[ at first, the entry is quiet other than a couple bottles clinking. faith has the best coping skills in all the world, y'all. ]

So, in case anyone gives a shit the ki-- Connor Reilly's gone AWOL. Preppy coffee shop's the same.

[ more silence, more clinking, because faith would never have admitted it but connor is important to her; he's a piece of home who doesn't think she's who she used to be. and having a roommate was kind of nice, too; somebody to come home to. something to count on.

and now he's gone, his shit's gone, and her place is empty again. ]

Yeah, anyway. Whatever, he's got shit to do back in the world. Not like it matters.

[ fumble, fumble, and this part is supposed to be locked to angel but isn't. let's hear it for anger, booze, and faith being fail with computers. ]

Big guy, I-- I'm sorry, okay? And--

[ the sound of faith taking a long swig before admitting ]

It matters. He ever comes back and you tell him I said this and I'll kick your ass, but... it was nice. Living with somebody, you know? New thing for me. And you know I didn't m-- I liked him.

Anyway, whatever. Not like I can do jack about it now.

Fuck.

[ that bit was muttered. ]

Pretty sure I meant to lock that.

Guess the whole of Taxon knows there's a softer side to you now.

[ nope, she is very definitely not mocking faith. ]

I'm not Sears, Chase.

[ ffffffffffff she doesn't like being vulnerable. ]

[ ooc | sob i'm sorry for the misunderstanding! when i see italics in the meta tag like that, it's usually used to denote something being... the opposite of the text, if that makes sense? i got tripped up by that. ♥ ]

Duh. I'm just... saying it's nice. You know, that you and Connor actually bonded while he was here. I know for a fact that roommates can be fun.

[ especially if they clean after you without complaint. also, if they're a ghost, like Dennis. ]

And Connor's a great kid. It's not hard to imagine that the two of you did hit it off.

[ ooc | nah! and yes, that makes a lot of sense :D i probably shouldn't have italicized that, myself. oh well! ]

Yeah.

[ long, looooooooong beat. ]

He was-- important to me. Or whatever. He's a good kid.

[ ooc | ♥ IT IS ALL GOOD it's two am here after a long day anyway i am running on fumes, brainwise. ]

He gets that from his dad.

[ and speaking of: ] I just... I feel bad. Not just for you, but for Angel, too. Obviously. He really was happy to have his son here with him.

Yeah, so I hear.

[ pained silence, here. faith's not looking forward to this fallout from her sponsor. ] Sucks all around, I guess.

[ neither is cordelia, but it's probably unavoidable. sooner or later she's gonna have to check in with the vampire, herself. ] You gonna be all right? Because if not, I hear a trip to the mall's a great temporary cure for depression.

Not really a shopping kind of girl, Chase.

Can't hurt to try it some time. You never know; it might work for you.

Yeah, I'm thinking no.
