Come on. Give us a kiss.

( He lets her make the first move again, but doesn't press her forward. Just stays put. This is the fun. She's good, he'll give her that. But, she's not as resourceful. Not older. Not wiser. Not even ruthless.

And she's scared. )

[ She doesn't move except to narrow her gaze into something equal parts mean and suspicious. ]

What are you playing at?

Well, I meant, give it your best shot. Come and get me. But, did something deep down in your lady parts just palpate? I'm not Angel. I'm better. Didn't you always want better, Faith?

( If she's not going to swing at him again, then he's going to get inside her head. )

It wasn't me, but, oh, I felt that kiss Angel gave you. Back when he and Buffy duped you, bad. Got all under that skin. Share all your deep dark secrets. Give the plan away...

[ Faith jerks her head back with the sort of disgusted look that usually accompanies stepping in feces. She meant to get down to the point of it all, his reason for picking a fight with her. But his response makes her reflexively defensive. ]

Going for the double Slayer special? Bet you thought I'd make this easy. Jokes on you, 'cause easy as I am? I'm still above you.

I knew you were a wildcard. Now I see that self righteous streak's still intact. Guess you're not a lost cause, after all.

( He sounds - disappointed? Impressed? )
