*Bard doesn't fight Luke as he pulls him away, and as he listens to the words spilling from Melliandra's lips, he just seems to go slack. He murmurs, as much to himself as to anyone*
She's alright then? She's really alright then?

She's alright, darling, *Mell answers, suddenly sounding quite kind* Some time away will do her good, and Kal knows more about those potions of hers than any of the rest of us.
*The corners of her mouth quickly curl upward again* But really, Bard, I never knew you had such a violent streak! Did you, Luke?
I must say, I'm almost impressed!

*Luke narrows his eyes, sending her a condescending stare as if to say "you stupid b***h". He lets go of Bard and asks the both of them.* What happened to Cora? Why is she with Kal?

*Bard sags* It was a week ago... my time... you know what I mean... I faded in... and Cora was...
*he can't even look in Luke's eye* she was like a zombie... she's been mixing alcohol and lithium.

What... *Luke's face scrunches up and he breathes <********>* Why... Why the <********> would she do that? *But Luke doesn't let the question hang. He thought he knew why.*
But ... but she's okay? *He looks briefly to Melliandra, and though he doesn't want to talk to her, he asks.* You saw her? She's with Kal?

*Mell folds her arms in front of her, eyeing the pair of them in amusement* Indeed, you missed them by only a matter of moments.

*Bard can't stay on his feet anymore. He sits down hard in a chair and doesn't say anything*

*That last piece of information doesn't make Luke feel much better. At least she was out of the Brink. With someone who could care for her. But God.... Lithium and alcohol....Why hadn't he...? Why did she...?*

Now now, boys, don't be too hard on yourselves over what she's done to herself. *She smirks* Really if anyone's to blame, it's ... *however she vanishes before she gets a chance to finish her sentence*
**Exit Melliandra**

*As Melliandra disappears, Luke lets out a...* Thank God. *He sits down angrily across from Bard runs a hand down his face, still talking about Melliandra.* That stupid b***h.

*Bard looks up* What?
*he looks over where Melliandra was sitting* oh…
*he can't bring himself to say anything else*

*Luke shakes his head. Thank God Kal was here. If Cora had been stuck here with Mel... Luke frowns as he thinks about her. He's wondering if she's all right, if she could even...*
*Luke open his mouth to ask Bard what he saw, how bad Cora was... But he can't sit still. He goes to the bar for a drink. He sees Bard's beer bottle on the bar. He grabs two beers and sets them down as he sits back down at the table.*

*Bard looks up at the two bottles and finally smiles weakly* One at a time, Kid.

Not any more. I turned 21 last month. *Luke holds his hand over the beer and using his power uncaps it. He sends the cap up and onto the table.* Now they let me buy as much as I can pay for.
*From where he's sitting, Luke uncaps Bard's beer as well.*

Twenty-one, eh? *Bard grabs the bottle and raises it* That's worth a drink, I guess. Happy belated birthday.
