"Either way, Giles had appreciated the company, I'm sure."

"What," Dawn spat. "Are you insinuating?"

"Never mind, child. Just the musings of an old man."

 

"I know what you are doing, you know. I am not stupid and I am not a child!" she barked. "You tried to do it before, you... jerk!"

Travers turned towards the girl. "Yes," he admitted. "Because he failed."

"Giles is the best Watcher ever and if you didn't hide away in stuff old England, you would know that!"

"Good day, Miss Summers."

"They aren't afraid of you," she declared, chin raised.

"We shall see."

Last Line: He wasn't very convincing
A/N: A little post-series angst.

"He wasn't very convincing, that's what Dawn said anyway," Buffy stated sadly as she sat down next to Willow and rested her head against her shoulder. "I mean, even I can take a hint."

Willow put her arm around her. "I am sure she wants to come, Buff, but you know... it's complicated," she explained, taking Buffy's hand in hers. "Maybe if you called him, gave him a little pout, he'll come running like old times. Watcher's Pet and all?"

"I dunno, Wil, we're not those people anymore." She stared out the window, taking in the Roman sunset. "Not for years."
