They're probably not talking about anything important.
I mean, it would be pretty unlikely. They're *guys*.
But, you know, *still*. It would be fucking
nice if they could get just
a few fucking minutes away from (the girls) it all, have a few beers, hang out,
talk about the game. Instead, somebody takes a picture.
Maybe they'll leave.
Maybe.
Joss is in the details. One of the things I
loved about S4, for all its flaws,
was the Riley/Xander -- or Riley-Xander (hey, I'm open-minded. <g>) --
sub-plot.
Played out in maybe ten minutes over the course of a few episodes, brimming
with emotion, spoken and not. Two guys that needed each other for perfectly
normal reasons. Who maybe could've understood each other, a little, if only
they'd been given the chance.
Blessed possibility.
I liked what Lar did with them. Lots.
And, for some reason, Xander wound up with a very shiny shirt.
