But not a father-figure to Wesley, surely? ~g~ If I'd had more time and creativity, I'd have like to slide a little Giles/Wesley suggestion or two into it. But I was severely lacking in both time and creativity.

The way I think I hoped it would read was that this was Giles being a father figure of sorts... making it all the more disturbing (Attempt at a subtle Lolita reference, for example. Of course, it's probably as subtle as a sledgehammer, but hey. My writing ability went walkabout and hasn't come back yet.)
