Nertz drabble

I know I said I wouldn't post anything more about the comics, but I wanted to contribute something to the Nertz To You Joss Whedon ficathon and so I ended up with three alternatives:
1) Tweak a fic I'm currently writing to address something about the comics, which feels unfair
2) Write something angsty that takes the comics halfway seriously, which feels hypocritical
3) Write something light and silly, which feels... doable. So without further ado, a drabble set in the Retreat arc, right after Twilight's attack on the monastery in Tibet takes an unexpected twist.

"Yes."

"But powerful armies don't just hand over command to -"

"Andrew put on a wrestling mask and asked nicely."

"Oh. That'd work." He sighed. "Can I talk to Buffy?"

"No. And stop sparkling."
