Cordelia merely blinked at his comment. Eh, she'd heard weirder, she decided. With a mild shrug, she replied evenly, "Sounds like. And one you don't have to tell, if you don't want."
This time she did move closer, coming to sit a generous enough distance away with her body turning so she was facing John. "Although this whole helping you thing that you seem to want me to do? Kinda hard to pull that one off if you keep making with the short answers. So why don't you try telling me what it is you're looking for... and I'm going to warn you now, if it's an easy fix to get back to where you're supposed to be, you're going to be sorely disappointed. I haven't the foggiest how to get anyone back. Only how to help them while they're here."
