Oh, but she could fall into that mess and the rush.
It's familiar; somehow comforted by the chaos where she can stuff away her own thoughts and make herself feel more and less human all at the same time.
So when he does pull back to ready himself, and offers yet another assurance, Faith doesn't protest or peacock about being tough and unbreakable. The truth is that she's already been broken too many times for any more cracks to matter.
She finds herself nodding, once, before reaching down to wriggle cotton off of her own hips. Her knees decide to make things difficult, and for a brief moment the clumsiness seems to become Faith's as the woman beneath the soldier is revealed. She chuckles, low, before her hips shift and she flings the underwear away and off her foot.
Then her hands move to smooth over Athos' chest, her legs move around him to box him in and get him to dive back into the chaos with her. Insistent and more needy than she'd like. Desperate for contact.
