Making the Rounds

Who: Angel and Faith
What: Getting reacquainted
When: Late Night
Where: Town
Status: Incomplete

So far, it hadn't done much good. Going out. Trying to help people. Whatever was going on in this town wasn't making it easy. But Angel wasn't going to stop trying to do what he needed to do. It was a distraction as much as anything, kept his mind off the past. Sure, they'd brought down Wolfram and Hart, but at what cost? He'd lost so many people.

Angel stood still, listening. He could hear the sounds of traffic in the distance. Closer, he heard people: laughing, talking, making toasts and ordering another round. It reminded him of a life centuries ago. It only made him feel more cut off.

At the last second he heard footsteps close by. Human. Feminine, but strong. Slayer strong. He recognized them and turned to see a familiar face. "Faith." A shadow of a smile came onto his face.
