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.

Slayers don't all have this place, or the people here. But Alex doesn't say that, because Faith probably doesn't want to hear it. He just holds her, stroking her hair gently.

"Love you."

She knows that, really.

But she has a duty, too, still, and she'll always go back to it.

"Love you too."

For right now, though...duty can wait.
