Faith pulled up to the new Bon Temps headquarters that Buffy managed to score. She had tried to clean up as much of Xander's blood from the back seat as she could. Blood still gave her too many flashbacks that she wished would just disappear. But she knew it had to be done. It was hard when all you had was soap and water ( ... )

He wasn't too shocked to hear that something had happened. They would have all been back now if things had went normal, possibly either with the rogue Slayer or coming in telling him that she had escaped or not been there by the time they got there. It was much more dire than he had imagined, though. "So, he's going to be OK?" Giles asked. A part of him regretted putting this on them immediately because of what had happened. If the girl had lashed out, then she was apparently more unstable than he or Faith had realized ( ... )

Faith nodded at Giles' question about Xander. "Yeah, sounded like he lost a bit of blood but they got 'em all flushed back in," she stated, running her fingers through her hair. She sighed and sat down in the nearest chair ( ... )

Giles was glad to hear that, despite his injury, Xander sounded like he was going to be OK. Despite helping Willow some with the problem with Dawn, he couldn't help but wonder if things would be better if he hadn't brought this stuff here at all. Maybe then Xander wouldn't have been attacked and the other Slayer might still be alive. Of course, it could be him sitting in the hospital now, but he would never know that now ( ... )

"Like I said, we didn't know she had a fuckin' knife," Faith stated, leaning forward and resting her elbows on her thighs a moment, letting her hands dangle. "If we did, we coulda maybe handled it better so nothin' like this could've happened. Xander wouldn't've been sent to the damn hospital..."She shook her head.

Glancing up at him, she nodded. "Yeah, I'm cool, Giles. My pride might've been bruised by lettin' a baby Slayer get the best of me, but other than that, think I was the lucky one outta the three of us."

Faith sat up straight again, running her fingers through her long, dark locks. She looked back at Giles, right into his eyes. "I think B's messed in the head because of all this, G.Think she needs someone to talk to before she jumps off the deep end. I know how that's like, and then some. I think she needs ya'."

"Anything can 'get the best of you' if the situation goes badly enough," Giles reminded her. "Sometimes all it can come down to is a lucky shot being gotten." Unfortunately, no matter how much either Faith or Buffy trained, someone could always get a lucky shot when their guard was let down just a little, or even without them letting their guard down. That's why it was called a 'lucky shot' after all ( ... )

Faith took his statement in about anything getting the best of you. It was true, but sometimes, you have to look back and wonder if things could've gone just a little differently. She leaned back in the chair, arms behind her head and watched the emotions run through Giles' face at the mention of Buffy needing him at the moment ( ... )

british_watcher August 14 2010, 03:49:50 UTC

He sighed when Faith pointed out that Buffy wouldn't want to listen to anything that she had to say. She was right, unfortunately. Buffy didn't always take advice or even offers to talk well from the people that would help her the most. She was kind of...hard headed like that, unfortunately. While he had liked her strong will, sometimes it could get in the way of, well, her listening to reason.

He pinched the bridge of his nose when Faith explained that him and Buffy were a true team. "We may have once been a 'true team' as you say, and we'll always be connected, but the trust that we once had is gone, on both sides. I made my mistakes and she made hers."

This might be the opportunity for them to start to rebuild the bridge a bit, though. He stood up. "I will talk to her, though. She might need to hear this from me, but I just hope that she's willing to listen."

i_wrasselgators August 18 2010, 14:29:33 UTC

Faith smiled when he actually took her advice. It was sad to hear that whatever had happened between them still hadn't been mended. Buffy might think Faith would revel in this discord between them. Once upon a time, sure, she probably would have. But that was all behind her and since running around with Giles for a few months now, really, all she wanted was his respect.

Which she pretty much got.

She knew it, though. She knew no matter how many years could pass, Giles would always be Buffy's Watcher. And it didn't make Faith jealous at all.

Faith sat back in the chair. "Glad you're listenin' to me for once, G," she said with a smirk. "It'll do ya' both good. It's rough. Me? I did the wrong thing and lied to ya' when I killed Wilkins' assistant. That's how rough it can get." Not that Buffy would ever lie to push the blame off of her.

"Good luck," she told him, sincerely.

He actually knew that she would no longer revel in the animosity between him and Buffy. He knew that she was a lot better than Buffy and the others gave her credit for now. Of course, they would have to get to know her better and not automatically assume that she was there to start a fight or something. That would actually go a long way between him and Buffy getting along better at this point ( ... )

After some rousing card games with Xander, Buffy was feeling a little better. Not that she should, but he had definitely lifted her spirits . Especially since she felt guilty about getting him hurt. Again ( ... )

Giles had looked up when he heard the car pulled up, and watched as Buffy walked into the room. With a quick wave from Faith, she left the room as well, presumably to go outside, have a cigarette, and let them talk in private. He couldn't help but feel proud of her since she had come such a long way from being the young, immature girl that she had once been. Now wasn't the time to be thinking of Faith, though. Now he needed to focus on Buffy ( ... )

theslayer_buffy October 25 2010, 17:13:58 UTC

Buffy watched as Faith left the room, nodding slightly to her before folding her hands in her lap. She was prepared for the scolding and disapproval of a lifetime. She waited, listening to Giles' words. But, it never came ( ... )

"No, it's not your fault, Buffy," he said, shaking his head. And yet, he could understand why she would take something like this onto her shoulders. When he had been in a similar situation, he had done the same, all but running back to the Council, wrapping himself in the traditions and layers of tweed, and pretending he was someone else. It had truthfully taken him years to have more of an understanding of what had happened and what he should feel ( ... )

theslayer_buffy November 10 2010, 04:14:46 UTC

Buffy hated when he was right. She always did. She wanted him to be pissed at her, to give her some sort of timeout punishment. But, of course, Giles was annoyingly kind and understand. Hell, he was trying to make her feel better about killing someone ( ... )

british_watcher November 10 2010, 19:44:55 UTC

He actually knew that she would prefer some sort of punishment, or to at least be told that she was wrong or something. For two people that had been mostly estranged from one another for a few years now, they still understood each other far too well for it to be real. Faith was right about one thing: their bond could never truly be broken. Even if they weren't able to talk to one another at any one time ( ... )
