[she shifts uncomfortably. Heart to hearts aren't her forte, but she manages to avoid quipping to get out of it]

Looks like you made it back, alright.

[herotypical]

...Yay me. Back and bedridden. The lap of luxury ain't all that, you know. There comes a point where the next pillow fluffed is one fluffed pillow too far.

[ ... ] All quiet on the home front while I was gone? I mean -- besides the storm. No sign of we-know-who?

[want_take_have]

Quiet ain't exactly the word I'd pick, but the noise wasn't coming from anything with fangs.

[herotypical]

I still can't decide if that's a good or a bad sign.

[want_take_have]

Seeing as I'm not hearing anyone crying about neck wounds or blood loss, I'm gonna go with good.

[herotypical]

...I don't like it when they're tough to pin down. What if she's back but sub-radar? Gathering support?

[ or...buffy's simply paranoid. ]

[want_take_have]

Jesus, B. Listen to yourself. Who exactly is she gonna recruit? This whole place is like a recruiting station for boy scouts and bleeding hearts.

[herotypical]

Faith. [ she swung her pajama'd legs over the edge of the bed. ] She was here before. She had this guy -- Haseo -- who let her feed off him.

[want_take_have]

Seriously?

[she makes a face] Wicked gross.

[herotypical]

...There's actually a whole industry based on it, back home. [ oh. she pitter-pattered towards unfortunate subjects, here. ] People who're twisted enough to pay vamps for suck jobs.

[want_take_have]

Twisted.

Mostly, I say to each his own, but that's one kink I don't think I'm gonna get.

[herotypical]

Y-yeah. I never got it. [ ... ] Torched one of their pseudo-brothels, though. That felt kinda good.

Sorta.

[ didn't really make things feel better re: riley. ]

[want_take_have]

[Faith, at least, looks impressed]

Nice, B. Wish I coulda seen that.

[herotypical]

...I guess it's still yet to happen, from your POV. What -- at your time-point, I'm still with...Riley. Right?

[want_take_have]

[she swallowed at that]

Riley.

[hard to forget him. Or what she'd done with him] Yeah.

[herotypical]

Years and years and years ago...

[ would she want to go back to that simpler time, knowing what she knew now? back then, she would never have thought it simple at all. ]

He's married, now.

[want_take_have]

No shit?

[there were things she could have added on. Like wondering whether it was her fault that it hadn't worked out between Buffy and him. Wondering how long it had taken for that all to fall apart. But she doesn't.

Instead, she falls on the best defense she knows]

Married. Guess you really are getting old, huh?

[herotypical]

Hah. [ so so dry. ]

Actually, he was already older than me to begin with. And we're still talking a marriage that started well over four years ago, from my point. Minus two years for you.

[want_take_have]

[she eyed the other slayer carefully]

Not that I mind the trip down memory lane. Or...forward, I guess, for me. But you sure you should still be standing?

[herotypical]

You have no idea of how tired I am of laying in...

Well -- actually? You probably do. Have an idea.

[want_take_have]

[....that actually got a faint laugh]

I get it. But if you ever wanna have a hope of kicking my ass, you've gotta be in better shape than this.

[herotypical]

Are you challenging me? Are we setting a date?

[ with a sigh, she sits back down. ]

[want_take_have]

I don't know. Pretty sure beating up old ladies goes against this whole new role thing.

[herotypical]

Don't let the bruises fool you. [ IN FACT let her just grab jack's hat and set it on her head at a rather jaunty angle. it's about as good as she can do right now. ] Some things only better better with age.

[want_take_have]

Don't say I didn't warn you.
