Watchers Rock
What can I say, the title speaks for itself!
--------------------
Kris hummed lightly as she wandered through the warehouse, she had asked where Giles was and had been told the Garden so like a sensible person, she headed out that way. She was dressed in a nike vest and a loose fitting pair of pants, her hair pulled back tightly, before she paused as her eyes came to rest on Giles. She didn't know if she should disturb him, especially as he was standing there and tending to...that so for now, she held her tongue.
Giles glanced up and smiled. "Hello, Kris. Just clearing some of the weeds out. English, we love our gardens. How are you doing?"
Kris gave him a smile in return, wandering over, letting her hands slide into her pockets," Kind of antsy, paranoid, uncomfortable and upset taboot so I'm just peachy." She smirked lightly, since coming to this place, she had found, it worked better if you were honest, and ever since Orion, she had more than appreciated honesty.
Giles raised his eyebrows and nodded to a bench. "Why paranoid, uncomfortable and upset? I won't tackle antsy since the other emotions are probably causing that."
She took a few steps, pausing by the bench before she took a seat, she shrugged her shoulders," Paranoid because every patrol I've been on, seems different, more co-ordinated on the bad guys side, but it's probably nothing. I guess it's normal considering what happened and all, uncomfortable because, I don't know, I'm not very good...at socialising and seems the people in this place change really quickly and..the people I did know, I don't know anymore. It's probably nothing again, I need to get out more." Kris trailed off before she rolled her eyes at herself."
"Never doubt these feelings," Giles said softly, continuing to pull weeds. "They help keep you alive. People do change, sometimes not for the better. And if you're noticing a change in the bad guys, you're probably not imagining it. I'll see if Willow and the others can find out anything magically and send some patrols out to pound information on the demon scene. Are you patrolling in a team?"
" Haven't really got anyone to patrol with." Kris remarked with a sheepish look on her face, it was true, the only other person, she patrolled with these days, was busy dealing with her own life.
"Hmmm, grab whoever you can for a few nights," Giles said thoughtfully. "I'll ask everyone else if they've noticed anything strange. Now, about being antsy, what do you do during the daytime besides training?"
Kris paused for thought, surf the internet, sit around and be bored, play with my cat, read a book, look for jobs before she replied," Nothing really, I just train mostly on my own."

Giles nodded. "Try and start making the group training, come find me and perhaps hang out in the Rec room and meet some of the new people?" he suggested.
" Met one or two." Kris affirmed with a nod," Met Jamie, the other day, she seems nice." Rec room? Where was that again? " Um Giles, where exactly is the Rec room?"
Giles smirked at the girl. "Consult the map, go exploring, pound on doors. Come find Jo and me, we'll play guitars and attract a crowd so you can mingle. How about being a trainer for the mundane customers?"
" Exploring? Hm I can do that, pound doors, right." Kris smirked lightly, curling her knees up to her chest," Trainer for the mundane customers sounds like fun and it would take my mind off everything and off H.." She caught herself and simply nodded her head," I also need to grab you for some Slayer, Watcher, training time. I mean training by myself is fine, but it isn't exactly productive."
"Any time, and by this afternoon I'll have a schedule for us, how's that?" Giles asked softly. "I know I've been slacking. We have got to get more Watchers. I'm thinking of asking McKenna, she's a very experienced Slayer. As for us, got time in an hour?"
" I've got nothing but time." Kris confessed with another smirk," Schedules are good, Matt's running around like a chicken with its head chopped off trying to sort something out. It's kind of funny to watch."
Giles chuckled. "It helps if you have only one Slayer. Having this large of a group, I haven't gotten it down yet either, as you can see. So, what would you like to focus on in training today and how about I go with you on patrol tonight?"
" I'd think I'd like to work on, knowing my enemy, where to hit them and how." Kris said with a glint in her eyes," As well as defence, I mean, I'm okay with the offense but I'd like to work on my defence some more." She then smiled to his suggestions," Sounds great."
Giles nodded. "Then we work on stake work, defensive hits and plan for tonight. Cover where you've been finding the strange resistance. Give me a few minutes to get the dirt out from under my nails and into training clothes. Meet you in the gym?"
Kris hopped to her feet," Definitely." She gave him a smile," Thanks, Giles."
Giles smiled and stood up, touching the monument. "I enjoy getting bashed."
