At first, Xander frowned as he searched his brain for who Spike was referring to, since he hoped he would have been told if Giles was on the island. Then he remembered Wesley, who he too hadn't seen anytime lately. He sighed. "Oh. Right. I forgot about him."

"You...you'll be around right?" It was the closest Xander could get to asking if they would still be friends. He wasn't thinking rationally at the moment but at least he had enough thought not to sound completely pathetic.
