There's a list of things that Giles and Wesley don't talk about. Sometimes Giles thinks they ought to have a piece of paper tacked onto the 'fridge, so he glance at the list and remember during arguments not to bring up 'Angel' or 'father' or 'Ethan.' Invariably, one of them will reach for one of those topics and biting remarks are directed at old, still painful, wounds. His rage is hot, all shouting and hitting, while Wesley's is cold, as he pulls into himself and away from Giles, ever silent in his anger. It's always the same; it always hurts.
