"So that's it! Of course!" he said, as if to himself. "It's so terribly simple that no one would ever think of it!"
Willow was also fascinated. "Look at the chemical compounds," she murmured. "Not a single one of them is rare, or hard to find…"
Xander was perplexed. "Look, could someone please explain to the layman exactly what is going on?"
They ignored him. "I can get the necessary chemicals, if you can find someone to do the actual forming," Willow said to Giles. "It's mostly just earth and water mixed together with a few trace minerals."
"Clay." He stated. He started to smile, and removed his glasses to clean them. "It's so amazing, yet so simple -"
"Hey! Guys! What is going on?"
Willow gave him her sweetest smile. He was a dear friend and she hated keeping him in the dark, but she didn't want to take the time to explain it to him and listen to his protests when the end of their goal was finally in sight - as soon as she got to the science lab. "We're playing God," she said. "Nothing to worry about." She exited the library, paying no attention to Xander's incoherent sputters of protest.
"Fine, go! I guess I didn't want to know anyway!" he said loudly. "I'll just go off by myself (with Cordelia, he added silently) and have fun because your little secret means nothing to me!"
"Excellent idea, Mr. Harris," said Giles absently, nose buried in a book.
Xander snorted and stalked out.
