Giles rubbed his chin against Wesley's shoulder, sighing at the desultory tone of his lover's voice. He didn't want the garden to be ruined for Wesley. An idea hit him then, but he wasn't sure he could pull it off, wasn't even sure it would matter. Wesley sounded so downtrodden and Giles hated to hear that.
"Love, why don't we leave it for now? We can go to the shop, get some research done. This is going to take a while anyway and . . . I'd like to get started. I don't like having that doll here any longer than it has to be and I'd like to get it out of the house before Connor gets home."
There was more to it than that, of course. If he could get a hold of Xander and the others . . . he was sure they'd help out, maybe even get the work done today, before Wesley and he got back from the shop. He didn't have to say what had happened, just tell them something had apparently decided to run amok in the garden. On the Hellmouth, it wasn't so strange.
