Janani kicks, slightly. She's possibly being roused from her sleep.

:::Cora looks around at each of them suddenly not enjoying the company as much...:::
Well it would do all of you well to know that this 'mate' who killed a girl is now thousands of 'mates'... ready to kill US. There's an army of Seraphim, all of them innumerable times stronger than you.
:::She begins to walk away::: Maybe you all couldn't give a damn about one another but this place is all I have... If it dies, I die.
:::now a few feet from them:::
I've told her, and I'll tell you... :::pointing at Janani::: If any of you lift a finger to help the Seraphim, don't expect any mercy from me... Either you're with me or against me. I'm tired of this...
:::She turns to leave finally:::

*cros stops searching and stands up* his usual inebriated demeanor dropped for the moment*
People die everyday, love. its just how it is... *he sweeps around the bar and moves over to her.... crossing the room with ease* doesn't matter if your a Pirate a constible a begger or a king... yer number is up one day or another.... could be in Twenty Odd years.... could be tomarrow... that girl over there... she could slip and fall on the slick floor, cut herself open on the shards and bleed to death right now..... its th' way of the world. ye don't have to like it.... ye can even hate it..... but ye still have to live with it..... savy? we all die some day, Cora lass..... its how we live that matters... if I spent every day lookin' over my shoulder because some hoogie boogie bogieman wants t'take a piece of me for bein with you lot, then I can't much meet my maker with a smile on m'face can I?
*he puts a hand on her shoulder.* Enjoy life.. live while ye can and face every moment faceing forward..
*he steps away* I may die tomarrow..... but atleast I'll have a good time doin' it *he toasts her and takes another swig from his hip flask*

*Mystina tilted her head* While Cross is right, I have my own reasons for fighting him.
If I helped him that'd make me a slave. Faeries would rather die than be slave to anyone, and I refuse to be slave to fear of this scum. On top of that, betraying people I care about would be a worse choice than death for me. I would lose all of the honor I have. Would I be able to look my daughter in the eyes knowing I'd betrayed people I cared about to save myself? I think not.

:::her face doesn't lighten in the least at the words from the only people she has to chose from as friends:::
:::Her voice is like ice::: Weren't you listening? THIS is my life. LOOK AT IT.
:::She spans the bar with her hands... destroyed... them standing among the broken glass and bits of tin and wood, spilled alcohol everywhere:::
I haven't left this place in over a YEAR. It's my HOME. You can't preach to me about living my life because I'm not even ALIVE. I don't exist anywhere! I'm just trying NOT TO DIE. You people are all I have! This place... that's all. This is IT.
:::there were no tears:::
If the Seraphim kills you all, and leaves me standing... I might as well have never existed. Forgive me for feeling a little bitter about that.
:::She turns again to leave, then points at Janani as she leaves:::
Watch your backs around that one...
*Exit Cora to guest hall*

She curls up tighter. Was she awake? More importantly, did she hear Cora's words? Regardless, she's still curled up, in a ball, upon the floor.

Right then..... *cross sighs to himself* people worry too much about their own lives endin' and not enough about livin' 'em.... she's just as much a slave as anyone under this.... whover's... thrill?...throll?.. *thinks a moment..*
Thrall. Right... where was I?.. ah.... if she wants to win against this chap.....chaps...chappies? then she needs to worry less about when her life's gonna end... and more 'bout how. *he empties his hipflask* Mystina, be a love and see if theirs not a botle of....er.... something.. hideing in that bit o' rubble
maybe some meat or cheese? havn't supped yet... and since I see whats sup the sup that I have not supped upon needs supping and if you suppose there is nothing to supp with then tell me suptly.. but if there is sup for my supposition then that would be suppurb for supper...savy?
*cross plunks himself down in one of the surviveing chairs and puts his boot up on half a table*

*Mystina tilted her head* Sure I can. *She smiled and started digging back behind what was left of the bar and found a bottle of something titled 'Green Fairy' and grabbed it, then found the fridge and rummaged through it. She wasn't really sure what ham was... so she grabbed the first strange thing that she saw, which happened to be hot dogs, because they looked...well... like a part of the body. She grabbed a plate of cheese, since she knew what that was.*
Er... is this ham? *She sorta plopped the plates in his lap* I know why she fear's Janani... because Seraphim is higher up in her line of Command, and can command her. She would not be able to disobey if he did, not without intervention from God.
In other words, she's stuck. Cora, is upset and seems to think Janani chooses this... We are going to speak to Tavin to find out if there's anything that can be done for her.
*Mystina wasn't sure if Janani wanted to be approached at this point, so she waited to see.*

A sniffle? Yep. The two-foot wing spanned giant, at least compared to those in the room, is, most assuredly, awake. She's just not moving from the curl on the floor yet...or talking.

*Cross picks up a hotdog and looks it over*... looks like bangers to me, love.... *takes a bite and chews slowly*.....tastes like meat midden... *he grabs the bottle of green fairy and looks it over* what's this then..? some kind of Peary?*
*he looks it over as he pops a wedge of cheese into his mouth*
(*a wine made from fermented pears)

*Mystina tilted her head* Meat... midden? *She makes a slightly disgusted face*
I don't know what a peary is, but, I liked the name of it. *She grinned and walked over to Janani* C'mon luv. I know you're awake. You don't have to be afraid, Captain Cross won't go off on you.

She hugs her Cat Plushie closer. They didn't know the whole truth...but, to protect them, she needed to keep this part a secret. The Seraphim... They knew the Shards' weakness... Quickly, she rolls over and latches onto Mystina, as a child would a mother, or at least a mother figure. She's sniffling, but at least she's not crying.

*Mystina hugged Janani and stroked her hair* Sh, it's okay duckie, it's okay. *She leaned over and kissed Janani's forehead* No one here is going to hurt you.

She shakes her head. She's not full-out crying. She's sniffling, sure, but she's not blubbering all over Mystina's clothes.
She does! She does hate me...
Sure, it's somewhat an exitable tone, but she's not yelling.
