"Sorry, I'm tired. I am pretty bloody excited, I could skip for joy," Spike tried for his benefit, smiling in a rather mocking sense but there was at least a degree of humour and a smile there. He held out his hand and caught the gift, looking it over curiously. It was pretty cool actually, he studied it for a few moments before shaking the water with a slightly amused smile. "Emergency supply of holy water? How romantic. I love it."

With a playful raise of his eyebrows, he put it around his neck and leaned back on the bench, trying to look more cocky and amused than sleep deprived and scared. "Fortunately I got no shortage of crosses. I'll have to root through my drawer tonight and find one. I could only find my skull one."

He pulled the upside down cross with a skull free from behind his shirt, not really good for repelling vampires but it was all he could get on short notice. He had been too busy sitting in the corner with his knife last night, no time to hunt for crosses.
