Um... Excuse me, Miss Rachel Alucard ojou-sama... With all due respect, aren't there bigger concerns to be worried about here than being your entertainment?
[...Giles is suddenly feeling very, very cheered. After an endless parade of losing those he cared about...
...well, well, well. The edged glee in his voice is very much evident when he speaks. He's almost giddy. People to take his frustration out on, and who have decent taste in tea in the bargain, have been in terribly short supply.]
[Rachel, of course, is somewhat confused by this easy familiarity. She knew that other people she knew were here, but this voice was not a familiar one.]
Is that so? Might I ask how it's so "wonderful" to hear from me again when this is, as far as I am aware of, my first time here?
You might not remember that you've been here in the past...most of the villagers who go and come back don't...but I assure you, Rachel, you have been here before.
[He could guess that she didn't remember from her message. And did that sting a little? Yes. But it wasn't unexpected, and he still liked to think he knew how to talk with her.]
... then the people who've brought me here have even tampered with my memories. [Which is really messed up since OBSERVERS REMEMBER EVERYTHIIING but it's not like this whole thing wasn't weird already.]

Do you like classical music, Miss?

I'm afraid I don't listen to music all that often, but I do find it rather enjoyable compared to other types of music.

Then if it would please you, may I play a song on the piano for your entertainment?

[a pause] Yes, please do so. It's been some time since I've heard the piano.
