*It began as innocent curiousity, though Wesley would be the first to admit "innocent" is not a word recently applied to himself, and his stronger than most curiousity has gotten him into some serious predicaments before, but as he examines the recently extracted tooth, he finds himself lost in a wave of regret that can only be the effects of his personal torment from Level 1. He thinks of his childhood, his schoolmates, his mentors, his first assignment upon graduation...Faith. And Buffy. And of more recent losses, failures, dismissals...
His reverie is cut into by a somewhat familiar sounding shriek- could that possibly be Snape? Is he in trouble? He thinks no further, wields the tooth, and runs headlong toward the sound of melee.
Wesley had spent the last two years of his life honing the weapons and hand to hand training he'd received at the Watcher's Academy. He'd gained confidence and a hard edged determinaton after so many years of failure. He had moved from ungainly, uncoordinated clutz to a deadly extention of his weapons, so it very much surprises him when he missteps as he lunges for the attacking shade and manages to imbed the fearsome demon's tooth firmly in another large carcass very like the one the fang formerly belonged to*
