[ His lips twitch at late Christmas present; it's a funnier joke than she knows. ]

Sounds like you really took it in stride. I'm lucky to have an expert on hand.

[ He means it, is the thing: it's the same tone with which he'd complimented her kicking skeletons clean across the beach. ]

So, professional opinion, you think we'll find more of these still up and roaming? I'd be interested to see them work.

[slayerskiss]

[She smiles more genuinely, only a bit bashful. She's felt at multiple points like being a Slayer isn't as big a deal as it was in Sunnydale, or LA, or Boston. So the praise does make her feel proud.] Yeah, well. You hired the best, you get the best.

[She almost laughs at "professional opinion", even if it's not exactly wrong. It's always the Watchers who refer to themselves that way. Maybe because they actually get paid.]

Banshees? I doubt I drove the whole population into extinction by shooting one in the face, no. They don't seem super common but it didn't seem like the monster was some never before seen kind of thing for the locals either. I'm sure there'll be more screaming women in the sea.

I can try and bring you a live one next time, if you want. [She sees no ethical problems with this.]

[necrolord]

[ That's useful, because John's relationship with ethical problems has been funny for a couple thousand years now. Or longer.

Or always. ]

Could you? I'd love to get a sense of what necromancy means to them... how my work differs from the thing they do. Could teach me a bit about how Trench regards this sort of power.

[slayerskiss]

Yeah, sure. [She's not even sure it is necromancy, but Faith's not exactly confident in her magic nerd status.]

Seems like you're learning a lot about how Trench works. Any specific plans, or just general wizard curiosity?

[necrolord]

[ He cracks a sharper smile at wizard, as though she's told a joke. She has no way to know it's only ever said to his people as insult, or that no one dares say it to him. ]

Anything to give us a bit of a handle on the chaos. Figuring out the hows and whys is a good start.

[slayerskiss]

[He's full of weird reactions today. Unsure of what she said that was funny, Faith presses on.]

Well... if you need anything for that, you just gotta call me. Maybe there's some way to stop the specific effects.

Had to do a whole... confession to Ange last month. Sucked.
