit different than my usual, though."

A vampire slayer. A real, modern day vampire slayer, in the flesh...

It certainly explains why she's so calmly accepted his late, very late, abhorrently late introduction. Among other things.

Mick nods slowly. The skin itches where the stake was lodged just a minute ago, but he refrains from giving into the urge to scratch. He supposes there's worse ways to make introductions than 'lol almost killd you'.

Of course, there's better ways too. Which is why he holds out his hand, presents Buffy with a smile that comes more closely to his usual charming self, and goes with that train of thought.

"I'm Mick. Most recently from L.A. Former P.I. Vampire."

"Hi there, Mick. I can't remember if I told you before, but I'm Buffy, most recently from Las Vegas. And you know what I do... did. What I did."

As so far the only slaying she's attempted has been against imaginary vampires and, well, Mick.

She shakes his hand in return and smiles back.

"Thanks for your help on the flying monkey. Why do we have flying monkeys now?"
