I think the word I used was "quaint."

[And it's not entirely backhanded, but ... her friends are rich and bougie. They generally expect a certain caliber.]

Generally more of a bartender vibe, but I think Wes would work there anyway.

[But that might be more about fondness for the owner than the caliber of guests.]

As if Wes would do anything we ask of him.

( Speaking of 'quaint', this moment was, but good old Rhett likes to interrupt. )

Or, anything we believe could be for his own good. He has had quite the rebellious streak.

( "Funny, I avoided the northwest during my rebellion," Damon says. "Mostly." )

He's in his seventies now. I think it's past rebellion.

[It's not as though he's a teenager, Rhett. It's be serious now.]

He's an adult. As much as I'm sure he appreciates your advice, he's going to make his own choices.

And you trust and believe in them.

( While he and Scarlet judge from afar. Or, maybe he is the lone judge. (He is a king when it comes to judgment.) He is also set in his ways.

"I always get a kick out of vampires keeping up with the times. What's your most-used emoji?" Damon asks, hands clasped, fingers pointing.
)

Nothing better or more timeless than a middle finger, Damon.

You're going to have to trust him sometime.

[As much as she knows what Rhett and Scarlett have been through when it comes to children, and what Wes has been through that time they almost lost him, Wes isn't a child and they can't continue to treat him as one.

And sometimes, she tired of playing the mediator between all three of them.]


Otherwise he will only stay away longer.

Staying away isn't always the wrong thing. But, look who's talking.

( Damon Salvatore. )

He probably misses you, even if it's deep deep down. And he always returns, right? Planes go both ways. Only took me over a year to join my brother over the rainbow.

I think he would love it if you visited him, honestly. So long as you called in advance, of course.

[Surprising Wes would likely lead to things they don't want to see.]

But Damon's right. He'll be back eventually. He just needs some space.

Scarlet and me in the Pacific Northwest, next you'll suggest we wear our best flannel.

( "Don't knock flannel." Not in the right environment. )

Oh, I'm sure you'll find ways to fit it.

[That's mostly teasing, and she takes both her boys by the arm.]

Now come. I want to get properly introduced to Stefan's lady friend.

( Rejoin the group, Buffy is mid-story! )

And that's why I just can't get behind Scottish scotch. ( She makes a face, tongue sticking out. ) Blech. ( It had involved a free case in gratitude for de-haunting one of the local pubs, but, surprise, it was the booze that was haunted and it infested the castle. You try fighting a spirit that increases inebriation in its' inhabitants without drinking a drop of alcohol. ) You will not believe the insurance payments we pay against hauntings.

I'm sure that is quite the premium.

[She can only imagine, really. But she glances over to see who Rhett and Damon are bringing back to the table and her face brightens when she sees Melanie, despite the fact that she was likely listening in.]

Melly, darling. It certainly took you long enough to get here.

[Melanie smiles as she leans in to give Scarlett and Stefan a customary cheek kiss greeting. "Scarlett, Stefan." then she turns to the blond. "You must be the Buffy I've heard teasings of. Melanie Hamilton."

Technically Hamilton Wilkes, but she dropped Ashely's last name decades ago.]

Buffy Summers. So you all are -- quite the packaged pai - trio. ( She makes a face, wincing. ) Sorry, you probably get this a lot from - people who have seen the movie or fallen asleep reading the book. I promise by the end of this night I will remember you aren't just melodramatic characters in a movie.

( Her jaw shuts. )

And I am just making this worse ( she grabs for Stefan's hand. ) Put me out of my misery, won't you?

[Stefan is sympathetic, he squeezes her hand and nods as he gets to his feet.]

We should be getting back. But perhaps dinner while we all are in town?

[Melanie smiles. "We would love that, Stefan." Then, she glances to Damon. "What about you, Damon? Sticking around?"

Scarlett leans back in her chair and raises an eyebrow at Damon, curious if he will turn their threesome into a foursome.]

( "Seeing as I'm persona non grata in all my hometown glory," he starts. "And I can't leave my little brother after just arriving."

It's Buffy's turn to roll her eyes, forever a sibling herself.


If we don't throw him out on his ass before that.

( She jests. Damon har-har's and stays back while Buffy and Stefan leave. He likes these three. They're all lively in their own way. The night gets away from him like it hasn't in some time. )
