Summary: Michael mistakens Buffy’s intentions.

Note: I've only read through book 5 - Death Masks. This now officially takes place after that book. Please don't mention things that happen in later books, I'd like to be surprised when I read them. Plus, it means there may be contradictions to what was written later in the books.

Fifth in "Damsel Drama". Previous parts can be found here, here, here, and here.

Michael couldn’t have been more pleased by how the meeting with Buffy was progressing. While he’d hoped to meet a slayer, he’d never truly believed that the mystical warrior would join forces with the Knights again, let alone seek them out. Buffy was warm and friendly and he began to look forward to working with her.

“So when shall we begin our work together?” He asked, sensing Buffy was ready to end the meeting.

“Excuse me?” She asked, a little bewildered.

“That is why you were looking for me, isn’t it? To rejoin our forces?”

“Umm, not exactly. It’s not even prophecy related,” she said with a wince. “We just wanted to touch base with all three Knights in case we needed to work together in the future.”

Michael’s face fell. “Oh,” he said with sudden understanding.

“You wouldn’t mind pointing me in the direction of the other two, would ya?” She asked hesitantly.

“I’m afraid I can only provide an introduction to one other Knight - Sanya. At the moment we're one short. Harry is the current guardian of Fidelacchius until he finds the rightful weilder.”

“Harry? How will he know who to give it to?”

“He’ll just know.”
