It was becoming increasingly obvious that his recently acquired fighting style was a eerily similar to Buffy's -- or at least it was obvious to Peter. Sort of. Mostly it was just strange, but he was vaguely preoccupied with laying into the hordes of armed nerds. At least he wasn't preoccupied enough that he couldn't hold a conversation. "Something tells me they're not getting bored anytime soon."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"I'll let you in on a secret. Neither am I." She flips over one fake vampire, punching out two once she gets between them, then laying out a third with a well-placed trip. "Where'd you learn to fight?"

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

He needs a couple seconds before he can turn back to Buffy, seeing just how much he can get away with, with his newly acquired kickboxing skills. Knocking down a few more guys with something he could've sworn he saw from one of those late night movies they had playing in the waiting rooms. And then he's looking back at Buffy, admittedly sheepish. "I didn't."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"You didn't, as in..." She can't even think of a good metaphor. Maybe because she was distracted by another pudgy vampire, but probably because what Peter was saying didn't make any sense. Though she was starting to notice how bewildered he looked. "As in, this is new to you?"

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

"Look, I can get into a fist fight and handle my own." Stopping to breathe for a second as the wave of angry nerds had quelled for the time being, Peter still looks completely sheepish. "But I never learned anything apart from how to throw a punch."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Then how are you... you know, with the more than punchiness." She wrinkles her nose, gesturing vaguely to his similar fighting style. At least the mob is starting to slow, though it still feels like only the beginning. "And the superstrengthiness."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

Keeping his eyes out for any more threatening parties that might decide to continue acting on their need for violence, Peter hesitates before glancing back to Buffy, looking a little bit guilty somehow. "I'm guessing because you can." Which would mean that he can't heal anymore, a fact that makes him more wary.

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

She looks down at her fists, then back up at Peter, eyes widening slightly. "What does that mean?"

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

Peter doesn't look too concerned anymore, just placated. "It means if you shot me with an arrow now, I wouldn't be able to heal anymore. I pick up people's... abilities."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Oh..." She does look concerned though. Muchly. "So I took your healing powers away when I gave you Slayer strength?"

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

Peter's been through this enough times by now to not be all that bothered. Yeah, sure on the inside he's grumbling a bit because being a regen is convenient. But as they say, shit happens. "Not on purpose, but yeah. That's how it works."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," and she really is, like, really sorry. "This wouldn't have happened if I didn't shoot you with an arrow! Like a...like a shooting thing."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

And while he appreciates her apologies, there's nothing much to do about it now but try to be more careful. Though, being Peter, being more careful seemed to always end up bringing about violent repercussions anyway. Which was why he's a little edgier than he was a few moments ago. "I've done it on accident a couple times, don't worry about it. It happens."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Still...sorry." She grimaces, letting it drop there. "At least Slayer powers give you an advantage over this fampires. ...You know, fake vampires. With the fighty and the kicky."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, at least there's that." He smiles faintly, though it's obviously forced. Not because of Buffy, but more because of the roaming fampires. "Usually my abilities don't involve combat training. It's different."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Slayer powers are... weird. Technically they come with being the chosen one. I guess we can get with the chosen two-ing though." At least Peter was better than Faith, but it was definitely weird fighting with a slayer of the XY variety.

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

"So you're the chosen one." Technically, Peter doesn't really consider himself to be chosen just because he's taken on the abilities. But he's back to looking at Buffy, obviously made curious by the fact at hand.

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"That's me. Choseny me." It was a little more complicated than that now, but she doesn't really have to get into it. She knows he wasn't chosen, he's not even a girl--but it's still cool, having some one she can explain it to.

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

Peter's trying not to over-think this, but Peter's still, in small ways, the same person he was over a year ago. "Something to do with destiny?" He flashes her a look that's all curiosity and nothing else.

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Maybe." She looks down, smiling a little though it's brief. "Every generation there's a--me. Who kills all the icky things, and makes the world nice-nice. But things got a little messed up when I died the first time."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

"... The first time." He repeats the statement, expression almost unreadable, because that's not really something you hear very often. But a second later he snorts, the sound humorless. "It messes things up, doesn't it. Dying."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

Her returning laugh sounds hollow, almost like a mockery of 'ha ha.' "Yeah, it's definitely messy. At least the first time it was only for a few seconds. Long enough for Kendra to wake up though, and when Kendra died I got Faith. Lucky me."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

Peter's pretty sure that he's not going to ask about the second time any time soon, especially from the way Buffy made it sound. "Sounds like you and her are best friends." His expression is closer to a grimace, the pain shared by being forced to deal with unpleasant people.

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"We were," she says in all seriousness. "That didn't really make with the lasting."

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry." His expression is sympathetic, though he doubts that she wants any kind of pity.
