[ There are very few people who Buffy trusts implicitly; she can count them on one hand and still have fingers left over. Spike is among that tiny number; he's seen her at her best and her worst and still stood by her. She doesn't even question the instinct to follow his lead, instead just watching the way he moves, frowning at the creaking hinges but noting how the oil helped. If he's taking these kind of precautions...
The creatures are a real threat. She knows Spike, he wouldn't be going through these elaborate motions if he could easily take the things out. So either something has happened to his strength or- More things to process later. Soon. In a few minutes, after she gets some other answers. ]
Yeah, not that long ago... It's good to see you too. [ Good to see him alive, sort of, and not on fire- ] Wait a minute. Were you just walking in the sun?!
[ There's a hint of alarm in her voice to go with the concern written across her face. Yes, clearly he's just fine and not at all crispy, but she can't help the way her heartbeat quickens at the thought of him in the sun and things not ending so well. ]
