Sounds like a plan

*Faith couldn't ever remember being this sick, not in her life. That was the funny thing about blood poisoning though-- particularly when you were working with limited and expired antibiotics. It wasn't like any sickness she'd ever encountered.* Gotta stop with the soup. Need the chickens.

[faithfuelsu]

I'm gonna be fine. Already gettin' stronger. Gonna need those eggs after. *Especially when there were other people in the camp that needed the protein because they were still fighting while she was laid up in a damn bed.*

Slayer healing goes a long way after that first boost.

*She takes the spoon without more of a fight but doesn't start eating right away. She's too busy studying Dean and she doesn't like what she sees.* What's wrong?

[faiththatfuelsu]

*Faith takes a tentative sip, frowning all the while. It's not much, but it's still one of the best tasting things she's had in years. Once she's gotten half way through, she looks to him again.* Finish it up for me? Don't think I can.

Then what aren't you tellin' me? 'Cos newsflash, I might be sick but I'm not blind, and you look like you've been through the wringer. If I can see it, that means everyone else in the camp can see it, too.

*And morale couldn't afford a double blow.*

[faiththatfuelsu]

*Her heart starts pounding in her chest with the look on his face and the tone in his voice.* What? What is it?

... who is it?

[faiththatfuelsu]

*Faith shuts her eyes when he delivers the news and it hits her like a punch to the gut. She might have cried once. Used to, back in the beginning. But now? Death was all too common.*

How?
