Okay. Okay, I guess... I'll see you then. I'll text when I get into town, let you know I'm almost there. [ there's only the faintest hesitation in his voice, but it's not reluctance. he finds that he's actually nervous, like back when he and Buffy knew they had feelings for each other, but both had vastly different ideas of how to go about it. courting versus dating. he knows better than to remind himself he's more than a grown man, and even reminding himself that this doesn't really mean anything, that he's already dated Buffy, she's not expecting anything... does absolutely nothing to quell his nerves.
for someone who stays up all night and sleeps during the day, it's still early for him, even if it's late for humans. he calls Cordelia, letting her know he'll be gone for the night, but to call if she has a vision. both of them hope she doesn't, and he manages to successfully evade her questions on where he's going - but is sure she'll give him the third degree as soon as she can corner him later.
he stops just outside of town, near the mansion, to pull up his texts and check the address numbers Buffy sent him, and to send his own text. ]
