[ but there's something about clementine's apology and horner's casual conjuring of their 'marriage' that gives buffy pause. she busies herself with pouring the smoothies. adding umbrellas. sliding strawberry slices onto the rims. ]
Ever see one of those nature shows, Clementine? The ones where the moose have these big antlers and they kinda ram into one another? [ she sets each glass into its proper place and sticks a straw in each -- only now and then offering simple eye contact to the girl.
and slightly less simple eye contact to horner. ]

[ we don't go too far; we don't hurt each other. and in the moment she thought it, she understood it as an approximate truth. horner rarely dishes out what she can't take, and buffy's retorts are borderline fangless -- built on strawmen and exaggerations. ]
