Faith's in the bar again, or maybe she never left, it's hard to say. She's finished with all her notebooks, and is now busy consuming an extraordinarily unhealthy breakfast that consists of sausage, Pop Tarts, and Red Bull. Fear. Come chat with her, if you like, but mostly, fear.

They sound like cowards that are afraid of fighting their own evil, and send young girls to kill vampires instead.
"So you dreamt your watchers killed Nick and forced you to watch that?"

Asar-Suti looks at her, quite serious.
"I may be wrong, I may be too logical, and I certainly utterly lack the empathy that Esk or Aidan have when dealing with such things, but for me, those dreams make sense. They rhyme, gel, and deliver a clear message."
He doesn't go on - he wants her assent before he inflicts his theory on her.

Asar-Suti shrugs.
"You said 'control'? You said the first of them made the first of you to fight their evil for them? You're here, Bound, out of their control? They will want you back. They might be working on getting you back. Either the dreams are messages from them, trying to blackmail you back to your 'duty' - not that you can, because, Bound and all that - or the dreams are warnings that they are working on getting here and reclaim you. If not Giles and Wesley, whoever they might be, then other Watchers? The organisation that hands down their tradition? Having a Slayer go AWOL and make friends with vampires must be utter catastrophe to them. They must be after you in some way."
Asar-Suti doesn't like the idea of those Watchers at all, even if Faith says those that she had were all right. Shady figures sending out young girls to kill nice vampires - ugh! A bunch of prejudiced cowards and self-righteous vigilantes, as far as the former Dark God is concerned.

Asar-Suti shudders. What an awful world she comes from. The idea is inane, and the execution is cruel.
"Whoever is left must be desparate to get their hands on a Slayer and start out again," he adds. "I said I might be wrong, but keep it in mind, as a possibility. The 'one explanation that is impossible' often turns out to be the truth; the one with the most obvious alibi is the murderer while the one with the most obvious motives is innocent. Narrative causality; it applies to all of us here."

"So if they have, they might know, disapprove, and exploit your friendship with Nick to bring you back under their control, the way I explained?"
He shrugs, and sighs. "I don't claim it's the truth or anything - just keep your eyes on the possibility while still doing the things that seem more obvious to you, like being protective of Nick. If you can ever use the help of somebody who can smite goddishly or visit purple burnination upon your foes, don't hesitate to count me in."
Vigilantes who hate vampires, who might harm Nick Knight, nice fellow in and of himself and most importantly (for Asar-Suti's mental network map of the people around him) the lover of Alex of Tirragen who'd utterly lose it if anything happened to Nick - Asar-Suti firmly knows what side he is on, and is ready to prove that if needed.

Then Asar-Suti suddenly perks up, distracted utterly.
"There is Richard (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/3609697.html)!!" he exclaims. "Turn around; the fellow behind the bar, that is Richard!"
[[OOC: can you go on that thread first? Then AS follows to introduce Faith, and then he goes conjure more dowels - as his mun needs to go home from work soon.]]
