"My birthday, year, whatever," *he said flatly.*
"Buffy, I--I'm here to train Potentials..." *he said, his voice going softer. Still, he didn't look away, even if he knew how much this truth might hurt her.* "You can't help these people."

*Buffy's eyes widened as she gazed up at him.*
"What do you mean?" *she asked, her voice teetering between tremulous and angry.*

"Buffy you KNOW how to Council feels about--about this," *he said, glancing at Spike again. His own voice shook slightly, but he said what he had to.* "I'm here for a Slayer...and it's not you."

*Okay then. Anger it was.*
"About what? There's nothing going on." *Her hazel eyes blazed.* "And since when do you care what the Council thinks?"

"Don't lie to me, Buffy. You've become unaccountable. There's a need in this city and...and I don't think I would trust you to meet it...not anymore."

*Buffy saw red.*
"When have I ever been untrustworthy?" *Buffy demanded.* "You don't know anything! You just got here! And suddenly I'm all, like, expendable?"
*She stepped back, throwing up her hands.*
"You're not Giles," *she said.* "You can't be. Giles always believed in me, even when we disagreed."

"You're being irrational," *he sighed, rubbing his forehead.* "I've had to consider the well-being of others when the decision was made to find and train a new Slayer."

"But it makes no sense!" *Buffy said.* "I wake up back in time, Spike shows up and tells me all kinds of stuff that happened after I left, and here you are saying I'm not taking care of Victorian Paris. Like that was even my job!"

Buffy!" *said Giles sharply, taking her by the shoulders and holding her still so he could look into her eyes.* "You've been gone for ten years. Absent. There has been no Slaying. We are up to our balls in vampires, here!"

*Spike quietly wondered what version of Giles this was and how much he hated him. That could be...awkward. So he spent his time trying to not draw too much attention as he perused the shelves.*

*Buffy's mouth fell open.
Ten years.*
Ten years? *she repeated. Her face screwed up.*
"Wait. Balls?"

"I do not need to hear about any part of your anatomy. Or that you have one," *Buffy said. She struggled back to the point.* "But... Ten years."

"Care to explain? And even if you can't, the least you could do is not blame me or anyone for trying to move on."

*Buffy crossed her arms.*
"Well it seemed more like ten minutes," *she said.* "But last thing I remember is jumping after Spike and landing... er, in his head. Like, his mind."
