[A little after Dean's video, Faith appears on screen. She's behind the bar, same as last time, though there's no alcohol in sight. She has a smile on her face, as she twirls a pewter mug on the tip of her finger.] So B left the building, huh? Bet Dean's pretty happy with the little souvenir I ordered up from the Admiral, too. Should have some nice picks of blondie in there. Something for the whole fan club to fawn over.

But hey - guess that's one less nag I've got to worry about for Christmas Not exactly like she would have enjoyed her gifts anyway, right? Nothing's enough for the Slayer

Which is - wait - my title now, huh? I mean, what with miss perfect gone, and I'm the only Slayer left. Anyone up for a spar? Sunnydale's strongest, right here.

[She tosses the mug up, and catches it. The pewter cracks in her hand, splinters digging.]

Shit.

Be the first. [She doesn't look at Steph.]

[ Steph props a foot on the thing's head. The CTS senses that they're done, and the head disappears. ]

I'm here, aren't I?

[She shrugs, arms crossing self consciously.] Yeah. Noticed that.

So what more do you want from me?

[ The rest of the holograms disappear and Steph wonders if they should leave. But Bruce is waiting outside, and this isn't a conversation she wants to have in front of someone else. ]

Maybe a bit more support?

You bring me here to talk, or lecture? [Defensive. It's what she does.]

To lecture, actually. Because you can't just say what you said. There are consequences. [ Getting lectured is one of them. ]

Why am I not surprised? [her arms were folded about her, stubbornly - attempting at defiant. But there was a haunted, nigh defeated look in her eyes, before she squeezed them shut.]

What exactly am I supposed to say? She left. I supposed to celebrate the mess she went back to? Her thinking we're enemies again?

Did anyone ever tell you if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all? If not, I can tell you the solution is not to say something awful. You want to hurt her? Fine, that's your choice. But don't take it out on the people who care about her.

You done yet, BG? 'Cause I don't think there's much else to say. [She's not in the mood to hear this.]

[ She pauses a moment. No, that's pretty much what she wanted to say. And obviously Faith isn't going to listen to much else. ]

Yeah, I'm done.

[ And with that she turns and leaves, marching out of the CTS without even looking at Faith or Bruce. ]
