"Yeah," Lu said, standing up. "Like this place."
Still keeping both arms around X12, she went to the other side of the bar. "Anything to drink while I'm back here?"

Like this place and stranger, still *Mell murmers wryly, and then wanders over toward the counter.*
Pour me a glass of whatever looks interesting, my dear girl.
*She drums her fingernails on the countertop, slightly irritated that Luana is insisting on protecting X12. Although it would be an easy enough matter to take the robot away by force ...*

Luana set X12 on the floor by her feet, out of reach or sight. She poured a glass of wine for Melliandra and set it on the counter for her before finding some apple juice for herself.
"Stranger, huh? I didn't think it got much stranger than this." She picked up X12 again, set it on the counter, and kept one hand on it while she talked to her.

*Mell lifts the glass for a sip* My dear girl, there are no limits. Though the Brink does offer plenty of intriguing little puzzles, doesn't it? *she keep her tone light, but her hand is still on her sword*

"That it does." She took a drink of her juice. "I think that much we can agree on." Lu did her best to stay calm, but she would not take her eys of Mell even for a moment.
"So, how long have you been coming here?"

Oh, a few years now, on and off *Mell replies casually* Enough to make a little headway . .. *but she trails off as she fades away*
**Exit Melliandra**

Luana sighed with relief and smiled at X12. "See, little robot? Everything's okay now."

[X-12 turned its eyes on Luana] ^_^ Hello, Luana Rae McColn. May Unit X-12 be of assistance?

"Well hello, Unit X-12. It's a pleasure to meet you!" She went around to the other side of the bar and sat down. "And yes you may. Could you start by telling me where and when you come from?"

"Wow," she shook her head. "That's over a hundred and twenty years in my future. Wait..." Her smile vanished. "What was your copyright again?"

"No way." She actually laughed. "No way! That's- That's my father's company! This is amazing."
A thought occurred to Luana. "X-12, do you know anything about history from the past 120 years?"
