Milli- Connor's room - well, just outside it

[h2_muses]

Connor steps out of his room for the second time this morning (and it's a lot earlier than he'd intended) - his previous exit had been for to his sojourn into Faith's room to collect all of her things. That had been an unpleasant trip and he had had to fight himself very hard to not do something rash. Now, he is on his way down into the bar to get some food, some coffee, maybe chocolate… whatever. As he steps out of the room, the young lady from a couple days ago is coming down the hall.

"Dawn, yes?" he asks.

"Okay. I'm going downstairs for a bit if you want anything."

She shakes her head. "No. Thanks." She's quiet a moment, then, she spits a name: "Angelus."

Connor stiffens, but tries not to let her see how angry that name makes him. "What did he do?" he asks, attempting to keep his voice even.

"Bad. Pretended to be Angel. Did stuff. Please don't make me tell it again. Not now." Her eyes are gazing, unfocused, across the hallway.

"No. I won't. Here." He stands and extends a hand to help her up. "Come on, now. You're exhausted. Get some sleep. I'll check on you in a few hours."

She's so tired, she's nearly forgotten she didn't want to be touched and lets him help her up, but retracts her hand quickly. "Sorry. I'm okay. I'm going to bed. I don't need anything right now. Thank you." She seems very disconnected and distant as she moves to the door, unlocks it and lets herself in. The door closes behind her and the lock clicks into place.

He watches her go, then heads down into the bar to get some 'stuff'.
