Angel had been stuck in worse places, although everyone assured him that this place got worse. Right now there was a whole lot of nothing to do but Angel was comfortable with filling up spare time. He had a lot of it to fill. At least he wasn't stuck indoors. Right now.

He chuckled at Faith's suggestion. "Yeah but then they might forget to get me clean sheets."

"Hey, priorities." Faith agreed, punctuating her statement with a point in the air. She spotted the food court and drifted toward it, hoping to find something preferably fried, twice over.

Clean sheets reminded her that she should probably fill Angel in on living arrangements. "Oh, and four people to a cabin, plus you gotta share a bathroom with whoever else is your rooming buddy." See? Faith was a regular hostess, a font of information.

Angel listened as they walked, his hands in his pockets. He wasn't much of a talker but he could listen.

"There are two other people in my cabin. One's a recent arrival."

Poor Bela and Chun-Li. Angel was likely to use up all the hot water. He liked long showers.

Faith was cool with silence. She could be terse, too, only right now was more a chatty time now that she had grandpa to tease.

"Dude, mine's full up. I share a bathroom with a 14-foot-tall samurai dude. The other two, I haven't seen 'em around all that much." She walked beside him, gesticulating in the air and walking along more at ease than she'd been in awhile. "Definite sausage fest in there, too."

After his sigh, Faith continued. Better to lay it all out while he was dealing with the other shit. "She's also uh, from a different planet or something. Gaia. Calls her magic Materia, which -- whatever. Tomato, potato."

Faith pressed her lips together and nonchalantly added something she wasn't loving at the end, quickly. "Also, I'm not exactly up to snuff here." She stopped and pulled up her pant leg to show Angel her mangled heel. It'd begun to scab over but by now it should've been mostly bruised and itchy. "Happened days ago, Angel, when I almost got killed by some of the more tricky fuckers." Her voice was quiet, ashamed.

Now Angel was concerned. Not about the magic. That was slid to the back of his mind when Faith showed him her heel. His whole face scrunched up with worry. He crouched down to get a closer look at the wound, touching it lightly with his fingertips.

He looked up at her, still obviously worried. "Alright, until we figure this out, I'd like to patrol with you. Have you noticed anything else besides your healing time being affected?"

Now she really wished she hadn't told him, but Faith begrudgingly answered his question while trying to ignore the fact that he wanted to babysit her. "I dunno, I guess I'm not really as strong as I should be."

Actually having to say it all out loud was not going easy for her. She tried to make it sound like not much of a big deal at all, but the truth was, being a slayer was what made Faith tick. Being left without that, it made her feel like a fucking victim.

"Bet I could still kick your broody ass, though," she joked, in an attempt to get some control back.

That made Angel look more concerned and he stood up, hands going back in his pockets. He knew Faith wouldn't be thrilled about the 'baby sitting' but it wasn't something he was willing to compromise on. There weren't enough people left in the world that he cared about. If she didn't let him patrol with her, he'd just shadow (aka Stalk) her.

"I'd be disappointed in you if you couldn't," Angel smiled a little at her. "Is anyone else here affected the same way?"
