At the Magic Box...
"Spike said that it was a regurgitating Frovalox demon."
Buffy continued to tell Giles about the demon they'd encountered a few nights before. She was telling him how she had to throw away her shirt because it smelled so bad after the fight when Willow walked in with Tara and Kit.
"H-hi, Mr. Giles. I hope you don't mind that I brought my sister, Katina, with me," Tara said, avoiding the Watcher's eyes.
"Katina," Giles smiled, offering his hand. "Rupert Giles. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Kit took his hand and pumped it once before releasing it. "Kit Murphy, nice to meet you, too."
"K-kit moved here a few months ago after..." Tara trailed off not wanting to upset her sister.
"It's okay, Tara," Kit soothed. "My husband and daughter were killed in a car crash. I wanted to be near family and Tara is all I have. So, we're all here."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Giles offered his condolence.
"Um, this is Xander and Anya," Tara continued the introductions. "And this is Buffy. Sh-she's the Slayer."
"Wow. Tara told me you were young," Kit told the girl in front of her. "You know, I think that the whole process of choosing a slayer is totally based on finding someone who can completely throw off the demon population." Buffy was grinning at Kit. "And if I were Big Bad, I would so not think that you could hurt a fly. I love it!"
"Um, Kit's a witch, Buffy. Like me. And Tara. Well, way better than me and Tara," Willow gushed. "Uh, you are better than me and Tara, right?"
Kit couldn't help but laugh a little. She really didn't do a lot with her witchcraft, but she had the inherent ability to do so. She liked Willow's exuberance. And it was nice to be around people again. Which made her glance at her watch. William.
"So, what's the what on this Frodo demon?" Xander asked.
"Frovalox. I don't really know a lot about it. Spike knew what it was, but he really hasn't been around a lot lately which is really weird since he was almost stalking me for like ever," Buffy told him.
"Hmmm... and Dead Boy not being around is a bad thing... why?" Xander asked sarcastically.
"Spike is a vampire. He, uh... helps sometimes," Anya explained.
"Defanged," Xander grinned, apparently not a big fan of the impotent vamp.
"I mean, not that I'm not grateful he's found something else to occupy his time," Buffy continued. "Just makes me wonder what he's up to... probably something not of the good."
