(Illyria walks remarked by passersby down a hall at W&H)

SPIKE: Like you're not even there. World trembled before your feet once. Now... padding around a place you don't want to be in, and the rabble don't even give you so much as a polite yawn.

ILLYRIA: Do not presume I require any creature's attention.

SPIKE: Wouldn't dream of it, Blue. Still...you can't enjoy haunting this place. Less than what you were, not knowing what to do with yourself. Believe me, I've been there.

ILLYRIA: And what do you know of it?

SPIKE: Long and fascinating tale. Ghost story, in fact. Short of it is... take my advice. Get out once in a while. Before you go bats.

ILLYRIA: Out?

SPIKE: Out. Outside. That place just on the other side of the window.

ILLYRIA: I've grown wary of this world since my powers were depleted. Strange... though I've been made more human, this place remains disconcerting.

SPIKE: Yeah, well, I'm afraid that never goes away. Anyhow, I thought Wesley was giving you a primer on all things human.

ILLYRIA: He and I are no longer having intercourse.

SPIKE: Y-ah. You wh-what?

ILLYRIA: He has ceased communication with me.

SPIKE: Oh! Oh. Communi--

ILLYRIA: My recent reversion to the Burkle persona disturbed him. And he will not tell me why.

SPIKE: You don't know? You may not think you're as powerful as you were, Highness, but looking like Fred, for some of us... it's the most devastating power you have.
