Enid bounces from one foot to the other, searching the crowd for a glimpse of familiar braids and dreary black clothes. She feels like a bee buzzing with anticipation… though she's not quite sure bees actually do that. (She makes a mental note to ask Wednesday about this later, even though Enid doubts she paid enough attention in Eugene's beekeeping club to know either.) She rises up on her tiptoes, hoping she might get a better view as her search continues.
Finally, she grins as she spots Wednesday making her way from the airport baggage claim, looking less than thrilled to be surrounded by so many people. She's glaring at a family clad in colorful Hawaiian shirts when Enid throws one hand up to wave her over.
Wednesday doesn't smile when she sees her, but she does look ever so slightly relieved.
Enid can't wait to show Wednesday around San Francisco. She already has so many things planned out (and even looked up some weird occult stores she thinks Wednesday might enjoy for souvenirs.)
“How was the flight?”
“I wish I'd packed a parachute and escaped somewhere over Oklahoma.”
Enid didn't realize how much she missed that deadpan delivery until this very moment. She loops an arm around Wednesday’s and starts leading her towards the exit.
Wednesday must have missed her too because she doesn't even complain.
“By the way, I made a list of places I'd like to visit.” Wednesday hands her a crinkled paper.
“...This is just a list of cemeteries.”
“Yes.”
Enid briefly imagines having a picnic amongst headstones, shudders, and then pockets the list to deal with later. What's important is that she's reunited with Wednesday again, and they're going to have a spectacular time.
A very macabre spectacular time, but she can live with that.
