One would think that the length of time Tac had been away from his desk and here in the Brink would have given him ample time to notice the chair beneathe him was not his own. Contrary to common belief, Tac could focus on work, and though he hated it, he hated Viper more. The larger number of officers that knew how to combat the being, the better chance of one day destroying him.

**Enter Melliandra**
*Melli appears, stretched out on her back with her hands folded under her head, whistling. She opens one eye to see that her campsite had been replaced by the Brink, then closes it and whistles on*

*After a while, Mell rises to her feet. She stretches, yawns, and ambles over to the bar to get herself a drink*

*Drink in hand, Mell lets out another yawn and moves over to the board of keys. She retrieves hers from off its hook, then wanders on down the hall*
**Exit Melliandra to Guest Rooms**

:::Kara fades into a chair rather suddenly at the bar:::
but you see, I heard that she didn't think I was... eh-
:::She paused when her enterage disappeared before her eyes, to be replaced by an empty bar:::
Hmf...

::Kal fades into the Brink, walking with his head down and his hand on his chin while deep in thought. Walking through the bar area, unaware of his surroundings, he walks into a wall::
Ouch
::Slowly and clumsily he takes a step back from the wall to take in the setting::

::Kara spins in her seat to view the opposite wall. She knew who it was way before seeing him though. The sound of that particular 'ouch' was quite familiar::
Brother dearest...! ::she says dramatically, not moving from her spot to help him:::
How fancy meeting you here. What were you up to?

::The sudden voice nearly startled him, but Kal knew that it was no one to fear::
Doing what i normally do Sis, thinking
::Kal begins to rub his forehead, feeling the impression of the wall on his head he hopes that it would not leave a bruise::

Of course you were.
:::She didn't wait for him to ask her what she was up to:::
I was just in the middle of some terribly important gossip.
::She meant to mock him. He was so busy doing important 'thinking':: It's just amazing the kind of social service I do for these people. Their lives would be without any flavor if it weren't for this sort of spice...
:::She got up to grab herself some wine:::
Speaking of which..? :::She gave him an eyebrow. She didn't need to actually ask the question any more:::

:::Kal looked through his fingers as he stopped rubbing his head. The question need not be said anymore between the two of them::
With what time do you think I would have a chance to do such a thing?
:::With that thought, his face began to blush. Though an accepted way of life in his society, it was something which Kal was not experienced in. That thought made him feel embarrassed:::

Oooh! Of course!
:::as though it was silly of her for not realizing it. Meanwhile, she got two glasses and a bottle of apple wine, before walking back to the front of the bar:::
How terrible to take so much time away from your thinking... Ha! Honestly, Kal. I promise... it would only take you a few seconds. Hmhmhm... :::she giggles incredulously as she takes a seat again:::

:: Kal really wished she didn't refer to such things so casually::
At least one of us is thinking.
::Kal approaches the bar to where Kara has set the glasses of wine::
Honestly sis, why do you feel it's necessary for me to act in such a way?
::He reaches for one of the glasses hoping that the wine will ease the pain of his throbbing head::

::At the comment, she puts her glass down a little harder than she intended to::
At least one of us is enjoying themselves. Honestly! Do you know what they're saying about you behind your back..? of course I do, because I actually socialize with our people... I'm not pretending to be friendly like someone I know.
:::She lowered her voice a bit after that last statement, and took a sip of wine to fill the pause. Then she proceded politely, as it was her brother she was about to tell off:::
They think you're miserable, Kal. They're starting to wonder if you wouldn't be happier among the over-intelectual lot. With the Tropos... Don't get me wrong, brother. I've slapped every little twit who had the nerve to say such a thing...but they still think it. Maybe if you actually endulged a little... they wouldn't think you're betraying everything Luca preached.
:::She stopped to let this sink into Kal. It was the first time she was able to express all this without the fuss of all his and her servants running around them as distractions. Kara knew it would be a blow, but he had to hear it:::

:::Kal gaped at her for a moment. It appeared as though Kara had just slapped him:::
::He took the moment his sister gave him to ponder it all, and the first thing he could respond with was anger:::
Bull s**t, Kara. Just because I don't share my bed with all my servants... that makes me an embarassement to you? :::He shook his head, not looking at her::: Forget it! I don't care what you or anyone else has to say.
:::He set his glass down, and went in the direction of the door to leave:::

Bull s**t back!
:::She stands up and goes after him, standing in his way:::
You're the one who's embarassed... because you do care what they think. It's got nothing to do with how many women you ********, brother. It's quite obvious to everyone that you're not happy. You're always shut up in your room, and you only come out when you think you can avoid everyone, or when you absolutely HAVE to celebrate.
:::She rattled this off fairly quickly:::
You're not telling them anything, you're not letting anyone help you. You're as stubborn as the apple seeds. What do you think, Kal? That I'm stupid? That I don't notice how weird things are in this place? Well newsflash, stud. I've got one up on you.
You spend all your time thinking about why this is all ******** up, and it's messing with your head because the things the elders told us aren't word for word. But maybe if you ever heard a good re-telling of Olsen's account with the giant Sirs attack, you'd know that people indulge when they tell stories. Maybe if you ever got a taste of what it's like to use your imagination, you'd be able to tell that things aren't always what they seem... particularly when told by geezers.
:::She crossed her arms, scowling:::
