Giles listens, and nods solemnly, he doesn't have the words to provide comfort here. He'd been witness to, but almost never a part of, the events of that nature that took place in Arcadia, and there is some part of him grateful for that small mercy, which seems not the right thing to share here. So the weight of his sympathy must be conveyed through his expression alone as Bash speaks, and for a good moment after as well.

"It can be hard to talk about experiences like these, you don't want to burden people with knowledge of the depths the universe can sink to, but talking is one of the surest ways to heal. If and when you feel up to it, I think it would be of benefit for you to talk to Oswald. I can't speak to his experiences, they're not mine to tell, but he'll understand what you've been through far better than I."

cw: discussion of non-con.

"Ossie knows...just a very little of it. There wasn't a right time to get into it. I'm still not sure there is." Bash had offered an ear in the aftermath of Ginger's deception, but hadn't detailed why he had personal familiarity with what it's like to have consent wrested away without warning.

"And you're damned right about not burdening people. The only people Jeff and I can talk to is one another, and we...usually don't. Not about that."

"The right time is the time you make. Oswald will want to help, or at least listen, whenever you feel ready.

You should talk to Jeff about it too, if you can. It would not surprise me if he's struggling to reckon with everything for similar reasons, and it's not a bad thing to lean on eachother for support."
