[Nanao knew precisely where to put at least half of the blame.]
I'm sure my Captain was involved too. He keeps on telling me that I need to go out more, get involved, go partying, when I'd really rather be at home with a good book. Arranging a date for me with somebody is just the sort of thing he'd do.
[Nanao does consider it for a moment, but hopefully not too obviously.]
But that would probably mean that both our - er, evil geniuses - try to do something like this again. We might as well at least have a drink or a meal together.
[And he flags down a server.] Although, from the sounds of it, if we're going to discuss our respective colleagues and their insufferable behavior, we might as well get a hotel room.
[...did he just say that? Giles blushes slightly, takes off his glasses, and starts cleaning them.]
Giles was going to have words with Buffy tomorrow. Of all the ridiculous stunts she'd pulled, of all the way she'd messed with his life...
...this had to take the cake.
Giles was only here to apologize to whoever she'd found for him, say that they were wasting their time, and go home. But he was waiting.]

I beg your pardon. Would you be Giles-san?
[Her Captain had set this up for her. Meet more people, have fun, Nanao-chan! Bah.]

Y-Yes. Um. That's me.
And you're...Nanao, yes?

I'm sorry if you've been waiting. Would you be kind enough to join me?
[Just because this had been set up didn't mean she had to be rude, after all.]

[And he'll take a seat across from her.]
...sorry about this.

[She adjusts her glasses nervously.]
I mean, this wasn't my idea, and while it's very good of you to have turned up for something like this, it's really not so much my sort of thing...

[Nanao thought back to the incident.]
She was - um, bouncy. Persuasive. Vigorous.

[he smiles in sympathy, despite himself.]
If you wanted to leave, I assure you I wouldn't be offended.

...but doing so would probably take as much time as it would to have a meal. Your point is taken.

Well, then... I'm sure we can find something to discuss, even if it's only the managing behavior of our friends. Shall we?

[She gives him a long stare.]
[She decides to give him the benefit of the doubt.]
Probably as long as we avoid too many oaths and curses and don't wave our hands too dramatically, we should be safe enough.
