“Nah. I volunteered,” she laughed,
nudging the girl. “You been gettin’
into trouble lately, I hear. What’s
going on, squirt?”
She rolled her eyes at Faith’s comment, but still
can’t help but grin and nudge the shorter woman back.
She didn’t quite believe that Buffy wasn’t behind this,
but better to be shadowed by the cool Slayer than
someone ridiculously overprotective, like… well, pretty
much every other Scooby. Except Andrew. Maybe.
“Nothing’s ‘going on,’ Faith. I’m twenty-three; that’s a
little too old to be getting into trouble like I did back in
Sunnydale. Buffy just likes to think that if I come back
with even a scratch from a fight, I had some sort of
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE or something.”
