Who: Faith Lehane & training students & OTA
Where: Sparring Facility, Angel Investigations, a room on a floor of your choosing!
When: Aug/Sep Catch-all
Rating: PG-13, could increase
Summary: Faith is not handling her anniversary in Wonderland very well.
The Story:
faith usually asks her trainees for an extra few punches, higher kicks, or harder throws. she makes it clear that the name of the game is to walk out feeling better than when you came in, sure. but this month she takes people at their word when they tire out, instead of asking for more.
her movement's still crisp but she doesn't hit or push as hard as normal. the threshold varies per person, a mental note in faith's head to tell her who needs her to throttle back less or more. ]
when faith exits, it's with freshly-made bruises and drying blood that she hasn't quite cleaned up all the way. a sheen of sweat covers her, and she's pushing her hair out of her face like it's personally affronted her. ]

The Story:
sparring facility
[ she's going easy on everyone.faith usually asks her trainees for an extra few punches, higher kicks, or harder throws. she makes it clear that the name of the game is to walk out feeling better than when you came in, sure. but this month she takes people at their word when they tire out, instead of asking for more.

hallway, pick a floor any floor
[ she comes here weekly, to this unmarked door, but it's not her room.when faith exits, it's with freshly-made bruises and drying blood that she hasn't quite cleaned up all the way. a sheen of sweat covers her, and she's pushing her hair out of her face like it's personally affronted her. ]
no subject
when angel says it that way, she can't help but look over at him. faith's brow furrows with confusion again, at just the prospect that she'd had a hand in her own life. had she actually fought against dead girl? could she have won that battle despite the voice being so loud? ]
Yeah. I didn't. [ her eyes drop again. ] So why do I still feel like I flunked it?
no subject
[This much, he says from experience. There's a knowing edge to his voice, his own brows drawing downward, gaze darkening.
Faith isn't the only one who has another self to contend with, a part of her that she'd rather she didn't find herself at war with.]
It's hard to deal with the fact that the ugly parts are still us. We can't change the fact that they're there beneath the surface. What we can change is how much control we give them. You didn't give in. Doesn't sound like flunking to me.
