Rating: FRT
Setting: Season 6, after Giles returns home after Buffy’s death
Word Count: 100
A/N: Took up the last line challenge from feliciacraft

“What does the Slayerless Watcher watch, hmm?” Quentin Travers gloated. “I thought you should know, Rupert, your Slayer will not appear on The Wall of Honour.”

Giles defiantly met the malicious gaze of his superior. “You must be joking! Buffy saved the world... again! She faced a god and defeated her!”

“She should’ve sacrificed the Key! Now we have one dead Slayer and one languishing in prison. The world is left without a champion. Always the selfish bitch!”

Without a moment’s hesitation Giles unleashed his emotions - anger, grief, and overwhelming pride for his Slayer. The bastard never saw it coming.

Oh Quentin so deserves it! *POW* Right in the kisser! Uh, or whatever is the British equivalent of that slang.

For those in the comm on that side of the pond, would you say "right in the clock"? "Right in the dial"? (Or are you just shaking your head with disaproval, muttering, "Violent Americans..."? ;)

I don't know. I can't think what the equivalent would be. 'Stitch that!' Is the only sort of gloating I can think of.

*Nods and looks up the phrase. Gets distracted by a full page of Malcolm Tucker quotes.*

I think that works. :)

[littleotter73]

He so does! And yeah, Giles let him have it. Rightly so!

Good for Rupert. Travers totally deserves to get slugged.

[littleotter73]

Totally!

[il_mio_capitano]

He may not have seen it coming, but the bastard definitely asked for it!

[littleotter73]

He so did! I really don't like that guy!

Any day in which Travers gets smacked down is a good day. :)

[littleotter73]

Can we do it again today, then? Please? ;)
