Chateau Grief 267

Dude: Gee you’d think you’d be cold in this weather.

Xander: Do you know about women? They’re vipers. Totally heartless.

Dude: Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em.

Xander: She’s just a girl I messed up. Got in a fight with her boyfriend.

Xander: At my advanced age too.

Xander: You never know when you punch a guy…whether you’re going to put the lights out permanently do you? It’s a roll of the dice. Fate.

Xander: What am I talking about fate!? I’ve got a choice, don’t I? She’s the one harping on about fatalism!

Xander: I can choose the higher road! She wouldn’t be who she is today without me!

Xander: She’s average! She’s not some cosmic holier-than-thou—everything is based on that one action. My action.

Dude: …mm hmm…

Xander: I changed her!

Xander: Have you even got a woman to break your heart?

Xander: What you need is a woman to make you go on a diet.

Xander: She’s taking advantage of me. I’ve got to fight back. I’ve got to make her sorry. She can’t treat people like they’re not worthy. She’s a human being too.

Author Notes:

When Xander finally opens up and talks about stuff...nope...talking just makes it worse.

Characters: Xander, Dr. John

Episode Recap:

Xander is complaining. This one is pretty simple. Ok, ok. So the guy, we’ll call him Dr. John for instance, remarks casually on Xander’s ridiculous lack of attire. He doesn’t even have garters on, which is shocking. Much less a cravat. Xander is obsessed with Kore. If you couldn’t already tell. He whines, he complains, he moans, he does the scary teeth face thing that happens when he’s not actively trying to be charming. His parents were not dentists, obviously. Or philosophers. He’s struggling but not with his weight, the vain little shapeshifter. And he is vain, oh yessiree he’s vain as a peacock. Wouldn’t you be if you were like a hundred and twelve and had hair like that?
