(Out of Milliways: Time to do a little legwork.)

Andrew's in the bar, chewing on a piece of beef jerky (teriyaki-flavored, very tasty) and pondering. And intermittently scribbling in his notebook.

Botherable.

Dr. Horrible can never resist peeking over peoples' shoulders when they're scribbling.

Consequently, he's currently peeking over Andrew's shoulder, doing a horrible job at being inconspicuous.

[stilljustandrew]

Assuming he can decipher Andrew's handwriting, he'll read:

Sealing off whole home dimension: why? And how?

And why send assassins after someone who's already exiled?

[laundry_buddy]

Not even getting past the 'decipher' stage, Dr. Horrible gives up.

"Good afternoon."

[stilljustandrew]

He glances up. "--oh! Hey! Hi."

Beat.

"...Dr. Horrible, I presume."

Giles is, oddly enough, sitting nearby and also making notes, although his are from an old book.

Andrew may or may not recognize him from the Sunnydale Days. If nothing else, the book on banishing demons in the stack next to him might catch his notice.

[stilljustandrew]

Oh, he definitely recognizes him. In Andrew's day, Giles is the head of the New Watchers' Council (and therefore at least nominally his boss).

He therefore gets a cheerful "Oh, hey Mr. Giles," and a wave.

Giles slowly lowers his pen and rubs his temple. "I'm getting more than a little tired of this 'timeline' business," he mutters under his breath.

And then he looks up and examines Andrew. Andrew may notice Giles looks... oh, about a decade younger than he does right now (even if he did age nicely). "...Forgive me for asking, but who are you?" After a moment he adds almost apologetically, "I'm, ah, from early 1997, so I do apologize if I seem rude."

"-- Oh! Uh. Yeah, that's ... a long time ago for me and we haven't really met yet. Um, except I'm in the school library sometimes? But you always glare a lot and make harrumphing noises when kids stay there too long, so I always used to just check stuff out in a hurry and go read somewhere else. Which, of course now I know that's 'cause you were using the library as Slayer-training HQ, so, good call there."

Beat.

"And possibly I shouldn't tell you who I am, 'cause then you'll be looking for me and it could screw things up later."
