[ Buffy isn't even sure she wants to do this. Faith had been a hell of a copilot, sure. Between the two of them, they'd racked up four kaiju kills in a short few years. And they'd been rewarded for it with publicity and fame. They were LA's own jaeger-piloting dolls, and Faith had eaten it up like candy. She'd always had a little too much of a sweet tooth.
It doesn't do Buffy any good to dwell on it, that's for sure. But knowing that she's got to go through the drift compatibility bullshit with a bunch of candidates tomorrow isn't sitting well for her. It's been months since Faith got lost in the drift, since she'd gone way out of alignment in the middle of the fight. Someone else had had to swoop in and save their butts, and Faith...had never really come out of it. And maybe Buffy hadn't, either. She doesn't really know if she's ready for this.
So she's not in the mood for Flirty McHandsomepants, even with emphasis on the handsome. Her eyebrows go way up, and she gives him a tight smile. ]
Tsingtao. Over there.
[ She slides off the stool, grabbing her beer. She just came here for a drink, okay? Okay, she didn't come her for a drink alone, but she's not even sure Will's going to make it at this point. ]
