I walked back on inside, figurin' Faith would follow me, and sighed as I took another drag. Not much had changed 'round here since we'd gone out t'get some fresh air... so t'speak. I did notice the door t'the office had been shut tight, and so's I made my way on over and opened it up without askin', seein' Percy and Sexy yabberin' away

He turned around and took off, headin’ back in. Didn’t even give me a chance to answer.
“Guess I will then.”
I laughed to myself, followin’ behind him. Boy looked like he was on a serious mission, marchin’ up to Wes’ door like he did. Wonder what that was about? Guess it’s a fuckin’ mystery just like the rest of the shit goin’ on here.
"Business, eh? I'll leave you two alone then if..."
He was ‘bout to shut the door back when I finally caught up to him. I peeked through the crack, seein’ Wes and Cor makin’ with some serious talkage. I cocked my head to the side, gettin’ ready to ask Spike what the deal was, when he pushed the door back open. Kinda hard too.
"No. On second thought, I won't leave you alone. What the bloody hell is goin' on 'round here? Angel's got some brat kid son? Blue's up and left us, Gunn's...... dead. Nothin' is makin' much sense. Me and Faith couldn't figure out why our stories didn't match up exactly, neither, so's maybe it' ( ... )

Hiding? I don't consider it hiding. We're discussing our issues in the privacy of an office. Privacy is a constitutional right, and besides that, everyone else saw us sneak in here anyway. If we're hiding, we're not doing a good job of it.
I was about to get up when the door swung up, revealing Spike. Who else would be rude enough storm in like that? Faith, who happens to be right behind him.

Blue's up and left us, Gunn's...dead. Nothin' is makin' much sense. Me and Faith couldn't figure out why our stories didn't match up exactly, neither, so's maybe it's time t'be talkin' t'the ones 'round here who actually seem t'know what the fuck is goin' on!"I'm not going to yell at him. We just started getting along again, and while raising my voice and calling him on his ( ... )

And right on cue, Faith joined the vampire in the doorway. I crossed my arms, starting to form the beginning of a response. Cordelia, though, had a more immediate comment to make, of course.
"You think it makes sense to us? You're wrong. And let me tell you ( ... )

I opened my mouth t'say somethin', thought better of it, and shut it. Bullocks. Didn't wanna fuck things up with Cordy, not right now, but I had no answers t'anythin' and I hadn't known who else t'ask.
'Course, I wasn't 'bout t'be tellin' them that, not right now...
Somewhat glad Faith was here behind me t'back me up on this issue.
"Look, I'm not askin' 'bout the past few years, just tryin' t'wrap my head 'round the idea that Blue would go and..." I shut my eyes and sighed. Yeah, so much for me keepin' my mouth shut. "Fine, so we're all in the bloody dark, then? Is that it?"
I walked over t'the desk and leaned against it. "I saw we vote on a new leader, then. Cuz Angel is bringin' us shit ( ... )

Ouch. Man, Cor’s always been kinda bitchy, but this was hardcore. Even for her. I just looked at her, curlin’ my lips up in digust and rollin’ my eyes.
Whatever.
Totally not goin’ there.
I kept my mouth shut and listened to Spike and Wes spar off. Figured they didn’t need my drama up in the mix. So I just watched and listened. If somethin’ needed my input, I’d say somethin’. If I could pay attention that long.
"Perhaps it would be worth it to bring everyone onto the same page, Cordelia, if we can do it quickly. The more of us there are that intend to help, the more important it becomes that we're all informed. And I'm sure that both Spike and Faith, are here to help. Correct ( ... )

No, they're just here to watch us play Clue. After what happened with Illyria, I can understand Wesley wanting to make sure that we're all on the same page, but he doesn't have to remind me that Spike wants to help. I know that. I've seen that there's a lot of good in him despite a lot of his annoying behavior, and I think I trust him.
I can't say the same for Faith. My memories of her aren't of friendly, happy times, and I don't think I'll ever forget what she did to us. I can forgive her, but my mind's too sharp for the forgetting part. People make mistakes, and no matter how big, if they want to overcome them, they can. If Faith is serious about finding redemption, then she's in the right place. With time and effort, we could learn to get along without yelling at each other--if she decides to stick around.
"Yeah. Help. Seein' as how you and I helped so soddin' much last time there was a brilliant suicidal plan, right Wes?"I'm not going to get started on the ( ... )
