[Dawn is now cast-free, but that doesn’t mean her leg isn’t having some growing pains. Halfway through the party she feels the need to get off her feet, but the challenge in turn is making sure she has an appropriate conversation partner. As she wanders, she finds Matt and Tyler chatting in a quiet corner, and while she doesn’t want to intrude—if she had just gotten her best friend back from the dead, she would want to have some quiet time—but the room does look like it has a very comfortable couch.]
You boys mind if I chill on that couch for a bit?
[She’ll even let you ask her all kinds of questions in return, if that’s considered fair trade. She’s been sleeping here, but she hasn’t really gotten the chance to get to know Jeremy’s friends much yet. She’s sure that they probably have questions for her.]
( Believe it or not, Matt and Tyler are catching more up over NFL statistics and outcomes than real personal crap. There's a lot to sift through. His dad's dead. His mom, too, and that was more a Cade-betrayal thing, but he's not ready to really explore any of it. It's easy to sit here with a beer and just talk about the Commanders? )
Dude, I get why they changed the name, but -- ( If racism is denounced, there has to be a better name in the wings. ) Dawn, right? Hey, of course. ( He slides over, closer to Tyler who shifts, too. ) Your leg tired?
I do appreciate a girl who knows what she wants. Honestly everything I've heard reminds me a lot of Cordy.
[High School Queen Bee who became the best version of herself after colliding with the supernatural. Also Cordy and Caroline would get along like a house on fire.]
"Cordelia. She's an old friend of Buffy's and depending on who you ask, the right hook of the powers, whatever that means. She's here with some guy named Angel.")
[At least at this current point in time. Not that she's not happy for Angel and Cordy that they get Fred back - Fred is great, Dawn is adding her to her nerd collection - but there's some other people Dawn would have liked to see too.]

[She settles on the couch with them, gently resting the healing leg on the ottoman nearby.]
Don't mind me. Please continue with the sports talk.

( And that Stefan's girlfriend lived in a castle. )
We were pretty much done. You're also Buffy's sister, right?
( "She is, and, no, Buffy and Dawn didn't know Stefan and Jeremy even knew each other." Tyler explains. )
no subject
[Dawn flashes Tyler a grateful smirk before shrugging.]
The world is small and full of coincidence. But yes, I am Buffy's sister. You can tell by the way we like to flagrantly abuse the English language.

( "Not that there's anything wrong with run-on sentences," Tyler said. "We both dated Caroline, didn't we?" )
no subject
[And she generally likes most people who Buffy likes.]
I've heard she's very high maintenance.
no subject
( Or they regret not liking her. )
And she just knows what she likes. She's not hard to please. Not like she was in high school. Pre-Katherine.

( Matt takes that one, having mingled.

[Cordy has a way of making friends with the right people. Also, she's nosy.]
I think she and Angel are here until they sort out everything with Fred.
no subject
( This Fred person. )

Your crew seems to have gotten the most lucky.
