"I like red meat," Wesley said, focusing more intently on a few paragraphs for a moment. "Although I suppose it's rather outdated to admit that in California at the current time. I'm sure I'm meant to be proclaiming my love of broiled fish and foreign vegetables that have been shredded into matchsticks."

"Red meat is good, the bloodier the better." Spike skipped quickly over the first few sections of his book. "All the more reason to get out of this state. Not to mention the threat of being chased by an angry mob every time you light up in public."

"All right." Spike was strongly tempted to follow, but he knew that the research was more important, so he stayed where he was. He managed to skim another page before he got up anyway. "How does it look?" he asked when he joined Wesley in the kitchen.

Spike knew that Wesley wouldn't insist that they both stay, but there was no question in his mind that if Wesley got it into his head that it was best for him to remain at Wolfram and Hart with his friends he'd let Spike leave without him. "If you'd rather be here, I'll deal with it. There are worse places to be."

"If you're not then you shouldn't be worried," Spike said lightly. He nodded at Wesley's soup. "Are you planning on eating that anytime today?"
