One in every generation - once she dies, the next one's called. There's two right now, though. It's complicated.

[It's probably more than he needs, the explanation that Buffy died - briefly, technically - so another Slayer was called, that one was killed, and then the torch passed to Faith. Meanwhile, Buffy is still alive and well and fighting the good fight.]

I... probably wouldn't try to fight Faith if I were you.

[Well, actually. She's not at all surprised that that is exactly what Savage wants to do, but she doesn't want to see either of them get hurt.]

[opress]

If there's two, that means one died but didn't die correctly? [Trench had taught him a thing or two about death being wishy-washy.] I expect that they team up for better results, or is it more of a competition between them?

[He cocked his head a little, filing the name away. He hadn't heard many people around these parts with a name like that, so this slayer should be easy enough to find with some digging.]

Faith. A good strong name full of conviction. I like it.

[On his planet, there was a lot to be said about the strength of one's name. Now he wanted to throw down with her ever more, though he'd keep the impulse in check for now.]

[frogfear]

[He's got it exactly it, and it probably shouldn't be a shock.]

Yeah, actually. She technically died, but one of our friends managed to revive her. I guess it was still long enough, though, for the next one to be called.

[Willow smiles a little when he says he likes the name, and nods.]

Yeah. She's a strong person, and a good friend.

[She never thought she'd see the day when she'd call Faith Lehane a friend, let alone a good one, but Trench has changed a lot of things.]

[opress]

You have revival magics in your world? Death is always the entity that so many fight against but have no ability to master. [Which made Trench rather confusing. He still existed as if he only had one life, and he wasn't keen to die again.

Ah yes, Willow and all her friends. She seemed to have a lot of them, which was - as far as he was concerned - a very human trait. They liked the company of others and trusted far too deeply to be healthy.]

So you don't want me to fight your friends, right?

[frogfear]

Well, we do... but that's not what happened to Buffy then.

[Not that time anyway, but that is a story for another time.]

This was just good old fashioned first aid. Our friend got her back with CPR, but her heart had stopped and she wasn't breathing, so she was technically dead, and that was enough, apparently.

[And yes, she is attached to her friends, and does not want them hurt. Including Savage.]

Yeah, I'd rather you didn't. I mean, that's not something that sounds likely to end well for anyone.

[opress]

Ah, basic healing techniques. Those worked and she was normal after?

[He had seen such techniques for kits that had drowned particularly, but they were never seemingly quite right after the fact if enough time had passed. It wasn't call CPR on his planet, but he knew what she meant based on the description of the ailment.

It wasn't a surprise that she didn't want him to fight her friends, what with her being mostly peaceful and such.]

Sparring doesn't end with death.

[frogfear]

Yeah, she was. It was rough for awhile, but it worked out.

[It's said with a nod. The death had been traumatic, of course, but Buffy had recovered well from it in the end. Nothing Willow would consider out of the norm, especially not after her time between Deerington and Trench.]

Yeah, I mean, if you want to spar with her, you could ask her, I guess.

[opress]

I suppose your world better off for having two slayers.

[As far as he was concerned, every world would be better off with more warriors. If anything, if these slayers were god-touched, they could be a challenge to fight.

However, he wasn't in the mood to making Willow angry because he had a curiosity of fighting. It wasn't worth his time at this point, though sparring with set rules seemed to be on the table. He'd consider it.]

I could, yes. Different fighting styles improve everyone all around.

[frogfear]

[It's a long story, and a lot of it isn't Willow's to share. It's up to Faith to decide who she wants to know about her alliance with the Mayor.]

Yeah. I mean, granted it's a big wide world out there. Lots of space for more than one Slayer to fight evil in their own way, right?

[She nods. It's a fair point. There's probably plenty Faith and Savage could learn from sparring with each other.]

It probably wouldn't hurt to ask her, sure.

[opress]

[He was still debatable about the notion of good and evil. They had similar representation when it came to light and dark sides of the Force, but both had a place in culture and life in general. As a Dark Side user, he would be considered evil he supposed.]

It seems that way. There is a place for that evil too, I expect. How do the people of the light expect to be their best without it to fight against?

[He nodded his head. He'd consider it.]

Fine. I will later.
