Henry began making mental notes. He was hoping never to need the information, but he reckoned he'd better commit it to memory in case. Especially because, if it was in his head, that meant it was in Noah's head, too, and Henry wanted the kid to have every piece of defensive information possible. Noah was so slight that Henry sometimes wondered how he didn't blow away in a strong wind. Him facing a vampire was something Henry couldn't quite imagine.
"So what your telling me is that, like us, demons, vampires, things of that sort aren't always evil- they have a choice." Henry shook his head disbelievingly. "Something tells me they still don't settle down into quiet suburban life very often, heh?"
Henry opened the shed, walked to the back and lugged out one of the tires he figured were a good match for Xander's vehicle. "Why don't you get this one in the Hummer. I just want to check in with Noah." He started walking towards the house next door because the truth was, Xander's assessment aside, Henry didn't like the idea of Noah alone with a stranger for longer than he had to be.
Xander nodded and let Henry go off to check on things inside while he loaded the Hummer. Henry reminded him a bit of Giles, in a less stuffy, less uptight, less British way. Of course, in recent years Giles was all about the less stuffy, but the memories of the polished stuttering librarian always remained.
Going down that road brought to mind all sorts of memories and Xander wasn't in the mood to deal with them. Willow was alive and that was good enough for now. He'd think about and worry about everyone else later.
