         Buffy sits up with a sudden panic, because as enlightening as that conversation had been, she suddenly put something together. Giles is beginning to stir next to her. “Xander, what did you mean by me talking to the Primal you?”
         When she glances over, though, he just looks a little confused, thinking back through what he remembers to try to extract meaning from that. “Did I say that?”
         “But you’re the one that let me actually talk to Sineya, right?” she clarifies, and he nods and doesn’t ask her who Sineya is, because he’d learned her name somehow, and unfortunately, her bringing it up in the first place might have been the exact wrong thing to do, because he looks really thoughtful.
         Fortunately, Willow speaks up. It’s not meant as a distraction, because she has no idea what’s going on here, but it works well enough. “What’s with the cheese?” She even sounds a little scandalized.
         Hopefully, if they’re lucky, he won’t think about it too much and get too close to things he shouldn’t. (They’re not lucky, ever, and Xander’s always overthinking everything, but at least she has hope.)
