He brightened, at least a little bit, "Then what's wrong? Its not like I care that you kissed Luke, especially if it didn't mean the same as it would with me. It was just a kiss, I don't care." He took his arm from around her and held her face in his hands, the thumbs lightly caressing her cheek with the fingers just barely extending into her hair, "Seriously though. It was just a kiss, I still love you, maybe even all that much more."

:::Cora finally let her breathe past her lips. She was relieved to hear that her mistake hadn't offended him:::
I... :::But she didn't know what to say. She just looked at him, her eyes sad. Pained from the embarassment, and for the first time...guilt:::

Tac saw the guilt in her eyes and took his hands from her face, wrapping them around her gently in a warm embrace before giving her a light kiss, though only on the cheek, "Its ok Cora, you're human. To err is human. I forgive you. Theres no reason to be embarassed or feel guilty. Its me, Tac, and I love you with all my heart. Little mistakes won't change that. Hell, even big ones might not."

:::Cora returns the embrace. She has just enough time to say:::
Thank you, Tacitus...
:::just before she fades away:::

He watches her fade away and smiles, "Just as long as you don't get confused and sleep with Luke, we're A-OK." He knew she wouldn't hear it, as she was already gone, but he said it more out loud to himself for a laugh to at least try and lighten the matter a bit. He glances at the Diet Coke, talking to himself, "I wonder...if theres no time here, does Coke ever go flat? Hmm...." He got up and took the Diet Coke over to the counter, finding some peanuts and spelling out the words 'don't touch' with an arrow on the bar, setting the Diet Coke next to them so the arrow was pointing at it. He chuckled to himself, it would be an interesting experiment. He turned on his heels to go back to his world and await his next visit to check on it, but more importantly to see Cora again, hopefully.

K pops up in the main room of the Brink. He's seated at the bar.
"...cuse me, I have to-" He stops himself and looks around, and almost began to panic, but then he realized. "Oh, right. The Brink" He forgot for a minute.
He looked over and was kinda confused about what the weird bottle of dark liquid was doing on the bar, and why you weren't supposed to touch it. "hm diet...coke." He looked back at the car, thinking he wasn't supposed to touch that either. He wasn't gonna risk it with the diet coke, whatever that was.

*Luke enters, whistling to "Welcome to the Jungle". His shirt and pants are wrinkled, and his shirt tails are out of his pants. His tie is draped around his neck... *
*He's not in too bad a mood. He notices he's in the Brink and keeps walking forward. Probably, his smoothest reaction to date.*
*He nods to the other person there with him.*
Hey, K, right?

K turns his head, hearing someone enter. He sees Luke, and his eyes sorta light up.
"Yes! Hello Luke. How are you? I have not seen you in a month."

*Luke nods, leaning comfortably against the bar now.*
Yeah, seriously. You could go for days, weeks, months, Brink's funny like that. *Luke doesn't know why he's talking like a pro... It's not like he knows everything there is to know about the Brink. But all the same, he's been here longer than K. That gives him confidence.*
How's... How's wherever the hell it is you're from? *grins*

Tac fades in hunched over a table, as if looking over a pile of paperwork and maps, mumbling to himself. His hands are pressed against the table so hard to the point where they have began to turn white. He rolls his head back to look towards the ceiling, though his eyes remain closed, "Where the ******** did you leave it you bloody divine son of a b***h?"

*Luke blinks as Tacitus appears only inches away from his person.*
*That's him. That's the guy who's banging Cora... Or trying to bang her.*
*Luke frowns, clears his throat.... It takes a lot of internal struggle, but.....Luke keeps his voice, civil...pleasant...calm.*
Hey, Tacitus, right? *Luke straightened his shirt...aware of how dishelved he must look.*
*He extends his hand confidently* Lucas Blaize... We've met a couple times.

"Oh, hello Tacitus. How are you?" His memory spairs no hesitation in remembering the name, though they'd only met once.
"I have not seen you in some time. How is Cora?"

Tac blinks a few times as he opens his eyes, brinking his gaze back to level with the rest instead of the darkness above. It takes him a second to register Luke, having not gotten the best sleep recently. It snaps and he takes Luke's hand, shaking it as he nodded, "Yeah, Tacitus Nusradai, A Commissioner of the Gaia Police Department. Never really talked to you among the people here." He looked past Luke to K, "Not bad myself. Last I knew Cora was fine, for the most part." He paused and glanced at Luke, clearing his throat, "Learning stuff all the time. That reminds me, either of you know if Tavin is still around here?" He was intentionally steering the conversation away from Cora, because he knew it'd likely lead back to her kissing Luke, even though she had explained she knew it was nothing. If only Tac knew what was coming.

K nods.
"Good to hear." He says as he gets up and moves behind the bar for a drink. Readily avoiding the possibly dangerous 'diet coke'

Tacitus. Nice to meet you.
*Luke answers for K.* Tavin's in the back. He's resting.... We learned he took a hit from the Seraphim...
*Luke changes conversation back to Cora.* Like you said, we're learning stuff all the time. Something else we learned - or should I say -I- learned a few days ago is that you've been ... *clears throat* *Luke refrained from saying "shacking up"* ... romantically involved with Cora.
