"I would think so."

And: books!

Books! Eva's good at skim-reading for bits of text that are relevant.

They can spend quite a while like this!

"You know, it occurs to me that we might find the relevant books in the ex-librarian's house..."

"… Are you planning on breaking and entering or something?"

"Does it count as breaking and entering if the owner is dead?"

"...y-yes?"

"Shush you, I'm trying to make a point here."

"I think I'm gonna agree with Willow here and say yes, but I mean, I get that it's also different because ex-demon and ex-victim-of-demon or whatever."

"As your school librarian, I must recommend against this course of action."

"And as watcher?"

Sadde giggles. "I like you."

"Part of my curriculum? Huh, what else is on it?"

"Various forms of combat, a general education in mythology and demons, how to best use different kinds of tools and weapons..."

"… Like guns or like crossbows?"

"More like crossbows, I don't think there are any known demons with a weakness to bullets. Perhaps one with a weakness to iron..."

She nods. "Anyway, should we go break and enter now, then, or…?"

"It's probably best to do that at night, and continue researching here in the meantime."

"But what about vampires?"

"You do have a Slayer now with you."

"Untrained Slayer," says the Slayer. "Who doesn't have much of an idea about actually fighting vampires on account of never having actually fought a vampire before."

"Fighting vampires is for the most part an instinct, you will find. They get an instinct for eating humans, you get an instinct for fighting them. Unless you find an experienced one or are ganged up on by several of them, it shouldn't be a problem." She reaches below her counter for a box and puts it on the counter. "Besides, we have toys."

"Oooh, toys!"

"… Toys?"

She opens the box. Stakes (very sharp ones), crossbows, a gallon of holy water, water pistols, crosses in a variety of shapes and sizes, crosses-that-are-stakes, crosses that can squirt water, crossbows that shoot tiny stakes that are shaped like crosses, crossbows that shoot tiny stakes that are shaped like crosses and also squirt water...
