Word of the Day 100 Challenge: Bailiwick

by Red Wolf

"Are you certain I can't convince you to come home?"

Dawn shook her head. There wasn't much point. Giles was taking Buffy on a Slayer retreat and, as much as he refused to admit it, Spike really didn't want to be alone. She'd done her part in keeping her sister from killing Spike, talking through her problems was more Giles bailiwick.

"Have fun aligning Buffy's chakras or doing the hokey pokey or whatever it is you do on a spiritual quest."

Giles sighed. You took part in one ceremony involving shaking a magical gourd and you were branded for life.
