...I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. [Also because Faith's view of people is...Special]

[She can't say didn't deserve that exactly, so she only purses her lips for a moment before relaxing and bringing up a smile]

So then how about you tell me about these three years?

Had a coma? How do you- [Dryly] Still not one for easing into things, are you?

[There's a startled pause and then a laugh] Can't even imagine it. Loss?

Aren't these losses supposed to be embarrassing or affecting you in some way? [Like being in a coma sounds like it'd be harder for everone who cares about you, than...you]

[FLASHBACK. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE FLASHBACK /cries on the inside]

...That's not a joke. Okay...Creepy.

[YEAH WELL...I'D LOVE TO SAY SHE'D FEEL BAD FOR THAT WHEN SHE GETS CANON UPDATED AND REMEMBERS IT, BUT...NO. ENJOY THIS WHILE YOU CAN, FAITH]

...It just hit you...While on a roof?

[This place just sounds more and more fun all the time] Your sense of humour could have been the first thing to go.

How long ago was that? You seem...Fine.

[SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN]

Oh? Do tell.

One thing to be happy about, I guess. These things are just never as good as they are in the movies.

Do you really want an answer to that question? Or do we just skip that?

[But she's a little amused. But only a little. You make things so difficult]

Nah, I did that whole sing thing. Shouldn't that buy me a couple months?

I'm sure Giles would have a very different answer for you. [It's odd, but not odd enough yet. You've seeked her out more than she's used to since she's been here, so she's blaming your three year stay for that so far]

Great. So how frequently can I look forward to these things?

[Aww, that's a little saddening, and gets awkward] Not a place favourite then, huh?

Goodie. Here I was, getting home sick.

[A slight shrug] Better off that way. I think he'd cry, if he saw the library. [Or heard about all the horrible arsons and explosions that seem to happen to it]

That entry seemed to suggest otherwise. That's really abnormal for this place?

...I don't think his heart could take it.

...There is no such type, Faith. Lorne might be a weird exception to the rule. [And she only buys it because everyone else said so]

[There's a long pause here, OKAY NOW IT'S WEIRD, and she's giving you an odd look] Conversation's not that stimulating Faith.

[Why are you still here?]

Those things don't change. [For someone who wishes she had a normal life, she's pretty adamant about kicking all the things that make her the slayer]

It's not mine that need work, I'm plenty of fun to be around! [A pause] No demons, no action, which tends to equal boredom for you. So what, you can't think of anything more interesting to do?
