at his question Buffy makes a deliberate show of looking around for who he's talking to. after all he has to be talking to someone else. he can't possibly think she did it. right? turning back to him it's clear by how hard he's staring at her that, oh no, he totally thinks she did it. )

Not really. Especially since that wasn't an attempt to apologize in the first place. Given the fact I didn't do it. ( the proof is in the pudding.better yet, the dry hands she's holding up in show. ) The other teenagers who did scadaddled after you decided to wig out over a harmless snowball fight.

But seriously, no one's saying it's not. It might be better if you don't go snapping at everyone, though. Especially considering... ( she gestures to his neck. unlike his, her own is line free. ) From what I've witnessed so far the locals take the rules way seriously. So try and chill a little, okay? Besides, it was harmless fun. ( a beat. ) You do know what fun is, don't you?
