[ Buffy's not an idiot. She knows that things are a bit... off, between her and Faith. They weren't exactly besties back in Sunnydale, not the first time around and not the last, but they had ended things with an understanding between them, a partnership. The last of the old school Slayers, the Chosen Two who have to lead the next generation. It's been exhausting work, but knowing that Faith has been out there helping to hold the line—
It's helped in ways that Buffy hadn't expected. Maybe it's because with Spike gone, Faith is all she has left of people she can trust with what really matters. So when she finds herself back in Cleveland after an arduous trip to the UK, she makes a split second decision and plops herself in the bar where she's bound to run into her sister Slayer. And she waits.
She's waited her way through a whole drink by the time Faith arrives, which is probably why she doesn't hesitate to give a truthful answer. ]
