Re: Sam and Faith! Because he can't stay away!
"Definitely something I'm going to need to keep an eye on in future," Faith pretended to look serious for a moment, though the playful look in her eyes more than gave her away. Really, the thing she was just relieved and happy about was the fact Sam and Kennedy were getting along, at least well enough to coordinate with plans for this. They hadn't exactly hit it off brilliantly when they'd first met, and Faith was glad at the lack of headache due to them sorting their differences out or whatever had happened.
"It's not nothing," she insisted with a smile. "It's the first time someone's ever done anything for my birthday and you rock and I can't believe you even remembered, I must have mentioned the date like, once, months ago or something." Cheekily she reached out to grab whatever it was on the very top of the pile of food Xander was carrying, sneaking it away with real Slayer stealth before she grinned back at Sam. "You have an amazing brain and I love it."
Her eyes lit up at the sound of cake, remembering the terms of their bet. A cake for reaching 25, very nice. "Well consider me very impressed. And thank you. For the party, for the cake and for believing in me. You totally kick ass." Her grin grew, as a decidedly minxy look entered her eyes and she didn't even try to feign an innocent look. "That was entirely the plan. I want those thoughts in your head all night until I can get you alone and make them a reality." She bit her lip playfully before glancing at the clock on the wall. "It'll be worth it in the end."
