Xander had rubbed off some bravery on Catherine. She quivered at first but slowly regained confidence when Xander held her hand. She looked Faye dead in the eyes.
"You puny human!" Faye snapped at Catherine.
Xander stood in her way but Catherine could stand for herself.
"You dirty mutt!" Catherine snapped back.
Faye was whelmed with quite a surprise. She stepped back with rage in her eyes.
"You think you're happy? Enjoy it while it lasts." Faye scoffed.
She dashed away from their quarters.
"How rude," Catherine said. "She just barged into our room like that."
Xander smiled and pulled Catherine close.
"You said OUR room," he pouted to plant a kiss on her forehead.
This was no time to have a cute moment. At little enamor it was, it was a moment to be revered.
"But for real, hope it's gonna be alright?" She asked concernedly.
"Don't worry about it," he said. "I've got it under control."
