[stake]

yeah
giles is in the clinic, should make a full recovery
amy was fine with first aid

[ Three dots indicate she has something else to say. The message takes a moment to come, with Faith briefly distracted by the dried blood on her jeans. ]

he got someone else
his name was cassian

[bronze]

koby told me

( she'll figure out what to do about that tomorrow. or never. a little bit of a wait. then, )

thanks, faith. you did good.

[stake]

[ Wherever she is, Buffy can't hear her, so Faith is free to laugh — if you can call it that. The sound she makes is bitter, humorless. ]

i said i'd help him

[bronze]

i know. i just appreciate it. thanks.

[stake]

is this how you felt when he killed that teacher?

nah
sorry
it's not the same
she didn't get to come back

[bronze]

( a small wait. her hand's so bloody, the phone keeps slipping out of her grip. )

yeah. guilty.
knowing if i was better, i could've saved someone.
knowing i failed.

[stake]

yeah
exactly

[ What else is there to say? ]

how are you?
i mean physically

[bronze]

hurt my hand. a little roughed up. nothing too bad.
i don't know why i'm not healing.

[stake]

can't help that you haven't slept

[ An educated guess. Neither has Faith. ]

[bronze]

ha. that's probably true.

( except buffy never really sleeps, not since grave dirt. )

can you ( do you want to she types first, before rewriting it. ) come over?

[stake]

[ Faith's response isn't immediate. She has to reread the message a few times first, make sure it actually came from Buffy. ]

be right there
your room?
