For a moment he paces the room. "If you and him weren't..." He pauses, decides to redirect that statement before he tells her he wouldn't mind being with her again if she weren't with someone else. "To him it seemed like just a you and him thing."

He stops pacing and looks over to her to see her reaction to that. She doesn't seem to be the type to step out on her man, but who knows? He's been wrong about people before. "The bots are against... explorin'?" Sex. He means sex. Cause no bots were rushing in to stop him and Buffy when they were going at it in the hallways.
