[Spike... :( But he did more for her than he maybe realizes; sure, she's had a couple of instances of crying about it like a baby, but... well, there were a lot of emotions and fears surrounding all of that. Spike's immediate understanding of what she'd been saying had been terrifying, but she'd been trusting that he wouldn't judge her for it as everyone else did--and she'd been proven correct.]
Compulsion need not always be magical in nature. They used no magic save to ensure my silence, but the threat of losing him here, then going home to watch him die a second time...
It would have been easier had it been magical.
[But Spike's right. They're killing Metatron and Xaphania on the morrow, and then they'll be free of all this. Alisaie nods.]
Our odds will be better should we remain hidden from their eyes, but I cannot say I wouldn't like a rematch against the Lord Regent. Or any of the angels, really.
