*Tavin nods* That is so very true.
Maggie, do you know why Man is the greatest of all the His creations?

*Maggie blinks, caught a little off guard by the question* Ehm . . *the story of Genesis immediately comes to her mind* Because He made us in His image ... ?

No, not really. See... In the grand scheme of things, men live for a very short period of time. But in that time, what they can do is.... limitless. The amount that they can love, invent, discover, feel, enjoy.... is infinately more so than any other creature. Isn't that amazing?

**Enter Melliandra**
*Mell flickers in, shaking her foot with an exasperated expression as though something were clinging to it and muttering under her breath* - making a spectacle of yourself, you ... *she lifts her head, just in time to catch Tavin's little speech*
Oh, Tavin, darling, you're always so sentimental! How you ever managed that death and destruction work at all, I'll never know. *she sidles over, smirking*
And hello to you to, Maggie, dear. *she winks* Still expanding your intellectual horizons, I hope.

*Maggie listens to her friend thoughtfully* I daresay ... *but then she's cut off by Melli's entrance. She looks a bit uncomfortable as the woman greets Tavin, and then turns decidedly red at her wink*
I . . that is . .. ehm . .. hello, Melliandra.

Melliandra.

Is that all? *Melli chuckles and hooks her arm through his* Aren't you thrilled to see me, dear? Or have I spoiled your little monologue on the humble glories of humanity?
*She grins over at Maggie* Don't mind him, he's just being grumpy.

*Maggie looks back and forth between them uneasily. Mell had been downright nice to her the last time they'd met - much to her current embarassment - but Tavin's warning about her stands out clearly in her memory*

You been busy, Melli?

*Mell releases his arm as he pulls away* Never a dull moment.
*She perches on the table near Maggie, glancing briefly down at her needlework* Ahh, for your little boy? *she asks, sounding downright sweet about it*

Aye, *Maggie nods, repeating her earlier explanation* He's in need of some warmer things for wintertime ... *she shoots a questioning glance at Tavin, as though looking to him for guidance in how to deal with Melliandra. She seems quite nice, now, but Maggie knows Tavin wouldn't have cautioned her without reason*

You know, I can't help but wonder why you would have any intrest in Will, Melli.

*Melliandra merely smiles* Can't you?
You're always telling me I ought to invest in others a little more. I never get much of a chance outside, coming and going as I do, but here ... *she rests a hand on Maggie's shoulder, casually* Here you can really get to know a person.
Besides, *she flashes Maggie an affectionate sort of grin before turning back to Tavin* We old-fashioned girls ought to stand by each other, don't you agree?

Oh, of a sort.
I met your son not too long ago. Apple didn't fall far, did it?
