It felt surreal, the way that she and Nori had been kind of co-existing, movingly easy around each other, both wary and on high alert. Carrie had been looking, as much as anyone could look, for people from their lives as Slayers, but it seemed like they weren't around. Maybe they had died and this was a new life. Maybe Slayer memories lingered in the next life.

Whatever the reason, Carrie was glad Nori was here; that Faith was here. So why not play a dumb game of football? Why not try to share space and a life and see what happens?

Carrie was dressed in cute workout clothes, of course, and waved at Elena as she caught sight of her. "That's who I go running with," she told Nori, as she put her bag down and started to stretch. Looks like she would know a few people here.
