OOC: continuation of a conversation with Faith. First part is here"I hear you on the simpler days," he says, shaking his head. "When it was just Dad and Sam and me -- hell, when it was even just me and Sam before this whole thing really ramped up -- but it was always ramping, that was the problem

It doesn't take a genius to see that this is personal for him, and that there are key points he's leaving out. She has experience with trust issues though, so she leaves it alone for the moment. Doesn't mean she won't bring it up later if she thinks its relevant, since there's actually going to be a later now. She catalogs everything he's already said away to share with Giles since it's a hell of a lot more than they already knew, and waits for him to continue.

"When I was four my mother died -- demon killed her. She was from a family of hunters and . . . well, she was one of those people that Azazel got a special feeling about, and long story short he came and poisoned my brother, and killed her. My dad, he wasn't the type to take that lightly. So we grew up huntin, and then Sam went off to college, and then a lot of shit went down with the upside of this: Dad died, Sam was one of those kids the demon bastard tried to pit against each other, and Sam was killed and I, uh, made a deal that brought him back." He clears his throat. "Lilith comes in now. She's set herself up against Alastair, so she's against anyone who was in his camp. And while Sam isn't -- and the demon's kids were in that camp, so she was against us. The cross-roads demons work for her, making deals and gathering souls, and I -- I did it. So a year later Sam's still alive and I'm in Hell, and Lilith is walking around, getting herself ready to start breaking the Seals, maybe thinkin' that Satan himself is locked

Damn if everything doesn't click into place right then and there. Family is involved and he's protecting his brother. He's looking at her and he's close to pleading with those eyes, almost like he's trying to will her to understand. He really doesn't have to work that hard.

She shrugs and grabs the bottle from him. "So your brother has a little demon in him. No big, so do I. Essence of demon, missing ingredient in every non slayer." She pauses to take a hit of whiskey before addressing the big issue.

"So Angels actually exist huh? Who woulda thought." She supposes it's not that unusual when considering all the nasty shit thats out there, but to know there really is a higher power, someone pulling the strings-- its a scary concept. Especially if they apparently can't get their shit together.

"Huh." Explains a lot, really, about the myth of the Slayer -- demon blood brings power, and does interesting things when mixed with human blood
