Curses Drabble

‘Oh Dear Lord.’

‘So getting old, Giles. Don’t you know any curse words?’

He snatched his glasses off, glad to find a diversion in whatever she was saying, however fleeting it may be.

‘I could express myself i-in countless ways and several languages, ’ he responded slightly smugly. ‘But, as there is a lady present and I’m not given to histrionics what I said will suffice.’

She leaned over the table taking the book from his unresisting hands.

‘Apocalypse coming, huh? You know you could freak out occasionally. There’s no need to constantly exercise such self-restraint.’

He stared back at the woman who had changed his life beyond recognition.

‘Believe me, there is.’

Very good! What I really like is that you can't tell WHEN it's from or even WHO he's talking to, although I'm assuming it's Buffy.

But so many women changed his life since he met Buffy, it could be one of many.

Thanks for your comment, I especially appreciate the fact it makes my drabble sound far cleverer than it actually is :)

'But so many women changed his life since he met Buffy, it could be one of many.' Great sentence, it ought to inspire some fics.
