"...you're not firing me, are you?" *she asked cautiously as she sat down.*

"Oh, no! Of course not. Er...it's just that I--well, I'd like to offer you a promotion of sorts."
*Valerie looked at him uncertainly. He leaned forward slightly.*
"Do you know what a Slayer is, Valerie?"

"Yes. Rigorously. Six days a week. Here. There's an open space in the basement archives where I've set things up and we'll not be disturbed."

"I can find someone else, don't worry. Valerie, the need for a Slayer is more pressing at the moment than the need for a smart-mouth manning the front desk."

*She thought about it for a long while. At last she looked up and nodded.*
"I'll do it. There's just one thing, Monsieur Giles--"

"It's for a friend. Friends. They can't have kids, and...well, they want one."

*Giles sighed.*
"We'll see. We'll work around it. In the mean time, I want you ready, in the basement at 9 every morning except Sundays. Wear comfortable clothes."
*He glanced at her long skirt.*
"Perhaps even trousers. Breeches. Whatever. Something for easy movement. And comfortable shoes."

*Valerie nodded.*
"Very well."
*The next day, a horse-faced girl named Danielle stood behind the counter, picking at a scabby spot on her chin.*
Haha Valmont gets to deal with Pizzaface.
