Aftermath.

Buffy was staying with me. It wasn't necessary and I was sure that I wasn't the ideal company at the moment, and I did want to have some privacy and some time to mourn for Jenny in my own way, but I knew that she too was mourning and that she was guilty. She hadn't killed Angelus when she had the chance and she felt guilty and blamed herself for ( Read more... )

We were getting to the early hour of the morning, and giles was still a little bit buzzed. We were both not thinking clearly, blaming ourselves for things , different things, but yet it was like we had some sort of connection ( ... )

"I might not be ready. I might be slightly enibriated, Buffy, but this is what we have to do. If we wait for Angelus, he will attack us all, one by one and he won't likely start with you. We've already seen what he is capable of. I think it's bloody safe to assume that you are the only thing that he thinks about and that it's also very much safe to assume that he won't give up until he has broken you. It may well not happen, but he won't stop until he thinks that he has and others could be dead. Xander, Willow, me, Cordelia; we are the next on his target list. If we hit him now, he can't plan to attack us, can't make any plans. You are his obsession, Buffy, because it was you, that most made him feel like a human and he will never be able to forgive you for that..or forget ( ... )

I didn't want to feel mean about this, but we had all had this conversation before. I wanted to go alone, and Giles was so hurt by what had happened to Jenny, that the rage built up inside of him and caused him to not think about what he was getting himself into ( ... )

"Buffy, I'm serious about this. I don't believe that you should go alone, much as I shouldn't have, either. I'm your watcher and I want you to listen to me on all of this. We need an abundant strategy and quick, that involves all of us. Angelus will be too difficult for you to face alone right now. We need to hit him with an assault en mass..."

I could tell that she was both sad and annoyed, probably with me, at the moment.

Hell, maybe I was too far gone currently to make any judgments? Maybe we needed to plan further and take the fight to him at another point.

"Perhaps, I just need to drink until the pain is gone and then we can prepare a strategy that will permanently thwart, Angelus."

I needed more liquor and some tranquilizers to go with it. That was becoming obvious to me, and here I was, thirty seconds ago, demanding that Buffy listen to me about the two of us going after Angel right now.
