Drabble
Inspired by a line in a Preston Sturges film
Giles
Mid S5, although perhaps S4 might work
Xander had only left for a short time. To get coffee. There are coffee shops on every other street corner in this country. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, to inspire such a grotesque outpouring of emotion.
Not that there normally is.
No time for this. Research still is still required.
Giles pulls his silk handkerchief from his pocket, then reaches for his glasses.
“If you keep them on, Giles, you might learn something.”
He turns toward the voice. A blur of white teeth appears under the blur of red hair.
Flanked by these children. Surrounded. Defeated. He continues to clean.
