Yeah, I mean... I get it. I don't know, have you asked Bones or Ozpin about it? There might be some solution. [She shrugs. She's not exactly an optimist but she figures Willow needs the boost at least.]

I think it's just that she's... not here. Whenever we were there together, neither of us could really say whose mind we were in, hers or mine, the only thing I was sure of was that we were both having the same dream. [It still doesn't surprise her that Buffy kept that to herself. She wonders, internally, if Willow ever figured out that she was lying when she said she didn't get off on murder.] I still get Slayer dreams. Had a couple about the Leviathan.

She's just wholly absent, I guess. It's weird.

I haven't asked our friend here, no. A bunch of us at home are already working on it, though, and Ozpin's looking into it too. We'll figure it out, though. It's just taking longer than I'd like.

[It makes an odd amount of sense, not being able to tell whose mind they were in, or whose dream it started out as. Even Buffy's absence from Faith's dreams now seems reasonably able to be explained away.]

That'd be my guess - why Buffy's not in your dreams now, I mean. That it's because there's now a whole different world separating the two of you.

Well... you'd been working on regaining your magic for a while too. This is rich as fuck coming from me, but you just sort of have to be patient with these things. [She shrugs.

She nods along to Willow's explanation, giving one last parting glance to the statue.] Yeah. Guess so...

Well... there's a whole lot more around this place. Feel like taking a tour? You know more landmarks than I do.

[frogfear]

Oh, I know... I feel like forgetting everything means I lost a lot of ground on the magic front too.

[She lets out a sigh. She's trying not to feel discouraged, but it certainly hasn't been easy by any stretch. Faith is right, though, she knows the situation calls for an infinite amount of patience. It doesn't make it easy.

She tears her attention away from the statue, and nods.]

Yeah, let's go take a look around. Maybe we can even find some stuff that got left behind or something.
