Faith comes in from outdoors, looking quietly pleased, and acquires dinner and coffee, then curls up in front of the fireplace.

Tomorrow, there will be blood and violence and possibly all manner of woe. Tonight...tonight was good.

As Alain would say, it is well.

She is truly horrid at lying. She knows this.

"As alright as things ever get around here." It's not quite a lie, is it?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"...I meant between you and Tim."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"S'fine." She replies, accidentally using a Milliways code word. She didn't mean it. Really.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith's eyebrows fly up.

"...fine as in really fine? Or fine as in 'I fell thirty feet and shattered my lower everything, but don't worry about me?'"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"S'fine." Ace repeats, for clarification. Or. You know. Not. She's determinedly staring at the fire.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh. Pull the other one, it has bells."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

She's quiet for a while.

"Tim's worried about Tonks." It's a partial explanation, anyway. Might be why she still looks a bit knackered.

"She's alive. We're going after her tomorrow."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"I know." She's glad, for Bernard. For Sunny. And she feels absolutely rotten that she threw... is throwing? A snotty fit over the whole thing. But... gods. She wants to go.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"...you're not coming?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"No." She doesn't elaborate. She's managed to get past the 'flailing and glaring' point of the emotional rollercoaster, but she's still pretty depressed about the whole thing.

She doesn't like being left out.

Faith is quiet, considering.

Then she nods, once, slightly.

"I'll kill some extra for you."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Ta, Faith." But her heart isn't in it. It just isn't the same.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Welcome."

Faith hugs her, one arm slung over the pyro's shoulders.

"Best I can do."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

She leans into Faith.
"I know." It's not like Bernard would allow Faith to bring home a couple for the resident British pyro to blow up.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"If I understood that nitro stuff better, I'd blow 'em up, but as it is, I'll have to just stabbity."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't help. S'why I'm not coming. No use for nitro." She explains quietly.
