No, no, no -
"No!"
Cordelia wakes up with a start, sitting upright on her bed with her hands clutching her blanket like a lifeline. For several moments she looks around her in alarm, wondering where the hell she is and where the others are, wondering if this is another one of those times she unfortunately opened her eyes only to be sliced and diced again and--
Then she rests her head on her hands, and breathes. It's over now. It's over and done with and they're all safe but the images are still burned in her brain, like a vision that's been put on eternal loop.
Slowly - mindful of the pains that plague her - Cordelia gets out of bed. She looks down at herself, sees the numerous bandages that are wrapped around her body, and sighs.
And here she thought she'd be safe in Taxon. Pfft.
She gets up, and walks over to the mirror. Cordelia looks at her reflection, and bites her lip.
God.
"Mummy girl much?" she whispers.

He trusts that Cordelia, of all people, won't decide it's a scientific experiment, and it's clear he expects her to refrain from going around and telling everyone about it if she doesn't have to.

"For Eric and I, it's not so different from the bond we usually have as Maker and Child. But it's easy to understand why it would be unwelcome to most people."

"It's like putting them on a supernatural version of a leash, or something," she notes. "But yeah. I don't think I've ever heard of that before. In our world it's usually the human who gives his or her blood to vampires - unwillingly, I might add."

"It can be a leash, yes, but it can also be a safety net. If the human is in trouble, the vampire will sense it and can rush to their aid. If a vampire and a human become lovers, it's typical for them to form a bond. Exchange enough blood, and the bond goes both ways."

That might be some TMI again, but she asked, and he'll paint a picture as best he can.

...you may have created an inquisitive monster, Godric.

In a way, it's weird hearing about other vampires. She knows firsthand about Angel, heard about Levi and Shane, and now, Godric and Eric's. She shakes her head.
"Anyway. I'm really glad you're doing alright, Godric."
