[OOM: Faith and Joyce have a Forgiveness Moment in Faith's room.]

Faith comes downstairs, dressed in an athletic bra and biker shorts, her hair piled on her head. She's been training, and she's a little sweaty...she could do with a shower, and she'll probably take one soon. But for now, she's here, sitting at a table with a bottle of water, a burger, and fries.

Her security badge and the scar from when Buffy stabbed her in the gut with her own dagger are both plainly visible.

Also? She's smiling.

*Again, eyeroll.*

I fare'ee well, I guess. Eh. Different day, you know how it goes.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. You wanna talk or should I shove off?"

[mnt_raph]

*Blink*

Talk 'bout what?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"...anything?"

[mnt_raph]

Uh...met a dragon on the roof?

*He offers helpfully.*

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Was it a good dragon or a bad dragon?"

[mnt_raph]

It was like...happy. Hard to tell good or bad with happy.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Huh. Well, so long as it isn't burning the place down, reckon we're alright, yeah?"

[mnt_raph]

I guess...if you don't mind gettin' daily affermations from a giant flyin' puppy.

*Raph is of the "nothing should be that happy" school of thought.*

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Wow. Mental image. Thanks for that."

[mnt_raph]

S'what 'm here for.
Hear we got a new vampire to look out for.

"Yeah. Mel's brother." Faith makes a face. "He's...something else entirely."

[mnt_raph]

Yeah? How's that?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"You remember when I had those Slayer dreams and I wasn't sleeping right? For a long time?"

[mnt_raph]

Yeah, course.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Had one about Mel and Harth. I was inside him, and he was hurting her."

[mnt_raph]

*Raph gets very quiet, and pays a whole lot more attention to his beer.*

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"I felt what he felt...and he was enjoying it. Her pain...seeing her cry...he liked it. He loves her...in a sick, twisted vampire-like way...he thinks hurting her is proving how much. He gets off on it...gets off on her."

[mnt_raph]

great.

*Is all he can manage to say at first.*

This puts us in a funny place then, that what you're tellin' me?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Oh, believe me when I say uh-huh." Faith sighs. "See...vamps in my world...d'you know anything 'bout them yet?"

[mnt_raph]

Dealt with leaches before. Had a show of 'em in Mass this one time. Near Arkham. Then there's what Andrew tol' me 'bout them. An' what I know of Angel.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Angel. He's from my world. See...vamps in my world, they're demons, soulless monsters that take over the corpses of the people they kill. Angel doesn't kill humans anymore because he got his soul back, but when he loses his soul...and he can...he goes bad. Last time, it was here...he nearly killed me."

[mnt_raph]

Sounds like a swell guy...

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith shrugs slightly.

"When he's not evil, he is."

[mnt_raph]

That's one of them discriptions that everyone fits.
