*Faith wandered downstairs from her room, wearing a pale blue dress which matched her eyes and set off the dark red of her hair.*
"...Aimery?" *she called out, looking around. The young man seemed to have disappeared.*

*Brandi was startled by Faith's appearance and quickly wiped her hands on her apron.*
"Miss Faith? Are you all right?"

*Cry-Baby walked in, having fended off Loke yet again. Damn, but that witch had become a looker. But his face broke into a boyish smile at the sight of Brandi.*

"Aimery..." *she said softly.* "Ha--have you seen him?"

Oh crap. Where did I leave him?
*Brandi smiled gently and approached Faith.*
"I wasn't sure you still wanted that boy around. I know that you've been in the Philippines adjusting."

"...he's all I know, now. I don't...KNOW him but, he's familiar," *she said lamely.*

*Brandi's smile warmed and she squeezed Faith's hand.*
"Well, if he means that much to you, I'll see that he stops by. Is there anything else you need?"

*Faith shook her head shyly.*
"I just...wondered where he'd gone."
If he'd forgotten about me...found someone worth his time...someone who could remember him...
*She turned her face away to hide the tears that threatened.*

Ok, sooner rather than later. Got it.
*Brandi nodded.*
"Why don't I make some tea. He often stops by around this time of day to check on how you're doing. Today, I'll just invite him in. All right?"

"He...he was here? And he didn't come to see me?"
I knew it. He's trying to leave, but he wants to be polite.
*Somehow, this hurt her, deeply.*
You fool...you can't even remember him...
*But somehow, she felt as if her heart did.*

*Brandi sighed heavily.*
"Come on now, Faith. What do you think?"
*She gave a knowing glance.*
"The boy is crazy about you. I'm the one that thought you might want the time to yourself. I tried to keep him back far enough to let you heal on your own."
*She frowned slightly.*
"I'm sorry if I hurt you. I was only trying to help."

"...no...no, it's quite alright. I was just..."
worried.
"Wondering."

*Brandi smiled again and gave her a wink.*
"Why don't you go upstairs and freshen up, I'll put on the kettle and you'll see. We'll get everything sorted out."

*Faith nodded and went back up to her room, washing her face and combing out her hair before she braided it, though some of the wavy dark red curls sprang out from their binding and fell loosely about her pale, young, innocent face.*
