Summary: Cordelia. Axe. Melancholy.
********************************
"Do you ever think about it?"
I look at Cordelia. We're alone. She's pensive. Unusual.
"About..."
"If we hadn't." She's staring at the blade of her axe. Not at me. But I know what she means.
"Seen?"
"Yes."
I shrug.
"We did."
"I know." She sighs, still looking at the blade. "I'm still...attached. Need to detach."
"How?" I really want to know. Maybe the answer's written on the blade. She's surprised.
"You're Oz. I thought you..." I sniff the air. They're coming.
"Demons. Heading this way." She nods, grips the handle. The axe doesn't hold our answers, just our fate.
