As if on automaton, Giles was in The Summer's kitchen preparing drinks for everyone, and had just sent Spike off to get himself some blood from the remains in Giles' own fridge.

He slowly walked back into the living room, precariously balancing his tray of drinks and biscuits.

He handed out the beverages morosely, tea for himself and Tara, coffee for Anya, warm milk for Dawn, and a can of Coke for Xander.

They all accepted them with a barely murmured thank you.

Giles had just sat down in the easy chair, when Spike returned with his blood (Dawn had invited him back in when they brought Buffy's body back).

A few minutes later, Spike joined them, a cup of newly-warmed pigs blood in his hands, and they all sat in the house of their beloved Slayer, silently going through their memories of her, while her body lay dead on her bed upstairs.
