        “Just saying, you’re barely making my top 10 of adultnappings, here.” He probably should stop quipping but he’s never been good at that. His mouth tends to do things without permission and he’s given up trying to keep it leashed. There’s the slightly funny way the evil scientists—seriously, evil scientists—keep insisting he’s an assassin, because excuse you what sure he fights for his life on a regular basis, but, like, decapitations are kind of public and most people wouldn’t go for that, not that he knows anything about that kind of thing, no siree.
        It goes downhill pretty quick. He makes yet another quip. They beat him up a little more. One minute the Vidic guy is explaining, with enthusiasm, they’re hardly demons, they’re working for the good of the world and a noble goal and all that shit, when suddenly he seems to put together that when Xander asked about demons, it wasn’t a metaphor, he was being entirely literal, and then there’s sudden friendliness and interest and they remind him uncomfortably of the Initiative.
        Hell, they didn’t know about demons and now they do and I am firmly in Camp That’s of the Major Bad, here.
