"You want me to take her where?" Spike asked incredulously.

Angel handed him the tickets. "Go see our in-house tailor. Neither of you has suitable clothes for this."

At least they had decent seats, Spike thought that night. She appeared fascinated by the performers on the stage. At intermission, he said, "Enjoyin' yourself, Bluebird?"

"They are so slender. I could shatter their spines with a snap of my fingers, but they are also strong. Their grace is pleasing to my eye."

Spike hated admitting it, but Angel was right. Bringing Illyria to the ballet had been a good idea.

Cool idea! And very, very in character Illyria. How do you manage her voice so well? :)

Well, you know, I thought about him taking her to a nightclub, but the idea of Illyria out on the dance floor was giggleworthy, so I went a different way with it. :-)

I may still do the nightclub thing. [evil grin] She could do some real damage in a mosh pit....
