Buffy was relieved, smiling brightly that Giles was totally fine with her rather questionable choice in dating. But, hey, anyone was probably better than a vampire in Giles' mind. Except maybe Wesley. Her relief was short-lived, however, when a very unexpected and not-so-welcome voice came from behind her. She scrambled to her feet, staring dumbfounded as Giles seemed perfectly happy handing Ethan a cup of tea and going about their business. Um, what the hell?
She remembered that Riley had mentioned Ethan being back and that Giles was dealing with it. But, she didn't think that meant he was living with Giles. She wasn't even registering their conversation, just staring.
"What the hell is he doing here? Why is he living with you?" she said speaking directly to Giles as her fists went into automatic balls and all cheer completely drained from her face.
