Faith took a step forward, edging slightly closer to him. Even if her instincts were telling her to run or fight this vampire, she didn't feel in any danger. Either that or her insanely reckless side was rearing its head again.
"Then stay alive, if only to spite Spike," she grinned slightly. "Sometimes I think me being alive and one of the good guys drives Buffy more crazy than if I did give in and went evil again. Gotta admit, it's kinda fun."
Her curiosity won out and she reached out a tentative hand towards his face, wondering if the burning he described could be felt through his skin as she brushed her fingers along his jaw.
"I keep fighting because I'm too stubborn to do what a lot of people would want and give up and die," she murmured. "Lotta people that I don't like would be happy. The thought of me living and fighting must be driving them crazy and I like that." She left that part where it could work for him too unsaid.
