On the other hand, Giles and Lilith had stayed to help Buffy, Giles through research and Lilith through, well, she's not sure either. All that she knows is that she'll kill anyone for Buffy—maybe not anyone because she's supposed to have a moral code now, so just any soulless monster that comes after Buffy.
      Lilith really hopes Buffy doesn't find out about her slip from last night, and it's terrible enough for her that Spike keeps giving her that look like he might just tell on her.
      Of course he wouldn't think she's got what it takes to side with the Slayer, she doesn't think she does either. Playing at being hero is a lot harder than Buffy and her friends make it seem. 
      He tries to say something along the lines of late-night adventures, it makes Lilith motion her hand across her throat, telling him to cut it. Buffy hears him, looks in between them and this secretive communication they have going on, so she gets different ideas of what these late-night adventures could be. 
      Giles and Buffy are setting up the table for dinner while Lilith is sitting on the table. Buffy has to clear her throat for her to move, and Lilith does so with a huff. Buffy thinks of telling her that if she wants to stay for dinner, then she should help, but Spike keeps whining about when he's getting fed that it pushes the thought out of her mind. 
      "You know what happens to vampires who don't get to feed?" Spike persists.
      "I always wondered that actually," says Giles.
      "Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries, only not half as funny." 
      Giles looks appalled and Lilith laughs. 
      Buffy tells him, "You can have gravy. That has blood in it, right?"
      "You know what else has blood in it?" says Spike. "Blood."
      Buffy snaps and slams the fork she was about to set on the table. "Do I have to gag you? Because I am not gonna listen to you whine all the way through my dinner. It's gonna be a nice, quiet, civilized—"
      Buffy speaks too soon because all of a sudden an arrow zooms past the window and impales itself on the dinner table. 
      Lilith sighs. "You had to jinx it."
      They look up to where the arrow came from, the leader of the ghost warriors has poised himself by Giles second floor's window. He's ready to nock another arrow, the slayer protests.
      "You, listen," Buffy starts, "Maybe I wasn't clear before about how terrible we all feel 'cause we are trying to help."
      The ghost does not care for excuses, he shoots another arrow at Buffy. 
      Buffy still tries to make amends, Giles realizes sooner than her that the ghost won't have his mind changed. As arrows keep flying by and new ghosts appear, he yells for all of them to get down. 
      Buffy and Giles crouch behind the couch. 
      Spike tries to tell them what about him since he's tied to a chair and can't very well get down when an arrow zooms right at him. It pierces his sternum, he doesn't even flinch. "Hey, watch the heart!"
