"No, just unexpected knocks at the door tend to be dates for Lydia."
Sometimes it did seem odd that Cora and Lydia were so close as they were complete opposites. Perhaps it was why they worked as best friends as well though. They balanced one another out. Who knew, but it was definitely something that made sense to the college student. Not that their friendship needed to make sense, it just was. Eight years did that and Lydia more or less was part of the family by that point.
"Fair enough."
By nature, Cora wasn't very talkative. If something needed to be expanded on, she did, otherwise she tended to keep to straight to the point answers. Less chances of things getting lost in translation. Mostly. Maybe not as it could be taken as not caring (which okay, sometimes that was it) or purposefully being a bitch when it was simply nothing else to say. But Uncle Peter showing up to catch up really wasn't so surprising. She couldn't remember a time when he wasn't around. She never had met her father, but her uncle had always been there so it was what it was.
The fact that even Peter seemed upset by the loss of Robin Williams was pretty unexpected. If she wasn't one to get worked up over the death of a celebrity, her uncle was even less likely to. Though, it had become routine to watch it with him. The fact she used to think he was actually Peter Pan made it all the more them. It wasn't the only movie she made him watch on repeat, but it was definitely a them thing.
"Yeah..." What was she supposed to say to that? She didn't know. She'd already been talking to Stiles about it some. The confusion on why she was so upset. What it meant. The other memories it dredged up.
"Did you want tea or something?" Might as well ask.
