The difficult thing about this sort of fight is that essentially, all they're doing is stalling. They've got no goal to focus on beyond keeping the enemy busy and staying alive.

That latter goal is growing increasingly difficult. Already there are a few Slayers down with injuries; one of them, huddled in the scant cover of the reception desk, hasn't moved in a while.

Buffy catches Sarge's eye and signals fall back?, with a look that makes it a question.
