I'm suggesting that perhaps your Watcher system stymies you more than you Slayers like to discuss. You don't like being told what to do, not anymore than I do.
Please, Faith. Lord Byron! Flattery can only blind me so much.
If you were trying to kill me, you might want to upgrade from stakes. Surely you've caught on that I'm not created the same way as those other vampires you're so fond of hunting down. So, yes, if we're playing with nonlethal toys - a gun would at least be exciting. They're so noisy! Wouldn't you rather witnesses came to watch?
You're not going to hear me argue about the Watchers. Most of them are certified assholes.
But flattery does blind you, a little? Hmm. Consider that noted. [She really should just stop talking to him. It's a mistake to entertain any of this right now, but she can't seem to help herself.]
I could go medieval? No guns. Not stakes. Just go all out with a fucking sword. I've found decapitation works on most everything. And no, I don't really want an audience, my exhibitionist tendencies don't stretch quite that far.
Which one is yours, again? Are you still borrowing Buffy's?
Of course it does. Is our next scuffle going to end early when you give me a glowing book review? [ A self-aware joke? This conversation is officially going Strangely Well. Maybe Faith isn't the only one who should quit while they're ahead.
But then, neither of them are good at being quitters, are they? ]
Ah, you're getting warmer. And what about for my part? Are the fangs enough, or shall I bring along a sword as well? What a lovely picture we're painting here.
You sure know a lot about mine and Buffy's business. Stalker, much? Guess I don't really have a Watcher right now, other than Giles, so yeah. I'm 'borrowing'.
Maybe it will! Except you'd have to know it was a lie. I'm not much of a reader.
If you want a sword too, bring it on. I imagine you're old enough that you'd know a thing or two about sword fighting. You kind of seem like a rapier kind of guy.
Your friends aren't very quiet, and neither are you. I suppose we're all prone to our flash and pomp.
Of course you are! Texting surely counts. It's nearly its very own language, with the way your age group communicates through it.
You're more right than you know. [ Or perhaps she does know. Again, tell-all autobiography, whether or not she's actually read it. Surely Giles has poured over the damn thing looking for weaknesses for everyone to exploit. ] Although rapiers are a bit too delicate and fussy to wield, beautiful though they are. When I was mortal, I was partial to the kind of sword you'd probably think of if merely prompted about them - broader, flat, hefty.
Says the guy who's all flash and pomp. I guess you would know.
Kids these days. We're the worst. ;)
[She knows. Faith might not be a great learned mind or anything, but she does listen and she's not a complete idiot. She is idiot enough to keep talking to him, however, despite everything Giles had told her.] I own a couple broadswords, so I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm more partial to katanas myself. Quicker, sleeker, less clunky.
