faith lehane ⊥ open
[ faith's making her way in and out; the goal here is to chat with buffy for a second and then get back to her place to take a scalding shower and a bottle of aspirin. the headache she's sporting is sticking, and it's refusing to go anywhere.
even the few shots she's had aren't helping. the masses of garish costumes and chit-chat aren't helping either.
but she looks different; not so much in face and build than in her demeanor. faith moves with purpose instead of skulking and trying to avoid interaction. she makes eye contact, she's less shifty -- aside from the obvious god-this-headache-is-going-to-kill-me pain, there's a more peaceful aura around her. ]
