[Apparently Riley's taken the time to set up his device so that he can stand a few feet away from it and cross his arms. It's the easiest way to look intimidating. On his face is one of the most disapproving looks he can muster. Spike might recognize it.]

I'm thinking it's  time for some answers. I don’t know what’s going on or who’s done this but I’ll find out soon enough. And if I find out it’s you guys… there’s gonna be hell to pay. Especially if you’ve hurt anyone.

... Riley?!

[commandery]

... Buffy?!

[His arms come uncrossed pretty quick. Shit like that happens when you're startled. That doesn't stop his jaw from working though.]

They got you too, huh?

[slay]

You -- Buh -- They? ... Huh? [ all said very much in the tone of MY HAT HAS A COW. after a beat; ] You're taking this really well.

[commandery]

[Oh... maybe it wasn't the Initiative that did this. Whatever, jury's still out.]

You think so? I actually considered toning it down.

[slay]

It's just what with the anger instead of panic and confusion. Very little "where am I, how's this possible" and much more ... Threat.

[commandery]

I was saving that conversation for Giles.

[slay]

You ... know Giles. [ ... what the fuck is going on. ]

[coy]

Do you get kidnapped a lot? [Because she can sympathize.]

[commandery]

... not exactly. [He's usually the one doing the kidnapping... damn demons and their evil... demon...ness.]

[coy]

You don't seem really surprised or freaked out. Those are the usual reactions.

[commandery]

[He nods as he takes that in.] I'll be sure to remember that next time.

[coy]

Sorry, I didn't mean that you were doing it wrong or-- [Whatever] I'm Caroline Forbes.

[commandery]

[He closes his eyes as a pained look comes briefly to his face.]

I'm sorry. I'm just a little irritated is all. My name's Riley Finn.

[coy]

See? Totally normal reaction! I was pissed off too. [She offers a smile?] It's nice to meet you minus the whole... kidnapping thing.

Oh, humans are so cute when they try to be intimidating. Like overgrown puppy dogs.

[commandery]

[And somehow the look on his face turns into even more of a scowl.]

What are you doing here?

[bigbad]

[....sorry bro, he has zero clues as to who you are.]

Taking the next best thing to a tropical vacation. Why?

be prepared... I will only use this icon with Spike.

[commandery]

[Oh yeah? Well he knows all about you and what you're up to pal so... yeah. Take that.]

Shouldn't you be moping in a crypt somewhere?

aksjdf look it's appropriate

[bigbad]

Shouldn't you be eating wheaties and doing push-ups?

IT IS

[commandery]

[... how's he know about the wheaties and push-ups? STALKER.]

Just watch yourself, Spike.

[bigbad]

...How do you know my name?

[video]

[knowsaboutviscera]

... Riley. You're here.

[Said very much in the tone of "Why do I have to be kidnapped with him?" orz sorry she just doesn't like you all that much.]

[commandery]

[Oh, it doesn't even phase him. What DOES phase him though is the fact Dawn's here too but he keeps a lid on that. Instead he shows his knack for saying just the right thing...]

Hey, kid. You okay?

And then I wrote the wrong tag. /headdesk

[knowsaboutviscera]

[Oh Riley, already making yourself unloved by Dawns. She doesn't comment this time, though. Just rolls her eyes.]

I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

I SEE NOTHING

[commandery]

You're welcome.

[The knowing smile comes more from his eyes than his lips because he's so good at being the annoying adult. His concern was pretty genuine though.]

I'm fine, by the way.
