( He was jock-ish and dickish before his power emerged, so he was on the Gaelic field and keeping his weight up, not paying attention to superheroes. )
I'll take your word for it, then. ( re: Serena. ) That wouldn't be awkward at all. "An' what are you, now?"
Ya' think? I already do that, not looking to really ramp up my efforts if you know what I mean. You're on Lindsay's side, though, but you've met by big brother?
Actually technically I'm more on his side of things. Watcher solidarity.
[She smirks as she reaches for her drink.]
Beck and I were kind of coming up around the same time as Giles was remaking the Watcher's Council so we got to work on a lot of projects together. Granted, I was in college, he was done with all that, but it creates a bond all the same.
It's a weird shop to talk about. You spend a lot of your days buried in books and talking about demons from dimensions with no name and it kind has the way of killing a vibe.
[With Buffy and Jeremy it's easy, as they're also in the biz, as it were, but other people can make things complicated.]
I'm sure when he's around you guys the last thing he wants to talk about is his day job.

I don't know either way. I don't think we'd be able to know unless we talked to her and she felt comfortable sharing.

I probably wouldn't lead with that, no. Definitely sounds like a way to put someone on edge.

( Does she know his ma? )
You're old friends, then. He doesn't talk shop with his siblings. He took up the mantle like ma, but we're all proud.

( Callahan thinks it's more than that, more heroic. But, that's his big brother. )
More like, rehashing our childhood beef. Giving each other guff.

[Dawn nods in agreement.]
That sounds like siblings. Me and my sister are big on the casual bickering.
