( he knows that faith was, once upon a time, good at surveillance. subterfuge. knows he was ignored - well, the house was ignored by their being paired together by his first, unchosen username. now he chooses. now he wants to go a little more low profile.
he hasn't seen her around, knows that there are discrepancies in time between people. doesn't even know the angle he should be taking.
he would hit harder, but god forbid she go to buffy. here's his first try as angel. with faith, anyway. )
It's Angel, Faith.
I wasn't thrilled we were paired on that internet thing, either, but I at least expected a response.
[ Faith has been in and out, with digital communication as much as with personal connections. As skilled as she is with deception, she is even more talented at avoidance. Denial. Straight up refusing to deal — and that means keeping to herself even when the house tries to force her hand.
It's embarrassing to admit that she simply wasn't paying attention, so she doesn't. ]
( he could play this any way. but there are many reasons why no response would be a response. even ms. having more fun than her first go-round, she still has her attitude. )
I'm surprised, I get a jail out of free card, I would probably be talking to anybody I could.
( he is, indeed. and this was three years ago at this point.
trial by fire could be anything. it could be her disappearing from sunnydale high. it could be buffy personally deciding it's faith's blood that could cure her. or whatever it was she did back in sunnydale and god how much he does not care about that right now. )
Yours or mine?
Because, from what I remember, it was yours. You made your way up and down the torture techniques. It was actually inspired. Until you fell apart in the rain.
And terrorize Angel's ex like it's going out of style. I still don't actually know what happened between you two but GOD did she come in hot. He shut her down so hard. You should've seen that girl's heart break. He protected you like a wounded animal. To save you.
[ Faith's defensive instincts have her speed-typing a response about Buffy stabbing her and leaving her to rot, but we don't call it terrorizing when it's the golden girl, do we? — and then her mind catches up with her hands.
Angel's ex.
He shut her down.
He must think she's an idiot. ]
nice try but no way am i falling for that act again
( well, he tried. he tested the waters. this is going to go great because this double negative will save him when the time comes. )
Alright, you got me, I was trying to give you the hardsell, hold a mirror up. From my calculations, you're from your first night in town where you left a trail of bodies and stole an apartment.
That was a volatile time.
I really don't know what you did to Buffy. I don't regret ( ugh ) standing up for you. I protected you, Faith. Ultimately, it was you who turned yourself in.
i'm five by five, actually looks to me like ur the one with a problem just cuz B found herself a new vamp doesn't mean i'm gonna be your rebound slayer
