Whispers from the Past (Buffy/Open)

[ripper]

Giles heaved boxes of books and magical equipment into Buffy's lounge room. Since the destruction of the Magic Shop, Giles could no longer keep his tools there. And now that they were having regular scooby meetings here, he thought it would be wise him to have them close at hand in case of an emergency.

As he carried another one box into the lounge room a book from the top fell on to the carpet.

He didn't notice that it fell. He carried away with his task. He stood up and stretched his back. He let out a sigh, he was a watcher and watcher's shouldn't have to move books...That was the slayer's job.

(OOC-He'll cast the spell when Buffy is in the room)

Buffy rushed down the stairs as she heard noise... and as she'd expected, it was Giles with more junk. She stopped at the doorway and watched with a smile.

"I wouldn't want to interrupt you're carrying, so I'll just stay out of your way." Buffy paused and noticed Giles' had dropped something. "Oh, one escaped from the box, Giles. Really gotta watch them books... they jump."

She picked up the book and handed it to Giles, who was now empty handed. "Here you go." She turned around then to look at the boxes he'd brought in, a slight frown on her face as she observed it all.

Giles turned to Buffy with a start. "Oh Buffy, you startled me" he said placing a hand on his chest. He turned to what he was doing and ignored Buffy's comment about jumping books. "Very funny Buffy" he said mindlessly.

"Hmm" he said finally turning back to Buffy when he realised what she had said. "Oh the book?" He took the book from Buffy's possession. He studied the book curiously, "I don't recognise this book" he eyed it. "Must be Willow's or Tara's."

He turned to place it into the book shelf, but before he could it glowed and went shooting out of his hand and onto the floor. It opened to a particular page.

(I'll cast the spell next post)
