:::He was quiet again, still his head hung. He stared at his own feet for a moment before realizing it was odd of him to just stop talking like that:::
She... She's carrying Luke's child, against his will.

That, Luana was not prepared to hear. "She... Luke's child? Why would she do such a thing?"

:::Kal was afraid that question would come:::
Because... I've refused to tell our people that we're appearing in the Brink... and she thinks that's the only way to get me to announce it.

"That's an act of desperation if I ever heard one." At last she wrapped an arm around Kal. Lu was obviously not the only one in trouble at home. "But you were waiting until everyone was ready, weren't you?"

:::He returned the embrace, thankful that she had offered it. It was his turn to let it out. Kal rested his forhead on her shoulder:::
Well... I, I can't tell them that we're coming here... not yet anyway. There are so many things going on, that just aren't right. If my people knew, things were just be mayhem... I just want... I want to know why things are so off. When I can explain all this, then I can let them know...
:::He took a breathe...trying to get too angry:::
But Kara... is making it so I don't have a choice...

"She's not the type to submit to the will of others, is she?" She hugged him. "I hope you can find a way to save the situation. I really don't know what else to say. I can't imagine the pressure you must be under."

:::Kal sighed, returning the hug:::
I don't know how much longer I can keep it from them... Very soon Kara is going to start showing, and the people will want answers. I just... wish I knew what to do about all this. I'm considering telling the head Elder... I have no idea how he's going to react though.

"I'm sure you'll think of something. You do what you have to. If that means telling your head Elder, then tell him. Whatever you do, don't wait. It'll probably only get worse if you do."

**Enter Maggie**
*Maggie fades in, stretching up on her tiptoes to reach ... something that's no longer there. She lowers herself back to flat feet, and looks around, to see Kal and Luana hugging each other.*
Ehm ... *she clears her throat awkwardly, afraid she might be interrupting a moment they'd prefer to have to themselves*

:::Kal nodded into her shoulder:::
:::He was about to say something else, when he suddenly realized that he was making the transition back to his own time.:::
Thank you for listening...
:::Without hesitation, and to his own surprise, Kal leaned back and placed a kiss on Luana's forehead. And within another moment, he was gone:::
*Exit Kal*

It took a moment for Luana's mind to register what had just happened. When Kal was gone she touched that spot on her forehead.
She turned to see Maggie. "Uh, hello there, Maggie!"

Luana smiled back, "As well as can be expected, I suppose. And you?"
