my body is a cage that keeps me from dancing

[attitude]

Ten days is enough to change a lot. Faye's hit the gym every single day since her encounter with the spider woman, and hit it hard, making sure to build up strength and endurance in preparation for the exploring she was about to do in Darrow. Whatever time wasn't spent on the workout was put towards research, gathering of materials, and pointed questions posed to those who lingered around Semele's.

She's still green, but feeling pretty good about her chances these days.

The problem is that she gives off the air of someone trying hard, and so it becomes a little more difficult to lure people her way. It's a little frustrating at first, until she finally figures out that maybe the trick is to tackle the problem in the opposite direction. Be the one lured, instead of the one luring.

Before heading out of the bar with a man she suspects to be a vampire, Faye ducks into the bathroom, calling the brilliant bastard. When someone picks up, Faye doesn't wait for the greeting.

"How close are you to Obsidian right now?" she asks.

If it isn't Owen on the phone, at least the questions being asked probably won't be about that kind of hunting.

He's considered it. It'd be a lie to say that he hasn't. But he's a male, so Owen reckons that it'd be wrong for him to not consider it with her wearing leather and holding him in close, even if it was a part of their act. Even now, he's tempted. Maybe she doesn't mean what it sounds like she means, but even so, Owen's not unconvinced that he couldn't turn all that around in the end if he wanted.

But the first thing that comes to his mind is Tosh. It's weird, because he's not used to it, especially not in instances such as these. Already, he's toeing the line with all this, and even just inviting her back for a beer probably wouldn't go over well.

"Think I can probably make it alright on my own," Owen replies, though there's nothing bitter or hostile in his tone, "Took out a vampire already, so I think I can manage anything else between here and there."
