Waling into his room he sat down in his chair and resumed his usual brooding expression, Carver showing up had done more then upset him, he was down right livid, how dare he try and warn him off like some common thug. Then again, Angel had launched this personal cursade against the law firm, he felt it was justifed for what they did to Darla. He had been sticking it to them a little more then usual in recent times but he figured if he was going to stay away, then he wanted to get the message across he wasn't going to stay down for too long.

"I'm just sorry we won't be able to find out we could have had"
Faith almost let the door close in her face. Just before the latch clicked, she put her hand out and slowly opened it again, walking softly into the room to see Angel sitting, looking depressed. A skill he'd honed over the decades.
"You sure about that? Don't you even want to try?" She asked feeling a little dejected.

He shrugged, only half looking at her "I want to it's just, I don't think I'd ever be truely happy" he shook his head, sounding confused "Not because of you, it's this curse, you know what'll happen if we.." he stopped himself and looked out the window, why did everythig just have to get oh so complicated when he was beginning to enjoy himself.

She let out a frustrated sigh and came across the room to sit on the arm of his chair. Angel was still avoiding her gaze. She put her hand on the side of his face and turned it gently towards her.
"I get it. You've been here before and things went badly." She paused wondering whether or not to say what she was about to.
"But I'm not Buffy."

Faith was right, she wasn't Buffy, perhaps that's why he was so apprehensive. He wanted so much just to take her in his arms and kiss those lips of hers but right now he had some injuries to recover from and assault on Wolfram & Hart to plan out, something he did not want Faith invovled in. He looked back at her, she believed they could have a future together but before he even considered being with her, he had to get rid of the shadow Wolfram & Hart had looming over him.
"I know" he said taking her hand from his face and holding it "I just need to think about a few things first"

Faith gave his had a squeeze.
"Look, i'm not in a hurry for anything to happen. You've got more important things to think about right now."

He nodded and let go, as hard as it was for him. He stood up and suddenly realised he wasn't wearing a shirt, he feltslightly embarressed and he walked to his wordrobe and opened it, hoping to find another vest, not finding one he shook his head "Never mind I'll just walk around semi naked for a while"

A smile crept across Faith's features. "Hey, no need to dress on my account."

He laughed softly and checked the banagde Faith had applied, he looked up at her "Thanks for fixing this up"

"Yeah, well...since I made the hole in the first place, kinda had to patch it up." She put her hand against the bandage, making sure it was still stuck down.
"Just don't pick at it."

"I won't" he stood there, not saying anything, enjoying the silence they where having together "You should get some rest or something to eat" he didn't want to change the subject and he made it sound like he wasn't trying to get rid of her, truth was, he wasn't. As he closed the doors of his wordrobe, he noticed a sledge hammer tucked away in the back, his mind became filled with visisons of busting Carver's skull open. He narrowed his eyes for a brief second them lookedback at Faith "I'm glad you weren't hurt"

"You should get some rest or something to eat"
"I'm too wired to sleep, but now I know you got a full fridge, I may just make use of it." Her mind wandered to peanut butter again.
"I'm glad you weren't hurt"
Faith rubbed her throat a little. "You and me both." Her voice became a little harder. "I swear to god if I see that guy again I'm gonna take his other eye."

He nodded "You won't have to see him again" he said sounding oddly sinister, already the formations of his plans coming together but first, he needed to check on Wesley, see how the Banshee case was coming along.

She frowned. Angel was hiding something and if she knew him like she thought she did, he wanted retribution. She got the impression he wanted a little time to himself. After all, she'd been with him pretty much all day, and look how well that had gone.
"Well... I'm gonna take your advice, and get me something to eat." She headed for the door, wishing there was something she could say to make him feel better.

He watched her leave and he nodded "Alright, well, I'm notgoing anywhere, so if you feel likecoming here to sleep again, you're perfectly welcome" he stepped away from the wordrobe and sat back in his chair. He should just kiss her one last time but he knew it wouldn't feel right, so much for a happy ending.
