(no subject)
The subject of dropping Niska into a Hellmouth keeps arising, but there's a small problem - Faith has no idea where there's a Hellmouth to be had in her world, just now.
Therefore, a short trip is planned - shiftily, of course, on the sly. One of her best knives is strapped to her waist, her engagement ring is threaded on a chain around her neck for safekeeping, the stone that makes her door open to Antar is tucked into a pocket, and Faith steps into the bar, takes a quick look around to see if anybody's watching - nobody is - and then opens the door again, stepping through...
into Max's bedroom on Antar.
She blinks a few times, staring at the room, then pulls the stone from her pocket, puts it on Max's bed, and tries again.
Same result.
When the third try, and the fourth, both land her in the exact same spot, Faith gives up. The knife is put away, the engagement ring goes back on her finger, and she tucks the stone back in her pocket, to keep until she can give it back to Michael.
She's shocked, but somehow not really that surprised.
The door opens to the place you call home, and for her, that's where Max is.
