( continues...) realized how distracted he must be.
“Yeah,” said Oz. “You OK?”
“The burns weren’t as bad as they looked, and I heal fast.”
“Slayer healing powers. I’ve seen it before.”
“Yeah.”
There was a lingering silence. Which, thought Oz, was the norm for the two of them, both being the taciturn sort as they were.
“Are we coming back from this, tomorrow?”
Oz thought about it.
“Wish I knew,” he said. “I plan to.”
“That’s good,” said Justine. “Honest.”
“Yeah.”
She stepped closer, and looked at the picture of Willow.
“She’s pretty.”
Oz smiled, but was doing a terrible job of hiding all the pain behind the smile, and Justine knew it.
“You should go to bed,” he said. “Big day tomorrow.”
“Possibly our last day.”
Justine took the file from Oz, and closed it. Tentatively, she raised her palm to his cheek. She practically towered over him.
“Justine,” said Oz, but then he stopped, and she was kissing him.
And for a moment, the night and the battles and the fear fell away.
I adore Ethan.
Me too. I've only gotten to use him a couple times, and he always gets the funny bits.
Of course, one needs to remember when writing him that he really is dangerous and not just comic relief.
Maybe Wesley....glasses....but it feels Calebish to me.
Plus Wes is pretty dead--though that's never counted for anything.
I don't see Wes as a Gershwin hummer.
Okay -- on re-read much more Caleb-like.
Also, so Justine was a potential who came into her powers through Willow's spell. . . cool.
Too bad that Dru couldn't have done the same.
Maybe Wesley....glasses....but it feels Calebish to me.
Hmmm.
Too bad that Dru couldn't have done the same.
My gut suspicion is that any potential that was already dead and vamped din't get activated. But still.... Hmmm....
It's funny, everyone's speculating about one thing, when I can see at least two other equally pressing questions to be asking. Hmmm. Maybe I need to expand in some areas...
I think it's the mayor.

Is it? Is it? But I hope Faith isn't really Bad Girl all over again, because I enjoyed her character arc in the show and making her bad again...well, we'll see. I trust Victor. Yes.
