He didn't try to disturb what seemed to quickly becoming her slumber, he merely stood there as a support and comfort for her. He slowly closed his eyes and with one hand he gently ran his fingers through her hair, holding her close with the other. He glanced towards the board with the keys for half a moment, ready to whisk Cora off her feet and take her to a more appropriate bed if she fell asleep completely.

:::She felt herself slipping deeper into sleep, and her thoughts were a mixture of dreams and reality. She had enough energy left in her to say one last thing:::
Tacitus...?

He quietly shushed her, "Its ok, just sleep, I'll still be here for you, with any luck." He gently tilted her slightly and gently swept her off her feet, quite literally. He went to the board and retrieved his key, with only the slight possibility of even interupting Cora's sleep, and heading off to his room.

*Luke materialized, and it appeared he was dancing, rather provacatively with...*
*NO ONE.*
*Luke catches himself. Without the dark of the night club to hide him, his face is a deep red, but as he looks around, thankfully, his little dance number goes unseen.*
*With a clear of his throat, Luke straightens his tie (his trademark now amongst his peers. As Leo so eloquently put it "The Fonz had his leather jacket..... Lucas has his tie."), clear his throat, and heads to the bar.*

:::Cora emerges from the hallway. Instead of sporting her bed sheet, she's donned the civilian clothes of her time. Very plain, light colors, form fitting with straight cuts. Her shirt is mid-sleeved, as are her pants. She's barefoot though:::
:::When she walks in she sees Luke and she goes to greet him with a smile, and sits beside him:::
Hello Luke, I have not seen you in a couple weeks. How have you been?

*It takes Luke a moment to reply. Honestly? He hadn't minded the break.... Though he would never ever tell Cora, part of him had preferred it.*
*But to say that he didn't miss her would be untrue...*
*says with his usual cocky attitude* I've been fine, sweetheart. How bout you? *He looks at her seriously, with everything that's been happening.* You been okay?

:::She half smiles:::
Yes, I have been alright. :::but soon the smile is gone::: Thankfuly, there have not been anymore mishaps since you last arrived. Tavin is still in a similar state, but we do expect a successful recovery.
:::She looks up at him, the same serious gaze. You can here concern, but mostly, uncertainty:::
How are...your loved ones?

Serenis Tavin is still in a similar state, but we do expect a successful recovery. ((Assuming his player ever gets off his duff >_>))

*Something flashes across his face for a moment.*
*Luke visibly flinches, shaking it away.*
*Says in a firm, but cold tone.* They're fine.
*He looks up at Cora. The look is half gone from his eyes.* And he hasn't been here? *checks again*

:::She shakes her head a bit, looking off into the distance in front of her:::
Not to my knowledge. I have been appearing and disappearing frequently, but who knows what that means in a place without time. :::She sort of smirks and looks back at him with a shrug:::

*Luke shakes his head.* *says bewildered, thinking out loud.* Why in the ******** would he want -this- place?...
*In Luke's mind it makes about as much sense as him going to great lengths to claim two feet of land on the Planet Pluto.*

**Enter Maggie from Ainsford, 4**
*Maggie flickers in, kneeling on the floor, with her hand raised as though it was resting on something. She opens her eyes in surprise as her hand slides through empty air, and looks around her in alarm* . . . Bard?

:::She thinks back on it::: He expressed his motives when he took me. It seemed he was claiming to have a rightious intension, but by the manner of his disrespect for our physical well being would suggest otherwise.
:::She sighs::: I just want things to be safe here. I feel so much sadness when I think of what is happening to this place, and I worry that there is nothing I can do to stop it. :::She shakes her head to stop her thoughts from running off and getting her more into a slump. Luke was there, and this was a chance for her to feel happy and comfortable, like she always wanted to feel:::

*Luke was vengeful, irate, and pissed off. But the Seraphim at present was nowhere to be found. Somewhere, Luke must have felt the same way as Cora... Because he lent her a disarming smile.*
Don't worry. *It's absurd. But he says it anyway.* I'll protect you.
*He watches Maggie enter in.* *He blinks. And speaking of which....*
Hey... *He walks over to her. He's not sure how to start off....given their last meeting. So he says.* Maggie, right?
