[Xander]

Xander could hear the sea. He knew it from his days of a Californian teenage boy, and he knew it again from his time in Africa. This, though, wasn't soothing, because over it he heard too few voices, and certainly no familiar ones.

Opening his eye, he waited patiently for the adjustment to the dim lighting before attempting to sit up. Nausea climbed up his from his stomach, and it was only years of practice that kept it from going further.

/Oh. Right. Portal travel plus Xander equals gross./ And with that thought, many more came rushing at him, and he groaned. Loudly.

"This totally isn't Rome, is it?" The question was directed at, of course, no one, though he did receive a reply, much to his dismay.

"Mm. No, unfortunately. Though European food can't be much better than snake."

Xander's hand shot to his boot, where he kept his knife. Ignoring his queasiness, he managed to keep his gaze fixed on Dr. House. "Well, hi there. You a vampire? Demon? Dead person whose image is being used by The First Evil?"

Hearing Xander's voice, Faith stepped back into the tent. She didn't try to be stealthy, she wanted Xander to hear her coming. Sneaking up wasn't on her agenda right now.

"Nah he's human," Faith said with a grin. "Cranky as hell and probably a perfect example of male menopause, but he's human. Though most vamps and demons got way better manners and people skills than he does."

Faith waved her hand between the two, "Dr. House meet Xander Harris. Xander Harris, Dr. House." Moving as close as she dared, Faith dropped to one of the hospital beds - actually removed plane seats covered in blankets and sheets made of spare clothing - and folded her legs. "And for the record? Not a demon either, still a slayer and not evil, and considering that you weren't wearing the facial accessory last time I saw you, I'm gonna guess that we're from totally different realities."

Xander blinked. Then again, before taking a deep breath. Deciding that he would react like any good Scooby, he let his hand fall back to the ground. "It's very nice to meet you, Dr. House."

The doctor gave Xander a once-over, decided him fine, and turned to Faith. "He's fine. Don't kill him. I'm going to go-" he waved his hand in the general direction of out "eat some snake."

"Well. Um. Hi, Faith." He took in his surroundings. "Yeah, that'd be as good a guess as any." His hand automatically went to the band holding his patch in place, before he dropped it back into is lap. "So, how's life?"

"Eh," Faith shrugged nonchalantly. "Can't complain. Still alive, still a Slayer. Stuck on a tropical desert island, kinda sick of fish, snake and coconut and yeah, I guess I can complain."

She paused, giving Xander a careful, nonflirtatious and definitely non-soliticous once over. "Okay, seeing as how you're totally not surprised, I'm guessing you either expected to end up somewhere weird, or that reclining on a fake gurney in the tropics is way better than where you expected to end up?"
