”Very interesting,” Giles murmured, his eyes narrowed as he finally put his glasses back on. He passingly wondered how these Sam and Dean fellows got into such a dangerous career, but perhaps that would be covered in the novel he just received. Giles understood how hard it must be for them, considering they probably had no supernatural enhancements like a Slayer did.
Becky continued, saying she had once thought such things couldn’t be real, despite her hope that they could be. Giles nodded at her anecdote, ”Sometimes it’s hard to sort out the fact from the fiction. I’ve had to explain things like vampires and demons more times than I’d like to say,” And sometimes rules changed, as well, so Giles was open to learning new interpretations of what was possible in the world. Before meeting people like Angel and Anya, Giles had always assumed demons were primarily evil at their core, but came to realize that narrow view wasn’t always true. If ensouled vampires that fought for good existed in the world, there could be any number of possible things.
However, it struck Giles as funny that Becky was willing to trust him. Perhaps it was his fatherly-like instincts, but he certainly wouldn’t have advised the young woman to go off with a stranger. Giles was certainly grateful for her eagerness to help him, but it also made him want to lecture her a bit about the dangers of the world and to be more careful. Then again, Becky seemed to be a grown woman, and her decisions were hers alone. Plus, the mission that Giles thought would be dreary could prove to be a little more bearable if he had company.
”Ah… yes.” The watcher snapped himself out of his own thoughts. Another glance at his watch told him that he didn’t have much time to waste. He looked back to Becky, ”Do you have a car? It might be easiest if I could follow you to Mystic Falls.”
