Luana takes the water and sips it, careful not to look in Tavin's direction.
"I think, maybe I should go."

:::Cora wastes no time in prepairing her medical materials. The scratches are pretty extensive, but with a little time her epidermal adhesive would allow it to heal cleanly:::
:::Then she hears Luana say she wants to leave:::
Don't you want to know why this happened? Do you want to know why the things he heard us say made him act this way...

Keeping her eyes away from the scene had helped Luana stabelize quite a bit. She weighed it. Yes, she could stay.
"If you want to tell me, then yes. What was it?"

Wai...
Janani looks at the distress apparent on Luana's face. What, exactly, happened? That would be a question best saved for Cora. She knew better than to put Luana through something disturbing her so. She did want to talk to one of her friends in this place...and a friend from the same time period as her.
You won't stay and talk a bit? I haven't seen you in a while.
When Cora speaks, it confirms the tense feeling in the air. They 'made' him act this way in the things they said? Janani blinks, curiousity piqued.
Cora...? What...did happen...?
Almost instantly does she cover her mouth. What if such things were too hard for Luana. She can be so forgetful sometimes.
No... Never mind...

Ever since he's been here in the Brink... since this has been his home... the Captain has been under attack. The Seraphim wants control of the Brink to wage some terrible war on heaven. Tavin... and some of us, if we can help it, are the only things stopping him from using it as a weapon.
The Seraphim is our enemy... that is our choice. And that choice meant that our loved ones are constantly under attack.
:::She began to apply the strangly texutred strips to his face and they began to cling to the skin, instantly sinching it together, encouraging the cells to regenerate faster than they would on their own:::
...this includes Tavin's wife and his two little children. The Seraphim tore their home appart, and they were seperated in time. His son, Alex... hasn't forgiven him for making the choice to fight. The captain blames himself... but I know the last thing he wants, is for his son to be put in any more danger.

Janani gives Cora a curious look as she comes around from the bar. She looks down at Tavin to see the cloth do their job. Then she looks back at Cora.
'the Seraphim is'...
She looks in careful consideration.
I've heard talk like this before...but...
She looks back to Tavin. He'd mentioned something similiar. Still...
...to think one of the great Seraphim would betray Heaven... It's almost...
Janani almost gasps at how much stronger she is now than the last time. She couldn't believe it last time, but now it made so much sense! A, not 'the' in her mind, Seraphim could hurt humans against GOD's Will because he followed Lucifer's example. He wants Heaven.

Luana opened her mouth, but closed it again, unsure of what to say.
The things to Cora had told her, about herself, about Tavin... Luana tried to process everything. Were fates like theirs what awaited her?
No, she decided. I'm not like them.
"I had no idea." She dropped her hand at last. "I know so little about him."

Both of you... you're here now. I'm going to be honest. As long as you appear here, the Seraphim is your enemy too, whether you want him to be or not. And he will do whatever it takes to gather this place for his arsenal. Whether that means chasing you out, or destroying you for standing in is way.
:::She puts some more patches onto Tavin's face:::
I'm not asking either of you to fight. I'm doing it because this is my home, and I have nothing else to lose but this, and all the people here.
Luana... I'm telling you becase I want you to think of why you're here. I lost my father, because I wanted revenge. I wanted to fight for what I had lost and my enemies hunted me until I reached this corner outside of space and time. I can only survive here now. If there's anything else you can do to protect the ones you love... anything aside from fighting, I urge you to chose it. You don't want to end up like us.
:::Cora finished patching up the last scratch, and she ran a gentle hand over Tavin's cheek:::

Without a word, Luana faded out.

((I just remembered I didn't log onto AIM whee ))
Janani listens to Cora's words, somewhat confused. Any enemy of Heaven was an anemy of hers! She turrns, about to say something to Luana, only to see her fade. A frown comes to the Celestial's face. She wanted to get some more details on finding Luana's house. Visiting her. She turns back to Cora.
Your past sounds harsh... The destiny of this place...seems to hang int he balance.
Then she pauses to think for a moment.
I do find it strange...that the other Seraphim don't help you...
Then again...Janani has to admit to herself...that she doesn't really know all that much... Only the Archangels know what GOD's will is...when HE wants to reveal it, at least. Then again...she supposes she doesn't even know that. This place has already tested her limited wisdom.

Janani gives Cora a strange look. Tavin was the only person whom remained unsurprised when she refered to the Seraphim as a plural... Kara and Luke were ghastly afraid of that revelation. She wasn't sure of telling Cora...but she does want to answer the question.
Well...I'm on a Celestial, so I've never actually seen any being stronger than an Angel...but sometimes one of the great Seraphim will deliver a message or mission to my elders.
Then she looks at Tavin, but she doesn't realize she whispers what she does next.
Cora, Luke, and Kara were surprised...but not Tavin...

:::Cora walked a few steps from Tavin's side to Janani:::
Janani... remember what I told you about being the Seraphim's enemy too. If there's anything at all you can tell me, you'd be helping all of us. You'd be helping to save Heaven. Is there anything at all you know...?

Janani shakes her head, and then one of her childish tendancies takes over. She takes hold of WhiteRose, hugging it tightly to her chest. She looks at Cora. She's sad. She doesn't have an answer.
I'm sorry, Cora... I'm only a Celestial...ranked below the Angels of Heaven... The Seraphim are second to the Archangels whom answer only to GOD, Himself...
This is all basic information to her people, the Shards. She's about to open her mouth to continue, but she fades without further warning...

:::But just when Cora's hopes were highest for the slightest bit of information... Janani is gone...:::
Damn it...! :::She huffs, in frustration... did the Brink really not want to her to know?:::
:::She turns her attention back to the Captain. He didn't show any signs of stirring, and she decided it would be best to carry him back to her room. There she would be able to keep an eye on him until he woke, and she could fix up her own wounds as well:::
:::again she hoisted him up, and carried him off towards the guest room hall:::
*Exit Cora and Tavin*
