[She's staring at the two journals. Comparing the one to the other and not really understanding what the big deal is. The Watcher Diaries are supposed to be important and the word "Legacy" gets tossed around a lot with them. She just never got it. If something was important to a Slayer, they'd get told about it. Stick this piece of wood here. Done. This whole learn about your prey thing, well, it turns out all that does is make Faith sympathize with a few of them. Oh, and she also slept with... is sleeping with one of them. Yeah, learning about her prey wasn't exactly working out for her.]

Yeah... I totally missed something. [Someone wasn't paying much attention when all of a sudden there were two journals on the bar where she, sort of, just leaves it lying around.]

Is it a big deal that I've got two of these journal things now? 'Cuz, I'm not really into the research gig and I already did all the reading I felt like doing. [Spoiler Alert: She skimmed until she saw her name most of the time.]

So, does this mean that the new people that show up just get a new book? I mean, I can't see this place being super nice about sharing the shit it's been doing all these years. Kinda seems like it's sweepin' it all under the rug.

Not that anyone here seems to really care when things happen. [She judges all of you.] Few weeks go by and you just bitch about something else.

I've learned much of them by interacting with humanity.

Yeah? [She figures he could probably do with a bit more of that.]

Are they cool with you? Like, do they know you're an angel and all that?

I suppose that they are.

Does everyone in the castle know?

No...

[She nods, she feels kinda special being one that does know.]

What all can you do? I mean, besides the wing thing.

Why?

I told you all the stuff I can do. I figure, it's fair.

It would take too long to explain.

I don't have anything else to do today. [She shrugs]

You could give me the highlights.

I'd rather not.

Alright. [She exhales and watches him for a moment.]

If you don't wanna show me your wings, you don't have to.

I can still do that. [Cas stood up the light flickering over head as he does. He's a little uncertain, and that shows on his face but keeping his focus a broad shadowy outline of his wings spans across the room broad and tall. The light keeps flickering over head as he stretches them outward.]

[Faith rises to her feet to watch him, keeping a close eye on him. When the lights flicker she settles her hand on her elbow and when the wings present themselves, she's actually... in awe of it.

It's not that she doesn't believe in that sort of thing, but it's hard to think that there are angels and such out there.

He's real though.]

It's... [Her arms cross over her chest, taking in a breath and trying to put it into works.]

They're beautiful. [She says it extremely quietly, because she's not the sort to say things like that.]

[Cas stops, the image of his wings disappearing with the flickering of the light. He tilts his head at that, because he knows it too and mutters in an embarrassed tone:] Thank you...

[When they're gone, she turns away from him, moving to the bar and trying to avoid talking about things for a bit longer.]

[Cas follows her because he doesn't quite understand her need to be alone.]

[Her hands settle on the bar, not actually complaining that he followed her.]

Are you the only one? Where you came from, before you got here.

The only what?

Angel.

No, I have many brothers.

[She rolls her shoulder.]

We must not be from the same place.

I was already aware of that.

Yeah, well... I could hope that there was something good back home.

Maybe so, but there's something good here. [He takes her palm in his and covers the back of her hand with his opposite.]
