Drabbles

Here's the first of two Giles drabbles. This one's set during early season 1, and I'm thinking of expanding it into a longer fic.

Beginnings



Giles walked into the library. It was smaller than he’d hoped, but adequate for a high school library. His own books on the occult should be arriving soon.
He wasn’t in Sunnydale to be a librarian. That was just an excuse. The Watchers’ Council had sent him here to work with the Slayer, one Buffy Summers. Giles wondered what she’d be like.
Giles wandered the stacks. Finding a few books out of order, he fussily rearranged them.
Principal Flutie entered.
“Mr. Giles,” he said, “a package for you.”
Giles’ eyes lit up.
“Ooh.“
It was the Time-Life series he’d ordered.
