Waking Up

Giles raised his head and blinked. He had fallen asleep researching again. The two shots of whisky hadn't hurt either. The Watcher stood up and stretched. He needed a shower, food, coffee or tea and a focus other than the books.

He had always thought settling in among books and manuscripts to focus on his planned Codex of Demons would satisfy him after being a field Watcher.

now Giles knew he was wrong. He missed working closely with Buffy and the others and now... none of them were close any longer and the Watcher was frustrated. Perhaps becoming a hunter again was an option but not a wise one at his age. He certainly didn't recover from being bashed as quickly.
