Xander didn't want to answer her question, mainly cos he knew it'd scare her at first, but his answer would get better. "Well no, Cordy...Cordy died, but not from the visions. Some weird god like thing made her all pregnant and sent her into comaville. She didn't die from the vision, though I heard something about her getting part Demony so she could handle them, I'm not the best source of info on this" he admitted, and it was true. Xander could research if he had to, but it was much quicker for all concerned if he didn't.
He smiled and laughed a little "No I'm dog free, wanted one for a while when I was a kid but then I thought about all that doo-doo I'd have to clean and thought better of it" he said smiling, Once he started to get to know her this Buri girl seemed kinda OK, at least once she stopped with the scary scary and actually talked to you. "So how bout you, any pets of any form, I will accept pet rocks as an answer" he said, remembering his pet rock Lizzie and how sad he had felt when it eroded away.

Buri could feel her eyes going wide. Dead? Demon? Buri was having trouble comprehending it all. She was happy when Xander began talking again. Anything to get her mind off the whole vision thing was a welcome treat. Buri thought back to her child years. She could only remember the small lizards that ran around her back yard.
“Er…well behind our trailer when I was little there were a bunch of little lizards…does that count?” She laughed.
Buri stood up and brushed herself off. She examined her chipped black nail polish from a few nights ago. She looked back at Xander.
“I will tell you when I have another…vision. Do you have a phone?” Buri asked.
If not for the fact that she was being entirely serious that would have been an amazing pickup line.

Getting of the topic of visions seemed like a good mood, Xnader didn't understand them at all so he was absolutely no help on the subject, but pets he had some idea about "I do believe that the Lizards count, but only if you named them, were these lizards named or were they nameless?" he asked, wanting to get to know this Buri. In the short time he had talked to her he had gone from hating her intencly to wanting to help, now he kinda wanted to get to be her friend if it was possible, besides the whole crazy visions and attemtped homicide she did seem pretty cool, and since when had he ever let something as trivial as 'crazy maniac' stop him from becoming their friend?
Xander smiled, in any other situation he would have considered that to be a pick-up line. Heck in any other situation he would have let himself become picked up, he did have to admit that Buri was a very attractive woman. But he knew it was so not a pick-up line, it was more a 'I'm-scared-and-need-a-friendly-ear' line. "Sure, it's 0415 XANDER. No joke, I figured it'd be easier to remember so I got it changed legally, Plus how many people can say that their phone number has their name in it" he said, he was genuinely proud of that fact and it showed in his voice. "Now don't be afriad to call me if you have another vision, or if you just need a friendly ear to babble in mine's good for that too" he said. 'OK this is starting to border into flirty territory Harris, knock it off'

Buri thought back. She didn’t think she had ever named any of them. So she supposed that meant they did not count as pets. Buri laughed and ran her fingers through her hair when Xander told her his number. It would be a lot easier for Buri to remember to.
“No I never did name the lizards, and I’ll make sure to keep the babbling in mind.”
Buri sent a wave Xander’s way and began in the direction she had come. Buri wasn’t headed anyplace in particular. She just needed some time to mull everything over. She hadn’t fully comprehended what had happened, let alone what side she was on.

Xander nodded as Buri walked off. He settled back against the tree and thought, which was something he seldom did. His thinking wasn't what he was known for but he wasn't thinking about thinky things. He thought about how he may have just saved Buffy's ass from a psychotic person and how he had started to like the psychotic person. She did seem nice, once she stopped trying to kill him. Xander wondered why he had tried to be nice to her when the first thing she did was give him a Freddy-Kruger bitch slap. He wondered why after hearing about what she wanted to do to him and his friend that he was willing to even talk to her. Then he realized it, he had seen some good in her, it was certainly there and Xander knew when he saw someone good, or had good in them. It was his power, he always found the good in people when it was there, he was a very good judge of character... usually. Something told him he would probably meet Buri again in the not to distant future, he had no idea why, call it carpenter-intuition.
