Faith comes into the bar from upstairs, obviously just out of the shower - all the blood is gone, and her hair is still wet, clinging to her shoulders.

Her expression is completely unreadable as she moves to the bar and acquires two things - coffee, and a room key - before moving to a table.

"Including you."

He says mildly,

"You have been through much, and can not be entirely blamed for the things which you once did. Even if you could, you have spent a very long time becoming far better than those who once had reason to condemn you."

Faith blushes scarlet.

"Not better than...not really. I don't think so."

"I know."

And somewhere in the two words is the opinion that if she did think so he probably would not. Yet it is the way it is, so she will just have to put up with his pride.

The blush may get a little deeper.

He reaches over to pat her on the head fondly, and makes certain that her coffee is warm.

She may lean into the patting a little.

Or maybe a lot.

"Would you like to spend time in one of Daniel's worlds, Faith?"

His own being in the past, and rather more likely to have people from here to get in the way of her vacation.

"I as Daniel would be pleased to see you again under better circumstances."

Faith blinks at him.

"...could I do that and not be gone from here very long?"

"As long as you wanted, and back as soon as you wished."

He affirms quietly.

Faith licks her lips and nods, once, slowly.

"...I don't have any money on me, but...yeah...that'd be good."

"You do not need it, Faith. When would you like to go?"

Reality is also a little lax when it comes to small things like legal currency and the Endless.

"...now. I can be back tomorrow? Now."

Faith is, perhaps, a little twitchy.

"Someplace where I don't have to be a Slayer. Or Security. Or anything at all."

And Daniel holds a hand out to her, standing up from his seated position in the air as he does so.

And Faith takes his hand, with a warm, grateful, relieved smile.

And then he walks her out of Milliways and into the other Dreaming.

She can choose a world to visit from there, he'll show her some of the most peaceful.
