TYG & Aph, I left out something in my earlier post.
I wanted to say that it's my opinion Faith changed a lot after her epiphany on Angel in Season 1's "Five by Five" and "Sanctuary", her imprisonment and her redemption as a hero in Season 4's "Salvage", "Release" and "Orpheus" which directly proceeded her Season 7 Buffy appearances.
When Buffy was "voted out" by the Potentials, Faith became a leader by default and learned how difficult it was to be in command. She became more conscious of what her actions could do, and having been a loner all her life, she needed support, even if it was just a quickie with Principal Wood. As TYG indicated, her character growth showed she had come to feel for him, when in the past, as you said, she would have dumped him.
In "Chosen", I think that she was more concerned that Wood's wounds weren't life-threatening, and she was relieved and happy when he played the "dead" prank on her. I don't really think she would have continued the relationship beyond making sure he got medical aid.
I'll go along with TYG on having Faith relation-free for the Season 8 comic. Unless, of course, its with you, Aph
