He's not being avoidy. Much. [Semi-Open]

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

Really he isn't. It's not like he was necessarily avoiding places like the Media Library or the Winchester House. Just crazy people who are clearly following him way too closely would suggest such an idea.

So Sam knows, and well while it wasn't an out and out no.... It wasn't a yes either. Just a maybe. Maybe was still iffy, he'd been in the maybe category before. For a long time, he wanted to think Buffy considered him a maybe until Cordelia came along and for a while that didn't matter. Though even Anya thought he still kept an old flame for the Slayer.

Man, what would she say now? Would she think Willow corrupted him with her gayness, or figure it was probably always a possibility. (And not like Will really 'gayed' him up like he asked her too? Then again maybe he should have guessed something with how Larry spoke with him, and how he never could really correct the poor guy. Even Andrew made a few comments here and there how he probably batted for both teams.) Great, he's yammering in his head. Again. He should go for a walk. In the City.

Or maybe he'll stay in his shop. Just a little longer.

The Chancellor knocked at the door.

Xander, thinking it was Sam, nearly dropped his sander, but recovered quickly. He set it down, dusted his hands off, and yelled, "We're open."

The Chancellor, all nearly-nine-feet of him, comes in. "Excuse me, Mr. Harris. I know little of how craftsmen here operate. I wished to speak to you about swine troughs."

Xander looked up and up with his eye, right, he ran into him at that hardware store in XaXing.

"Ok, how many you need, and what dimensions we looking at? I didn't see how big they like their hogs in XaXing."

"At least two, of some six feet in length; they are fairly large. A particularly sturdy wood would be preferred as well. They are somewhat more... energetic than the standard."

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

Xander listened to that, making some mental notes.

"Yeah, I got some hardwood here that just might work for it." He headed to the back, and brought out a board that resembled mahogany.

"What do you think?"

[ternaui.livejournal.com]

"That appears quite satisfactory." A fangy smile as he looks it over.

"Do you like ice cream, Mr. Harris?"

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

"Good and uh yeah who doesn't? It's one of the best inventions on Earth. But what that got to do with hog troughs?"

[ternaui.livejournal.com]

"The relation between the two is to know if you, who are assisting with the hog troughs, would be interested in receiving a certain degree of priority when I make ice cream. I prefer it plain, but a strawberry variety may be made as well."

Xander blinked his eye at that, and then nodded eagerly, "Oh sure, hey, if you ever get chocolate that would be great. But strawberry, strawberry works, thanks."

[ternaui.livejournal.com]

"...Chocolate?" The Chancellor is confused. "What is that?"

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

Xander's eye widened, and he briefly stared in shock. He then shook his head.

"Oh you poor poor deprived, uh... you. Don't tell me the creamy chocolately goodness that is chocolate doesn't exist in your world?"

Time for an intervention and education here!

"If it is an Earth food that is not based off of something available to an English soldier or an English lady by AD 1450, I am afraid I have never had it."

A small smile. "And we prefer 'Dragons,' if you wish terminology."
