[ It's as she's reading the birth certificate that Caroline turns a corner and spots her.
She's relieved to see Fortescue - after that last jump, with Elena being gone, Caroline's been a little more neurotic than usual, if that were possible. As it was, she stuck close to Benny's side and did her best to check in with others, including Fortescue, just in case they should suddenly disappear, too.
Benny did get lost in the hallways a couple of months ago. That's reason enough to keep an eye on people.
In her relief, she doesn't immediately notice Fortescue's demeanor. Instead, she practically bounces over to the woman. ]
Okay, I'll admit I was totally worried that everyone I knew would be stuck in the gravcouches, but it looks like that - [ Once she's closer, she notices there's something off about Fortescue. Looking down at Jazz, Caroline tilts her head to the woman, as if asking the cat if she's okay. Whether he gives any indication of any understanding is up to interpretation, but he's the closest being she can do this with.
With much less bounce to her step, she comes a little closer, looking worried. ]
