It wasn't specifically from your post, your post just reminded me
Oh, well, then. I'm no longer intrigued. (Kidding)
I think it was "to", too, bt.
ETA: And I love the extended penmanship convo.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm pretty sure it was not unpleasant to her eyes.
I think you are right. As it was said, I read it as Illyria saying she enjoyed Gunn's physical appearance.

jengod, I didn't see that Jess linked hers. I did read that one, and it is great and very detailed. There are a few cut lines, but I just noted them a couple of posts ago, and Jess mentions tells what got cut in this entry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just so everyone knows, I am turning BRIGHT RED by the fact that my Livejournal has hijacked the thread. I didn't mean to, honest!

I'm just saying, every time we've seen a prophecy, they've come true. I agree it could refer to Spike or some as-yet unsouled vampire. When people try to mess with prophecies, it never works.
I'm with Dana. Whenever anyone tries to subvert a prophecy, either in history or Angel/buffy canon, it comes true anyway. And, often, the attempt to subvert the prophecy causes it to happen.

Ack, that pronoun really changes the subtext. Can someone verify this line from the script?

Script says: "Try not to die. You are not unpleasant to my eyes."

Well that changes everything. I just didn't get that Illyria thinks Gunn is good-looking vibe. I'll have to rewatch.

Don't let it trouble your 'shippy little heart Wolfram, she said it the way she'd say a flower was pretty. Now given she has Fred's memories, she does know just how pretty Gunn is--the kind of pretty FFANG just knows is/was under all those layers, somewhere, but...

Besides the actual words, it wasn't anything in how Illyria said it that really gave me the vibe, I think. It was more Gunn's amused silent beat before he said anything. Tiny, but there. To me, a cute, not really significant touch.
Edited to say that I'm thinking of Illy in more of an Anya way in this scene. In the same way that Anya would say something along the lines of "I like your penis." to Xander. Such a nice, uncensored voice.
