[As the journal opens it picks up the sound of a door shutting. She moves out of the room she'd been and down the hallway, starting an open dialog.]

You know, I never was big into all that zen, in with the good out with the bad crap, but if it would help me right now? I'd get one of those giant goldfish ponds and stare at the water.

[She holds the book in one hand, flexing her free hand at her side.]

I'm up for suggestions to work through this -- [Frustration. Upset. Anger. Take your pick.] -- whatever it is, because hitting something is pretty much my go-to thing and I'm not sure anyone wants to go a few rounds with me right now.

Steve ]

I know it's late and maybe you are dealing with your own shit, but if you want to go a few rounds, I'm probably gonna end up in the gym here in the castle.

[and she heads to the gym. as she puts her jacket on a bench, she goes back to the journal, a bit more calm.]
--

Reno ]

If you need alcohol because of those things taking it from the bar -- place I'm staying at had three bars in it. I've got plenty of backstock.

--

[She puts her journal away and centers the bag, moving to start taking out her aggression on the thing.]

[Steve isn't going to answer. He'll just throw on a pair of sweats and head for the gym. He hasn't been in the best mood lately either. He's eager for the chance to let it all out without having to worry about breaking anything. If Faith is feeling anything like he is, he'll definitely find her there.

Of course his gut feeling pays off when Steve finds Faith by the bag. He waves at her.]

Any chance you want to talk about it? [He knows neither of them would be here if they wanted that, but he has to throw it out there. You never know.]

[She puts her hand out to stop the bag from swinging, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.]

Right now? No.

Can't say I'm feeling chatty either just yet. [He's ready for those rounds when you are, Faith.]

Good. [She steps away from the bag and puts her hands up.]

You ready? [Okay, so she doesn't wait for an answer she just steps forward and throws a wild left hook at him.]

Tried drinking through it yet?

[That tends to be his default.]

Yeah. Castle doesn't have much in the way of alcohol these days. [and that's where she's at right now. at her place, in the city, she's got plenty.]

It doesn't help anyway. [She can't just get drunk and forget.]

Sorry.

[He's not sure what he would have done without the help of alcohol in recent years.]

What about beating up someone?

Next on my to-do list, but I'm not thinking it's gonna be enough.

[.....]

That bad, huh?

Yeah. Been a long week.

[She pauses.] You new here?

You could say that. [He shrugs, even though she can't see it.]

Been here a few days. Getting the hang of being in this place. Trying to figure out what the hell it was I lost.

[Good times, good times.]

Usually it's something important. It'll probably come to you eventually. Shouldn't lose sleep over it. The castle'll screw you over soon enough.

Three bars in it?

...I really hope that was a public place or I gotta worry about that last tenant who was there.

[She smirks a bit. Possibly replying to this after she kicks Steve's ass.]

It was a strip club, I think. A few levels, lots of space. No one was in it and I liked having privacy.

Oh all right.

If you don't mind sharing, I'll be happy to take it off your hands~

Well, I don't want to twist your arm or anything. No one wants you to break something. [She's still teasing.

Oh, but seriously...]

I got more than I'd be able to drink. Might as well do something with it before it does whatever alcohol does when it goes bad.

Oh c'mon, I'm sure you'd have to put some more effort than that to break my arm.

[He makes a heh noise] Fair enough, fair enough. Where should I go to pick it up?

A little bit more effort, but I don't think it'd be fun to have you wandering around with a broken arm. [a beat] If you swing by the club here, I can help you bring it back to the bar. [She'll draw a rough map to the club.]

It's this one here.

Really wouldn't, even with healing magic it takes some time to heal.

Heh, I can be by there soon~

Can I be of any assistance, Miss Lehane?

And who are you? [She doesn't just hand her name out, not that she realizes that she's talking to a secret agent.]

Agent Phil Coulson, Miss Lehane. I know your voice, we spoke when I first arrived. I looked you up...these journals come in handy once you can actually pick them up.

Huh. Yeah, they're a regular encyclopedia.

They are at that. That said...can I be of assistance, Miss Lehane?

What kind of assistance? [a beat] Are you a butler or something?
