Drabble - Catharsis

Title: Catharsis
Author: [livejournal.com profile] littleotter73
Characters: Giles, Quentin Travers
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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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. :)
