Cordelia had been dying to see a familiar face but the one she saw seemed... off. The look of love and relief in Fred's eyes when she reached for Cordy so quickly? It was as unexpected as the general personable way Fred was chatting on.
This wasn't the shy, apprehensive girl that Cordelia had been fleeing Plrtz Glrb. She was well put together, beaming when she did smile, and seemed entirely with it.
While Cordelia hadn't put two and two together, yet, she was willing to set it aside and return Fred's embrace. The air in this city felt so oppressive from the moment Cordelia had emerged into this world. The hug was stiff on the seer's end, lacking the affection she and Fred often shared later in their time together back in LA. But Cordelia let it linger nonetheless until Fred pulled back and started talking.
"Old?" The awkward smile slipped from Cordelia's face entirely. "Why do I suddenly get the feeling there's more going on than a bad location line in a spell?"
