:::His face nearly goes white, but he manages not to utterly curl up and die:::
Uhh..hh... Of, of course not. :::She'd gotten a lot closer, and the resemblance was still striking. What if it's her...? Iit's her first time here.:::
:::He stays still and quiet for a just a moment, letting a little color rush back to his cheaks:::
You are in a place called the Brink of Time... you're not in any danger. But, there's a bit of explaining to do if this is your first time here.

*She keeps her hand on her sword, eyeing him suspiciously* Get on with it, then.

:::He gulps, and does as she says:::
You're in a place outside the realm of normal time. Everything in your world is still while you're here, and when you return, you'll go back just as you were. The Brink choses people seemingly at random and places them here. It sends you back whenever it wants...or you can leave through that door...
:::He's too rigid to point with his hand, but his eyes glance over to the wrack and the door:::

*The woman follows his gaze briefly, then returns her eyes to him. For a moment she just stares at him, and one could almost see the wheels churning as she takes in what he says, sizing him up*
*Irritably* I ought to just slice your tongue out, boy. *But in contrast to her words, she lets her hand fall back to her side*

:::The threats almost remind him of Kara, it's almost comforting:::
I swear it's the truth... :::He got up the nerve to test the water::: You're...you're not accustomed to seeing amazing things like this...?

*She chuckles dryly at that* Now there's a foolish assumption. Did no one ever teach you not to rush to conclusions?
*The question seems to be a hypothetical, since she turns away from him dismissively as she says it, and walks over to inspect the door and the board of keys* Hmmm...

:::He breathes deeply. Well, it's time for the obvious question then.:::
...What is your name?

*The woman doesn't even look at him* Antonius de Bernardigio. *she glances down at herself again and shakes her head crossly* Though that's hardly appropriate, now.
*She lifts one key off its hook to examine it more carefully and frowns*

:::His face droops a bit when she gives him an unfamiliar name...he hardly even caught that it was a male name. He was too busy biting the inside of his cheak for getting his hopes up to notice that she meant it wasn't her real name:::
Oh...

*'Antonius' returns the key and starts to walk the perimeter of the room, examining every detail. She pauses at one point to rest her hand against the wall, and closes her eyes. Nothing happens. She opens them, then traces something out on the wall, murmuring something in what sounds vaguely like Latin. Again, nothing happens.*
Blast. *she mutters* It really is blocked entirely.

*She taps the wall lightly with her fingertip, and says, offhand* Magic. This place seems to supress it. *She turns back to Kal, moving back to the bar as she completes her circuit of the room* Aren't you going to introduce yourself, boy?

:::Kal snapped out of his somber expression for a moment:::
Oh! I'm so sorry...everything just... :::he rubbed his forhead::: That was rude of me. My name is Kal.
:::He wasn't sure she'd shake his hand, but he thought it was the least he could try to do after being so rude. He walked over and offered his hand:::

*The woman clasps his hand firmly, then releases it, smirking slightly* And who were you hoping I was, Kal? Since Antonius so obviously disappoints you. *She speaks casually, running her hand along the countertop of the bar now. She walks around to start investigating what's behind it*

:::He feels a little better seeing that she has a sense of humor. Kal manages to chuckle as he scratches the back of his head:::
It's kind of silly actually. I was looking for a goddess named Luca. She, uh...was prophecied to appear here. You just, look a whole lot like her. Hehe...
:::He almost laughs at himself:::
Oh...and your magic. The Brink apparently relieves it's members of magic and any other kind of power while they're in here. It'll return when you go back to your time.
