But, well, he'd had his fears more or less since the beginning that Ginia might come to prefer Helios. It was just Giles' way to worry like that.

And, um, as the dream in question happened to be set in, in what I've always imagined your world to be...she asked about you." And, despite all his efforts, Giles can't quite keep a sour note out of his voice as he adds: "Repeatedly."
