Cordelia's dead. Deader than dead. Six feet under sort of dead. And Buffy … she has a weird relationship with it. Cordelia doesn't think Buffy's dead. There's no way in hell the Slayer, of all people, is dead. She's a Champion, like Angel, a doer of good, someone who isn't meant to die. Cordelia's a pawn while Buffy's a knight; the pawns are always sacrificed first.
So it's when she finds out, that Buffy is as dead as she, that Cordelia isn't quite sure what to do. She always has all the answers, the right words, the right gestures, the good sort of pick-me-ups to get people out of their angsty and broody funks.
She avoids her for some time. Buffy's dead. Cordelia's dead. But Cordelia's meant to be dead while Buffy … It's all a big, crazy whirlwind, so she ignores Buffy for a while. She sticks to her hallways and her checkerboard hills, and sticks to the mazes and the closets. But it's when Giles and Xander just don't get it that Cordelia knocks on her door.
And when it's opened, she shrugs, "So, you're dead," Cordelia says. "Whoop. Big deal. Been there, conquered that, and it looks a hell of a lot better on me than it does you. So, quit whining, and lets go get some damn shoes, Buff."
