:::Cora appears nearly in the same spot that K had. She was actually in the middle of grabbing something that was no longer there. But of course, she'd been through it so many times, she adjusted without skipping a beat. She looked to the bar as she adorned her locket:::
Oh, hello K. How are you?

The sound of another voice startles him just a little, he kinda nudges in his seat. But he sees that it's Cora and his nerves calm themselves.
"Oh. Hello Cora. I am well, yourself?"

:::She sighs as she approaches the bar:::
I'm afraid that I have seen better times, K. :::She suprised at herself for a moment for speaking in negative terms to someone new, but she guessed this was a sign she felt more comfortable around him now that she'd had a chance to speak with him previously:::
:::She sits down next to him:::
But I do not feel like discussing the subject. How long has it been for you?

"Well, I believe it has been almost a month in my time. I thought perhaps I had imagined the whole thing" He smirks to himself while he scratches the back of his head.
K gets up and walks to the other side of the bar. He decides to offer Cora something before she gets the chance to do it to him.
"May I pour you a drink, Cora?"

:::Cora nodded::: Yes, that bottle right there, I believe it is called Chardonnay.
:::She gets back on the subject::: When I first started appearing here, I thought I was losing my mind... a VERY dangerous thing if you live in my time.

K pours two glasses from the bottle Cora requested. He returned to the other side and sat down next to her, passing her glass along.
He takes a sip, and asks her casually. "Will you tell me what your world is like? When are you from again?"

:::She took a deep breathe, a sip of wine, and exhaled slowly. She didn't really want to go into depth, but she was curious about his time as well. It was only fair:::
There's no wine in my world. There is no real food. There are no creatures, or plants. There are only man-made structures. There is no music, or art. Art is now considered enginuity. My entire society is based solely on the advancement of human supiriority...though come to think of it, what we're trying to become superior to is only ourselves. As a result of our "forward" thinking, we've sacrificed human affection. There is no such thing as love, there's no such thing as touching someone... And the most interesting part is, I had no idea that any of that was strange.

K watches Cora's expression as she speaks. He notices a rather forced, lack of emotion towards it. Almost as though, she's been desensitized. He's more suprised by the anguish it must have caused her than by the words she's saying.
"I'm very sorry to hear that. I don't think I would survive very long a world where I couldn't love" He thinks about it for a moment, as he swallows another gulp. For someone who can't have that much experience with wine, she's got good taste.
"But don't worry. Times will change, you'll see"

Oh really?

((I saw that!))
*Snoozing rather quietly, Clare faded into a chair, her head resting on a very old book. The deep green binding starting to crumble around the spine from all the years of wear and tare, leaving the cream pages underneath to peak out every so often.*

((my gaia was acting up, I asked Liv to enter my posts for me, but gaia's doin better now xp ))
"Well, yes." He clears his throat. "Everything changes eventually. Especially when people figure out that something's wrong. Which, you have. It is only a matter of time."
K looks over and sees a familiar young woman, sleeping in a less then comfortable position. Or, at least he would never find that comfortable. She seems to be doing just fine in it though.

:::She narrows her brow::: I don't think you understand just how difficult change comes in a world like mine. You can't jus-
:::She saw that he was looking off in another direction, and she follows his line of vision:::
Oh, it's Clare.

*Shifting in her sleep, Clare yawned softly, repositioning her head on the book. The small movements giving way to a rich gold title crawling across the cover in a flowery script. From all appearances, it looked to only be a couple of words, the majority of the emphasis placed on the upper two.*

K's eyes shift back at Cora, though his body's still facing Clare's direction.
He'd woken up before with the feeling that he wasn't where he had fallen asleep the night before, and that was alarming enough. But he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he actually woke up and wasn't anywhere close to where he fell asleep. Except, this girl didn't seem to react adversly to any of the things K would easily freak out about. So...what were they supposed to do.
"Should we wake her?"

:::Cora lowered her voice just a bit:::
No, let her rest. The effects of losing sleep, or gaining too much, from being in the Brink takes it's toll. She will most likely wake soon anyway...The air in here is too still, makes for unsound rest if you ask me.
:::She sips her wine::: Anyway, please tell me more about your own world, K.
