:::Cora lets go and stands in front of him. She's a bit too excited to see Luke to stand in one spot, so she unconciously shifts her weight from one foot to the other:::
How is what going..? :::but she's all smiles through not understanding what he means:::

*Luke nods and looks away, thinking 'well that's one thing that hasn't changed.'* How's it goin, Slim - you know - your life, your summer...
I haven't seen you since we got arrested.

Oh... :::she looks at his feet for a second with her finger to her chin:::
I've...been here this whole time. I haven't gotten to tell you...

:::she pauses to think of how to say it::: Yes... I have.
The Captain says...that I live here now.
::Her face doesn't wear much expression as she says it. All that's really apparent is uncertainty, in waiting for Luke's reaction:::

*thinks - what?*
*frowns a little* So you can't go back? *When Cora doesn't say anything, Luke thinks out loud.* Who decided that? You or him?

:::She could see where this was going, and she explained it before Luke could go off:::
The Captain said he did it becuae if I had stayed there they would have done something terrible to me... I think. He said something about them turning me into...I don't know what. But I'm sure he was trying to spair me from something worse.

*Luke puts up his hands, as if to say 'relax it babe. i'm just asking some questions'. But it gives him a minute to think about what she's said.*
*Luke didn't trust Tavin. But serious s**t had gone down in Cora's time. He'd seen her look like s**t one too many times and not able to tell him how it'd happened.*
Okay, okay, before you jump all over me.
Are you okay with it?

:::She looks to the side and nods slowly. She'd had a long time to think about it, and while there were up sides and downsides to her situation, she'd decided it was the best outcome for her:::
Yes, I am okay with this. :::she used Luke's phrasing:::

*It doesn't make Luke feel better to hear that. He thought it might. Oh, well. He tried.*
What about the Seraphim? What does ''the Captain'' say about that?

**Enter Melliandra**
*Melli flickers in, dressed in yet another elaborate court gown. Her dark coloring and altered facial features revert to her natural appearance within a few moments, as always. She turns and smirks at the rooms occupants, fanning herself idly*
Ahhh, the noble lieutenant . . . and a new face. Won't you introduce us, Cora, darling?

The Captain hasn't mentioned the Seraphim since...
:::But then Melliandra appeared. Cora staired at her blankly until that snide drawl Mel so normally speaks in drifted to their side of the bar. She remembered just why she didn't like Melli again:::
Why..? So you know can call him by name while you attack him? :::she stood in front of Luke, giving no interest in an introduction:::

*Luke raises an eyebrow first at Scarlett O'Hara in her ballroom get-up, then when Cora blocks his view.*
*Attack him? Luke smirks. He looks around Cora and murmurs.* With what? A high heel?

*Mell chuckles, murmering* You might be surprised . . .
*Then she flashes Luke her most winning smile* Well my dear, since Cora is disinclined to accomodate us, I suppose we'll have to make do for ourselves. Might I have your name?

:::It had been at least a month since she saw Melliandra last, and though some of the anger had seeped out, naturally the core of the dislike stayed. She repressed the urge to tell the woman to leave again, but she also hated the idea of Luke getting to know this woman.
She glanced over at him, with a very unhappy look in her eyes:::
