:::Cora's expression became serious...grave...a little weathered:::
It seems that everytime I leave here it is increasingly harder to be satisfied with my original existance. It is amazing. I have lived in my world for 23 years, and I believed that it was the pinicle of human existance. But with just months of being here, almost everything there is about me has changed. It makes me wonder...what the people in my world are doing with their lives. :::She stopped the thought abruptly:::
Forgive me, I was rambling...
:::Her shoulders lowered, and she turned her body slightly away:::

*stands up and swaggers over*... now now love, its not so bad.... I'll have ye know that in my time ye'd for one be considered quite fetchin' probably be lousy with offers of courtship an surounded by dresses and flowers and pretty thin's... and for 2 ye'd be taller than some o me men and a lot stronger to... and I'd wager a fair shot braver.... if I'm learnin' anythin' from this place, its that ye need perspective.
((Edit: Bah ye stole my shoulder touchyness ;_ wink )

:::Cora looked nervouse...she was rather serious:::
Sir Cross, I must confess something...
:::She fiddled with her fingers, and her eyes fell away from him:::
I...I have barely understood a quarter of the things you say to me. :::She looked as though she had failed not only Cross, but herself as well:::

*Raises an eyebrow thenchuckles* then I shall attempt to explain..... in my time when a lady is as....er... attractive as ye'self young men will tend to call on her... leave presents for her in an attempt to win her favor...er... that means get her to like them... in a more than friendly way.... if ye read up on them books of history, then ye'll see that its full of fools who have done many a strange or wonderous thing for the love of a lady.... er.. take Helen o' troy for instance...

...love..? they do these things...for something called love?
:::her eyes widened:::
That is the attraction that you all were trying to explain to me at one time, correct? You mean, men in your time would seek to have this feeling with me...because...I don't understand. Because I am attractive?
