*Melliandra leans back, shaking her head in amusement* Oh, silly girl. You're as naive as you are gullible.

*Luke on the other hand finds nothing humorous about the situation. He responds quickly without thinking.*
You've seen more than one??

Just...be quiet...
Janani seems put off. She's suddenly thinking about the fact that she couldn't even defend herself against that demon that managed to hunt her down... She was only looking for her brother, and she ended up on the brink of death... Heaving a sigh, she finally hears Luke.
Huh? No... I've neve seen a Seraphim... The elders just...told me about them...
Janani just isn't telling them why the elders told her. She's the youngest in her village, besides her brother, to know of the more powerful Angels. Some wouldn't even call the Shards more than Celestial beings, but the Shards refered to themselves, collectively with others on the same plane, Angels as well. Janani knows what she does because she's heir to the greatest power in the village, second to her brother's inheritance at least...

Haven't you? Pity. *Mell shrugs* Though you're not missing much. And really, once you've seen one, you've seen them all ...

*WTF? Why the hell hadn't-*
Well, how many are there? *to Janani* What else did they tell you?

Janani looks at the two... She knows that Angels pretty much stay out of human lives as much as possible unless Demons are after them... She opens her mouth to speak, but instead only blinks as she tries to come up with something to say. Janani doesn't know much more...
You've seen Seraphim? Angels... Interferance isn't supposed to...
Janani shakes her head like she has a headache now. She doesn't know what's going on. For some reason, they seem...afraid. Why?!
I don't know how many... I'm a Shard...one of the lowest tiers of Angels, sometimes simply called Celestial... The elders told me to take orders from higher tiers, like Seraphim, without question... They said I'd know Seraphim once I saw one... Why...Why all these questions?

Why darling, haven't you learned yet? Humans are just insatiably curious about every little thing!
Though its sadly clear that you and your people don't know nearly as much as you'd like to think. Isn't that a shame, Luke? *she flashes him a grin*

*to Janani* Because one of your Seraphim has been comin around terrorizing the living s**t out of everyone that comes through here. *Or more than one. How the ******** would he know?*
*Luke shoots Mel a look, before looking back at Janani*

The... The...
Janani's at a loss for words. She nearly in tears listening to this.
It's blastphomey; it's blastphomey; it's blastphome... IT'S BLASTPHOMEY!!
Janani's nearly out of breath as she stares at the two speaking things that would be taken as utter nonsense in her village. The Seraphim... They can't...
THEY CAN'T!! They wouldn't... They CAN'T without a reason!
Janani now has tears in her eyes. The Seraphim can't terrorize humans!
Only a demon...
Janani was about to say "do that." but she fades out before another word can issue from her mouth. It's not that her ideals were challenged. It's that her very being were called into question... Such a sad expression leaving the Brink... Usually finding herself alone, Janani is instead "terrorized" by Mel...and psyche ultimately hurt by Luke's comments.

*Mell leans back in her seat and polishes off the rest of her drink* My my, it seems we've sent her into spiritual crisis.

*Luke is still staring at where Janani had her nervous breakdown. He turns to see Mel.... delighted by this?*
What? That's entertaining to you?

Mildly amusing, at least, though all too predictable. It's one of the hazards of blind faith, you know. *she shrugs lightly* Believe everything you're told without question and sooner or later something will come along to undermine it all.

*Luke makes a derogatory noise and kicks back most of Janani's drink. At least she got something right.*

*Melliandra stands and stretches* Well darling, if you're not going to take me up on my offer, I do believe it's time for me to seek adventure elsewhere.
*She starts over toward the keys, calling back toward him* Though I'll leave it stand for when we meet again.

*Luke downs the rest of the drink, sets it on the bar, and turns towards the guest rooms.*
I'm not gonna hit you, Melliandra.
