At Mister Giles' remark about public places, Wesley immediately went on the defensive. They certainly were not in a public place as the gallery was closed, and he had made sure that no one was around. Besides that, just what exactly was he trying to imply about him being Roger Wyndam-Pryce's son with his tone? From what his father had said, this man certainly had no room to be talking about the standards of Council members ( ... )

Giles stepped into his office and over to his desk before leaning against the edge of it. When Wesley didn't walk all the way in, and just stood there, Giles had to resist the urge to throttle him. He was Roger's offspring all right - even had the air of thinking he was superior around him. The apple didn't seem to fall far from the tree, and Giles was going to treat the younger Wyndam-Pryce much like he treated Roger ( ... )

Wesley was definitely starting to understand why the Council preferred that Mister Giles didn't actually work at the Council headquarters unless he was needed. He couldn't imagine anyone speaking about it the way they did. And he couldn't imagine keeping the board waiting the way Giles seemed wont to do ( ... )

Giles started to take notes on what he thought the demon clan was using. When he heard the door open, he looked up to see Wesley enter. He lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed by what William had said just moments before. When the other man asked to see the folder, Giles picked it up and handed it over. "It's an Otelak clan. They're using some sort of magic to open portals to other dimensions. Supposedly the Council is afraid they're going to use said magic on a Hellmouth," he explained before he went back to his notes ( ... )

Flipping over the folder, Wesley nodded as he read over the information inside as Giles explained. It seemed fairly straightforward enough - use the information about the kind of portals being opened and the way they were to track down the sort of magic that they were employing. That would give them a clue as to what their purpose seemed to be ( ... )

As Wesley spoke, Giles raised his eyebrows. Of course Wesley wouldn't question the Council's motives. He was probably taught to believe everything the Council said. They could tell the boy the sky was purple and he was eagerly agree with them, even as he was looking up at the blue sky. It saddened Giles to know so many brilliant minds were being wasted. The Council would always be set in their ways ( ... )

Had Giles even listened to what he had said? Or did he think that because he was fairly young and Roger Wyndam-Pryce's son that his thoughts were worth anything. If was obvious that he hated his father, so he was fairly sure that he was using that as an excuse not to listen to him either ( ... )

When Wesley left the room, Giles kneeled before the fireplace and placed some kindling in it before placing a few logs on top of it. With the fireplace lighter, he lit the newspaper at the bottom and waited until it was slowly burning. He stood up in time to see Wesley walk back him. He gave him a smile, happy to see he wasn't shivering anymore ( ... )

Between the scotch and the fire that Giles had built, Wesley was definitely starting to feel better. He hadn't known what he had been doing when he left the Council, but know he was rather glad that he had ended up at the museum now. Talking to Giles had helped immensely, knowing that someone else had gone through the same shock and that he wasn't alone ( ... )

As Wesley said how he hadn't had much to eat that day, Giles made the decision to call for Chinese. He hadn't ate much either and his stomach was started to burn from the scotch he'd just consumed. He was about to go over to the phone and fetch a menu when Wesley asked his question. Furrowing his brow, he thought it over for a moment before answering ( ... )

Travers had been the only Chair that Wesley had ever actually known in terms of working at the Council. He had taken over several years before when the previous Chair had been killed. All the other Chairs, Wesley had only heard about through stories and records ( ... )
