Faith acknowledged it with a slight nod, moving around to get to the coffee maker herself. She needed caffeine, weirdly she'd drunk so much of the stuff over recent years that she actually found it calmed her nerves, offered her an alertness and a focus that she could guess that she would need rather a lot of in the next few minutes.
"Why not?" She offered Buffy a weak, crooked smirk over her shoulder as she waited for the coffee to filter through. "I mean, really, we've been doing a pretty good job of pretending this doesn't exist for the last several months, why can't we just do it indefinitely?"
It was a rhetorical point and they both knew it. The truth was, Faith had been putting off even asking about who was on her team for months, making up the gaps by just making her own patrols larger. All to avoid getting to this conversation and what would inevitably lead to another punch to her face.
Just for a moment she glanced at the freezer, wondering if there was going to be any ice for her face in there.
With a sigh she turned around, leaning against the counter with a blank expression.
