B-But then you'd, y-you'd have to get close enough to step on their feet. I-If they even had feet.

[It's hardly a guaranteed thing, in Tara's neck of the woods.]

...n-not that, um, monsters are real, o-or anything like that.

[Except for the bit where they so totally are, and could be lurking among the partygoers right now. In fact, this thought is worrying enough to make Tara cast a wary glance around them at the general scene. It's been so long since she's been anywhere without one of Buffy's group within calling distance.]

Or I could just take them off and throw them. Stilettos could probably be just as deadly as ninja stars, if you think about it. [...Ninja stars. Yep, just let your inner-geek shine through there, Claude.] The only problem with that is I don't think I could stand in stilettos, let alone go into battle with them.

[Idly, she plays with a strand of Tara's hair between her fingers, grinning.] They aren't? I think that depends entirely on your definition of "monster". My friend Pete could probably eat four dozen cookies in one sitting. Thus, we sometimes refer to him as the Cookie Monster. But he wouldn't attack people. He only attacks cookies. [She pauses, looking thoughtful.] And pie. But mostly cookies.
