Faith's not certain what Kitty's plans for Edmund entail, but the phrase Won't be back for a while probably means it's gonna be good fun for both of them.

Never one to stand in the way of romance or intercourse, she has agreed to take Ed's bartending shift for the night.

Which is why she's behind the bar, clad in a very short red leather miniskirt and matching (backless) halter top, nervous and trying to hide it.

The specials board reads as follows:

Pyro

Nitro

Mad Bomber

Absent Friend

Non-alcoholic Special: Hot chocolate

What'll it be?

"I am very impressed. Women of your time are very strong compared to women of mine."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"It's a little more complicated than that...uhm, how much did Mel tell you about herself?"

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"She told me she fights evil and vampires. She had to explain what vampires are--we don't have them in Middle Earth."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Right. Well, we're...enhanced, magically, to make us able to do that," Faith explains. "We're both stronger than...oh, any ten or so human men."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"You're magical beings?"

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith nods.

"We can't use magic ourselves, but yes, we are."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"That's . . . That's . . . I have met many interesting people here."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, this place is good for that."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"So I've learned. It's not the afterlife I expected."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"...ouch. No, I guess it wouldn't be."

Faith pours him another drink.

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"Thank you.

"I thought it was common to meet the dead here."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"It is," Faith says. "That doesn't make it any easier on you, though, does it?"

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"Being dead?" He shrugs. "It's better than oblivion, I suppose."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess it would be, at that."

Faith still looks sympathetic.

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"There is work to do and friends to speak with and pretty maidens to enjoy . . . it is not the halls of my ancestors, but it will do."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith grins.

"Enjoying a lot of pretty maidens, are you?"

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"They make excellent scenery."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"That they do."

Faith is not a maiden.

Boromir would never dream of assuming things one way or the other.

He is left a bit flummoxed by her statement, anyway.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"I haven't been a 'maiden' for a while."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"Er. Quite." He sips his drink.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"We're pretty casual about it where I'm from. I was 14."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"That's very young," is his astute response.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it is," Faith agrees. "I mean, even by my time's standards. I've heard of younger though."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

"Did your husband die young?"

He is hopelessly mired in his times. That's all there is to it.
