:::As Mel says this, he's neared the both of them. He stops and looks at Melliandra with a confused expression, and then over to Cora. He looks at her up and down, and doesn't see anything wrong with her, or anything out of the ordinary at all:::
...what?

Now now, we both know you're clever enough to figure it out without relying on me to tell you.

:::Cora just keeps looking at Kal, her expression placid.:::
There's... nothing wrong with me.

:::Kal's urge to leave so quickly is curbed now, and he turns takes a step towards the two women. He grimmaces at Cora, not being able to put a finger on what's wrong, but somethiing does seem off now...
He looks back at Melliandra, his brow creased with concern:::
no. really...what's going on?

*Melliandra heaves a sigh of disappointment* Honestly, dear, how do you expect to solve the problems of an entire kingdom if you can't even show a little investigative initiative with a single person?
*She lifts the bottle Cora handed her earlier and taps the neck of it against the rim of her glass* More wine for you, darling?

...alright.

:::Kal cringes when Melliandra mentions the 'kingdom'. As far as he knew, Cora wasn't aware of his status. He liked to pretend that he wasn't keeping it from her, simply that it had never come up. But now that Melliandra threatened to put it out in the open it felt wrong...
and yet, Cora didn't even seem to notice. She barely seemed to be awake actually. He walked over to her:::
Cora, are you sure nothing's the matter...
:::But he eyed Melliandra. Why was she looking so smug about this..?::::

*Mell refills Cora's glass* At least fetch me another glass, won't you dear boy? *She sets the bottle back on the counter and motions toward her rather elaborate gown* It's a dreadful hassle to move about in this thing.

:::This is all still very 'twilight zone' to Kal. Why was Mel dressed that way. What was wrong with Cora...? Should he even be there. He's missed something, he knows that much. But what the hell...:::
:::He walks next to Cora, and grabs a nearby glass, and slides it over to Melliandra. His gaze shifts back and forth between the two of them, searching for a clue:::
Uuh- ...Cora? :::He figured, if anyone was going to give him a straight answer, it would more likely be Cora than Melliandra. Despite the relation. He put a hand on her arm::: Really... is everything alright?

I feel fine...

*Melliandra pours some more wine for herself, then licks her lips and decides to throw the poor dense fellow a bone* Why, she hasn't felt this fine since before she started coming here in the first place . . .

What is she talking about...?

:::Cora looked up at him finally:::
My serotonin levels have been steadily dropping, and so I've induced myself with lithium carbonate bio.

:::Kal's face lost all color, and he founding himself grabbing the sides of both her arms now, nearly shaking her, as though trying to shake the truth out of her statement:::
WHAT!?! You did... wh- Sweet Luca! Why!?
:::As the name came out of his mouth though, he realized who was standing opposite them, he looked back at Mel in a sort of shock:::

*Melliandra merely lifts an eyebrow, but doesn't interrupt their little exchange for now*
