( it's a day or two after she comes back from the dead that Kate stands at the doorway of Faith's room, leaning against the frame, hands draped loosely at her sides.
some might have spent some time building up to what they really wanted to say, filling the air with smalltalk and what have you.
there's no need for ceremony, though. )
Couple of months ago, someone managed to surprise the gods. Brought in things from their world. ( oh boy. ) Monsters, mostly. Thought it might have had summat to do with The Door and tried to help them strengthen their powers. Didn't really work.
( remember that little thought about asking Kate about the monsters? there's your answer, Faith. )

( why do they have a Crow why does she not know anything about them having a Crow WHY DOES A CROW NEED A BED. so many questions. none of which are relevant at this point in time so let's move on. )
Aye.
( and, after a moment; ) You know that weird chunk of city over th' river?
( the one where all the sirens go off. ) That's all we got for it.
( that and a few dead people. )

[ Ah... that was easier than he thought it'd be. It shows how much he expects from people lately. But he will not complain, even if he was ready to actually say please if Faith refused... Oh well.
Unlike her, however, he's not in a very good place. Not to say he hasn't come to terms that Kate is alive and well, but that hardly is just the tip of the iceberg, he's thrown away everything he had worked towards so far, and he doesn't want it back. But Kate had asked him to do this, and maybe, it was something he wanted to do as well.
Shadow waits for her, impatiently, he's got only so much time before Henry decides to track him down again after all. She may easily spot him—he's the black and red hedgehog!—actually sitting on one of those tall stools at the bar. A glass filled with an amber drink rests in front of him.
He's been wondering for the past ten minutes if he's going to need it or not... ]

[ He looks at her briefly, then back at his drink, which he pokes. He gives a silent sight—here goes nothing. ]
I have been informed that you have... feelings and that I probably have hurt them.
[ ... That's a start. ]

It was the truth... Was it not?
[ Nasty or not, they could have done much more. After he says that, he shakes his head quickly as if scolding himself. ]
Ah--I'm not... [ good at this... Yeah, he needs the help. He downs the contents of his glass and grimaces at it. This is hard, Faith, please be patient. ]
I suppose I should apologise for that too.
[ He's trying. Trying counts, right? ]
