Faith rested the rest of the night, thinking its better to explore when she was fully rested and healed.
When she finally woke up, she found some clothing on the chair where Willow had sat, and breakfast on a table beside her. Considerate aren't they, even after I was magically pushed into a wall. She got up and limped over to the clothes. Faith picked them up and stripped off a hospital looking nightgown and put on the new clothing. Even though they were not her style but they'd have to do for now.
Suddenly she found her stomach growling from the lack of food. 'Okay, okay. Breakfast first then to find Willow' The rogue looked at her stomach and frowned. 'Always the party pooper.'
The slayer limped back over to the bed and munched on some bacon and toast. 'Okay, now to see Willow' She finished up a piece of toast, ignoring her own mental protests at her need to find the wiccan. Casually leaning on the stairwell, she heard voices coming from downstairs.
"Giles, what are we going to do? I mean, you know, Faiths here and shes...different..less Faith 'I'm five by five' cool. But shes.. here.. why is she here? This isn't easy, and this added bit is just really not helping my situation at all" Willow gasped and slumped down into a comfy chair, looking to her mentor and friend for help.
"Willow, we have to be nice, she may have changed but she's still sensitive, even the Faith in Sunnydale was sensitive, abet she didn't want that to be seen. It was still there, and it's still here to this day."
The watcher wore an grey overcoat because of the non-stop rain in England over the past days. "Now, if there are any problems just phone me and I'll be here as fast as possible." Giles sighed and glanced sadly at Willow "Give her a chance..? Please? You of all people know the need for a extra chance, your not one to judge" He gave her a stern but loving look.
The redheaded beauty frowned and gave in. A thoughtful expression washed over her face. "Fine, but one mistake and shes gone."
The watcher smiled. "Good, if that's all I can get from you, I'll take it. Remember, I'll be at the covens retreat a few miles away. You know where to find me." He turned around and opened his umbrella while walking outside into the rain, leaving Willow alone.. in a house.. with Faith.
Willow got up and closed the door behind him, turning around she screamed at the person before her.
Faith looked scared, more scared than she thought she ever was in her life. Unconsciously during Willow and Giles's conversation she had walked down the stairs and was closer to Willow then she thought. Quickly, out of reflex she covered Willows mouth with her hand.
"Hey, shhh Red" Once the slayer made sure Willow wasn't going to scream again, she removed her hand. "It's just me" Faith backed away from Willow like a puppy just yelled at and looked down.
Willow panted, trying to catch her breath. Putting her hand on her chest, she gasped. "Oh my goddess, you scared me. Oh! I'm sorry." She looked at Faiths soft, yet sad expression as she stood a few feet away. "I-I.. guess I scared you to" She laughed a bit and Faith smiled. "I'm not used to many people around here"
"Nah, it's okay Red." Faith stood still, her eyes glued to the tiles on the floor.
'Hmm, shes gone back to called me Red instead of Willow' The wiccan pondered, looking at Faith intently.
Faith shifted uncomfortably, looked up and realized that Willow was staring at her. Under the redheads stare she looked back down and blushed. 'Shes looking at me, shes so cute. I wouldn't mind snuggling with her in the morning after a little lov-AH! I can't think that!' Horrified at her thoughts, the slayer's blush went even redder.
She looked horror stricken "Excuse me-wil-willow" Faith stuttered, turned around and dashed up the stairs and into her room. With a resounding BAM the door was shut.
