The front door opens, and in steps Andrew Wells, hands in his pockets and shoulders slightly slumped.
He's got a note to leave -- but it turns out the intended recepient is already here.
After that conversation, Andrew finds himself in a somewhat better mood -- right up until he reads the note that's been left for him since he was last here.
He's sitting at the bar reading it. Feel free to interrupt him; it's not like the words have changed since the last three times he read it.
[ETA: Mun has gone to bed. Thread is open until it scrolls off the front page.]

Everything about him is intent and focused.
"-- seems like they're not gonna be the most useful minions around here."

no subject
He keeps it level; keeps it steady; keeps it matter-of-fact.
"So I guess we better figure out who it's gonna target."
no subject
"It'll target people it thinks it can manipulate. If it's coming here after Buffy, it'll target people close to her. People she trusts."
Watch her back, the note said.

A beat. Sam meets his eyes, and doesn't look away.
"And if it's after you?"
no subject
He doesn't drop his gaze.
"Same --" He clears his throat. "Same deal. People close to me."
no subject
"It's gonna have a hard time. You know that, right?"
A beat.
"And if this is some kind of practical joke that someone's playing on you, they're gonna regret it."
no subject
"Sam ... if this is the real deal? The First is good at what it does. Believe me."
no subject
A beat, and Sam gives Andrew a wry smile and quips,
"Guess handshakes are gonna come back in style."
no subject
And then Andrew returns the smile, and holds out a hand.
