The dreams wouldn't stop. Ever since since the day she'd made it through the Labyrinth with River, every night had been the same. Being who she was, she tried to ignore it. She had her pride, after all, and she'd told Snape that he was insane for the things he'd claimed. But about at least one thing, he must have been right. Having prophetic dreams was a real drag sometimes, she decided. She didn't really like being bossed around by anyone, not even her own dreams.

It was pointless, though. She'd learned that over the years. It wouldn't go away until she gave in and did what her dreams wanted. So she set her jaw firmly and set out as soon as she woke up. The weather sort of suited her mood, dark and dreary. Of course, she didn't really have any idea where to find the taciturn wizard that she sought. The dreams might pester her into doing this, but they wouldn't really help her once she'd decided to do it.

Still, it wasn't that hard to figure it out. Grab a goblin (literally) and make it show her the way. She was more than strong enough to hold the struggling creature, and it made an excellent guide, once it figured out that was the only way to get rid of her. It led her to the aquarium, and she gave it a bit of a skeptically curious look before walking in. She'd never been to a place like this before, since they cost money. Apparently this one didn't, though she still felt a little guilty, like she was sneaking in.

It took her about fifteen minutes to track him down. She kept getting sidetracked by the animals. She saw at least a couple of exhibits that she was sure weren't from earth. But the memories of her obnoxious dream kept her going, and soon enough, she saw the black-robed figure that she'd been expecting. With a deliberately calm, even arrogant, expression on her face, she leaned against the tank where he was standing. "So... Skeletor...you know that stuff you said about being my Watcher?"

When Snape looked away, Faith felt like she could breathe more easily. No doubt about it, she could see why he would be a very good teacher, in his own way. He wouldn't tolerate crap, obviously. Which made her wonder for a moment why he had put up with so much from her. She'd been fairly horrible to him, just because he made her feel uncomfortable. She sighed softly, and turned her gaze away from him toward the tank he was looking at, not because she gave a damn about it, but because it was easier than looking at him.

"Ten four on that one, man." She turned around, leaned casually against the wall nearby, and thought back. "Okay, so there were some demon things in the Labyrinth, some vamps, of course, and a werewolf." She considered for a moment. "Uh, mostly things I've fought were in the Labyrinth though. There was this one vamp that was getting everyone's panties in a bunch, the Ranger dude wanted me to kill him. I wouldn't though, because Schu was all into him or whatever."

Her dark head tilted to the head as she thought, and then she gave a little shrug with one shoulder. "That's about it. I ate some pie, too. That was awesome. And met this dude from the future who wanted to fuck his best friend, who was like a doctor or something. He was pretty cute. The captain guy. Did you ever see Star Trek?" She laughed suddenly. "Yeah, no. I doubt it somehow."

Snape stood beside his newly re-acquired Slayer as they both looked into the briny tank. It was a good beginning to the conversation. They did not need to look at each other for it to continue. It was enough that they were linked through their words and their object of vision.

"I see. So you slew many fiends in the Labyrinth, but have made no serious effort to destroy any demons outside of it. In fact, you have refused to slay a vampire when specially requested to do so, for personal reasons. I see. What I do not see is what pie and promiscuous doctors from the future have to do with the question I asked. Are you a Slayer or aren't you?"

Snape hoped that the slight tone of displeasure in his voice would not go unheeded. If the girl was to respect him, he had to be firm with her, and he had to be clear about his expectations. He had not lied. He was interested in an answer to his question, not in every frivolity she may have involved herself in in the meantime.

Faith frowned and shook her head. "No way, man, you make it sound all weird. It wasn't anything like that." Although anything like what, she couldn't have said. Why would she refuse to kill a vampire who she didn't know, didn't have any connection with, other than a man she'd slept with once and who she considered, in some way, almost a friend? It didn't make sense.

Of course, being who she was, she would rather not think about it, and passed it over rather easily. "No way, dude, it was just that, like, we're not allowed to kill outside the Labyrinth. Gotta follow the rules, just a good little girl, that's me." Also, it provided a comfortable excuse for why she'd done what she'd done.

"Well, anyway," She changed the subject, deciding that they'd had enough sharing time for now, "I'm gonna blow. Later." With that, she pushed away from the wall and walked off toward the door.
