It's been a long time coming. But Faye's finally feeling better, and besides, the questers are back.

So the familiar scent of coffee is drifting from 202, and there is a sign on the door: "Need a haircut? Ask Faye."

The musical selection this time around is triumphant classical.

"Is that coffee?"

Steph is in a robe that she found in her room. Because, after months in that damn suit of hers, it was starting to stand up on it's own.

"Cause I would SO kill for a cup."

[burbonmilkshake]

Faye nods. "How do you take it?"

[whoismatches]

"Black as night, sweet as sin."

Steph looks the girl over.

"Er, were you here before? Sorry, It's been...way too long."

[burbonmilkshake]

"Gotcha." Faye disappears into the kitchen, then returns with a mug for the superheroine girl.

"Before the grail quest? Yeah. I didn't know everyone, though. My name's Faye."

[whoismatches]

"I'm Steph. Or Robin. Or Spoiler. It doesn't matter."

She clutches the mug to her, inhaling the scent, savoring the warmth.

[burbonmilkshake]

"That's a lot of names. You don't have a preference?" Faye tilts her head.

[whoismatches]

"Not any more."

She gestures outwards, towards the city.

"Nothing as small as that matters here."

[burbonmilkshake]

"That's true enough." She gives a faint smile.

"So what did you do before, Steph?"

[whoismatches]

"I was a superhero."

She sips her coffee.

"But I wasn't much good at it."

[burbonmilkshake]

"You were better at it than I could be," she says, firmly. "I couldn't do any of that superhero stuff."

[whoismatches]

"I got a lot of people killed."

Staring into the coffee.
