It was hard not to think of Willow in the innocent way. That was what she had been for so long. He really didn't *want* to think of when he had been afraid of her. Her throwing him up to the ceiling and unceremoniously dropping him back on the floor. It had been so hard for him to treat her like the enemy during all of that. A large part of him just wanted to pretend that didn't happen.
Of course, that wasn't going to work. Willow was a different person from the teenager who came into his library and 'borrowed' magical books a little ahead of her expertise. She obviously wasn't looking for a part on the head at the moment. "I don't think that you can't do magic anymore, Willow," he said when she stopped talking. "Someone may be blocking you from doing magic, though."
"Start by telling me more about when you tried to re-ensoul Angel," he said to her. He needed to get her more focused and not panicking at the moment. "Did you feel anything different when you tried, or was it just completely nothing?" He wasn't one-hundred percent sure how to phrase his question. "Did anything strange happen before you tried to put his soul back, other than the fact that he lost his soul to begin with?"
Giles wondered how he lost his soul in the first place. Did him and Buffy...again? Did someone cast a spell on him, or did he find some happiness with someone else? The last idea probably would have been the least pleasing off all, especially to Buffy. Not that it was all that pleasant to Giles, either. They really should find a way to anchor his soul to him so they wouldn't have to deal with Angelus ever again. Maybe once they get Willow's powers back to normal, he can have her start work on that.
