chapter 75
Rupert Giles called his superior Quentin Travers. Travers was a prominent member of the Watcher's council, which ran the Watcher's organization from England. Giles didn't neccessarily like Quentin, but he saw the neccessity of keeping him informed of certain things.
Giles: Buffy Summers has agreed to be trained by me.
Quentin: Good. What about her sister?
Giles: Buffy doesn't want me training Dawn, at least not yet.
Quentin: We don't know who the next slayer will be. Dana's rampage limited the pool of potentials.
Giles: Buffy will see the neccessity of Dawn learning to protect herself.
Quentin: The council, myself included, has had reservations about your methods. Keeping them in the dark, working with an ex-communicated watcher.
Giles: God knows Wesley is annoying but he has experience that could help Buffy.
Quentin: Under his watch a slayer defected to the enemy.
Giles: If nothing else Faith's story could be a cautionary tale. Without my help Buffy defeated a serial killer and an apocalytic cult. I can prepare Buffy for the next threat, whatever that might be. But if you think another watcher could do a better job than relieve me.
Quentin: No, this potential has your trust, that could be useful. But keep us updated, as well as regular diary updates.
Giles: I'm keeping a journal.
Quentin: Good. Rupert, I do wish you the best in Sunnydale. But should you fail, we will need your journal to analyze. See what can be improved for future slayers.
Giles: I wish you the best too Quentin.
