Cuthbert's sitting at the bar, with coffee.

You probably haven't seen him grinning this much since his wedding day.

"You look like I feel."

Faith, too, is grinning when she joins him, so wide it looks painful.

"What's the good news, Bert?"

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"Same here." Cuthbert beams at her. "Eddie and Susannah are both back. How about you?"

"My friend Michael had a baby."

Beat.

"Back? Where did they go?"

"Alternate version of New York. Also Del's realm. It's kind of confusing and weird. Congratulations to your friend, though."

"Del's realm?" Faith winces. "I'm really glad they're back, then."

Cuthbert nods. "So am I. But that was apparantly the only way for them to get back here."

There's a fair amount of creative paraphrasing going on here, but it works. Susannah may have been the only one physically in Del's realm, but it seems Eddie figured out the way for them both to get back through a useful bout of temporary insanity, so.

"Whatever works, I guess."

Faith runs a hand through her hair. "It's been a weird week."
