That's okay. I didn't accuse her thinking I could salvage a friendship from it. You like her and I like you, and that means I could easily like her as well. Well, maybe not now.
I want to save her, Buffy. That's why I accused her.
What you said... the last part about her: "i don't really think she'd just off someone and walk away. she'd want to make herself suffer for it first, i think."
I just want to save her from having to suffer too much pain. If I catch her, she could — blame me for not doing it better, or sooner.
( or, at least, she thinks she knows. buffy also knows she's putting a lot faith in a guy she only meant this month — but it's because wei wuxian was kinder to her than he needed to be, a total stranger in the throes of grief, clinging a little too tightly to a guy who let her. )
if it is her, she's going to blame me for the same. i mean. i defended her. she'll never forgive me for that.
( something she's thought about a lot, these last few days. was she even right to double down on defending faith so hard? did she really let herself consider if faith might be guilty? )
I'm okay with her hating me, if it means she won't hate herself as much.
I AM going to accuse her again, Buffy. It's my responsibility to see this through now, whether she is or is not. Faltering won't help anyone. If she's not a wolf, I will bear her grudge. If she is... then, maybe I will have helped her.
[ There's no way he'll mention he doesn't have ironclad proof. He doesn't know people well enough to lay a trap, such as the one that captured Shauna. His target isn't even a well-known villain such as Saber Tooth or Danny. She's just a girl that fits the ticket, and nobody else has offered up another name. So, how can he flinch from this?
AS FOR THE REST ]
Quite the effort to discredit me and make my accusation look like nothing but a grudge, isn't it? I'm not a vampire. I never said I was, either.
not getting any traction wasn't enough for you just once, huh?
( said kind of fondly. oh wwx.)
you know, i've had a couple people think it's me. but none of you actually, officially accuse me. you're dead set on faith, but you haven't given me the same interrogation. why? seriously. i wanna know.
but you're in the vamp chat. so — you must've said it to someone. or set someone up to believe it?
( or there are a bunch of annoying trolls in vamp chat, which honestly, yeah. buffy's grateful she's only in the one chat she almost never checks. )
I cannot speak for others. For me, it was because you and Mister August accused one another.
You both appear to have wanted to take responsibility for something you could not be assured of having done — and no groundwork was done to find and name any alternatives. You did not even consider there to be anyone else but yourselves. At least with you, there is a perfectly equal contender.
[ Faith. Unfortunately. ]
When I accuse her this time, Miss Buffy... I think it would be best to bring your name alongside hers. Last time, I only wanted to point out the fallacy in naming one Slayer as possessing the ability to kill without considering the other.
[ oh vamp chat.... he's looked through it a few times and noted how dramatic they are... it's so fun ]
I insinuated it and allowed them to assume, yes. Miss Katherine also just, did not care enough to validate anything, and let me in.
if you want to bring my name up, i support it. i won't be mad. just don't just make sure you don't say i could've been the one who did in giles. okay? i wasn't. i couldn't have. and i wouldn't have, not ever. i don't care if that doesn't make sense.
Not Giles, Miss Buffy. He was mauled by an animal, not you. It makes sense to me. Even compelled, you would have been smarter about your choice.
Homelander, Clark and... I do not know this round, I am still learning of the information. Strong individuals, brought down quickly. No nonsense, even.
[ he also waits, because he's clinging to this idea for no reason anyone else will understand — other than if faith is a wolf, he has to help her. ]
Actually, he's my donkey. My child died a while ago.

hey, are you really a vampire? you don't give off vamp vibes at all.
