"You worked at Sunnydale High? A librarian?" Her tone suggested she doubted such a thing existed. "Can you do anything else?"

Several answers came to Giles’ mind. I dabble in magic; I can do spells, nothing too deep as I find it ends in homicide. I play guitar. But he said nothing.

The woman went on talking. "Well, you're going to have to update your skills. You'll need to take some computer classes."

I can't tell you how much I giggled and then imagined his facial expressions throughout that exchange. Well done! Thanks!

Yes, I can see his face as he thinks these things, see this little adventure in my head. So Giles. Loved it. Thank you. :D

Giles the Luddite - I approve. *g*

As others have said, that little glimpse into Giles thoughts as the woman was asking about his skills made me smile like crazy.

When that lady mentioned computers I thought that Giles would rather had that snake demon try to eat him, then deal with "that useless fad" LOL! Loved it!

Giles: not really a late 20th century guy.
