Making Amends
by Molossus
Quote from William Shakespeare, King Henry V, Act IV, Scene III.
"I always knew you were meant for better things." Giles backtracked, "Well, always since you got the chip. Told you so, even."
"Right. Thas why you tried to have me killed."
Giles looked Spike steadily in the eye, an accomplishment considering the way the room spun around him. "You're right. You're aboshutely right. Time fer 'mends."
He lifted the knife from the cheese tray and quoted carefully.
"For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,"
"You shayin' you wanna be blood brothers?"
"Xactly."
"How 'bout we just be drinkin' buddies."
