Why are you defendin' Giles? From thepowerplayers
Stewin’, still, I begrudgingly went up to my room, not pullin’ Angel to come along with me, but knowing that he is behind me.
I can’t believe him. Giles all but blamed him for all of the deaths and Angel didn’t even stand up for himself. He basically just let me do it. It was so obvious. I’m goin’ off on Giles and he leads us into the room where all of the bodies were being prepared for burial. I knew right away that Giles was tryin’ to get a mental advantage there, and Angel wasn’t stupid, so he had to know it too and yet, he let Giles have his way.
I pushed my door open. I had one of the big rooms, as did Buffy and Giles, of course, and it was cool and all that, rent free and what not, but this wasn’t where I wanted to be right now. London could be a kicker at times, hell yeah, but I would have preferred to stay in Los Angeles, personally, which was another thing that we hadn’t discussed and was another thing that Angel wasn’t bein’ forthcoming about; he was gonna try to take down Wolfram and Hart London, just like he did Los Angeles, only this time, I was guessin’ and he had to know that he wouldn’t be takin’ down from the inside this time around.
He followed me in and I tossed my things on the bed and looked at him.
On the bed that my clothes now sat in bags, he and I should have been havin’ us a real good time and instead, we had to talk about the pair that I knew Angel had, not workin’ downstairs.
“Angel, what the hell was that down there? You know Giles was only ridin’ you because of what you did to Jenny Calendar back in the day. That’s over and that wasn’t you who did that. What you did was your right and your plan at getting’ at the bad guys from the inside was the best way to get to them. You can’t be lettin’ Giles blame you for the deaths of the slayers and it can’t be made simpler to understand then that. You didn’t ask for the Council’s help and you should definitely let Giles know that he has a stake rammed up his English Channel just like Wes used to have. Giles did this, not you, and not me and B’. It was all Giles and probably really can’t even be blamed on Xander and Andrew. I know that I hit Xander, but who I should go hit is Giles and while I’m doin’ it, you should to…”
I am irritated that I’m arguin’ with Angel and it’s all because of Giles. The restraint that I showed downstairs now over, I have decided to go give Giles some punishment of the non-verbal kind, only on the way, Angel grabs my arm and pulls me back in the room.
My reflex was to take a swing at him, but the old me would have done that and I held it in check.
“What the hell, Angel? Now you’re defending Giles?”
