*Dafyd looks at the food curiously. He lifts a piece and samples it. The bread is fresh, the meat is fresh, and the cheese is young and without a hint of veining. There is fresh fruit to be had: clusters of grapes, strawberries, and bits of fruit he can't name. This is not common fare*
Your generosity is second to none, Sweet Margaret. This is a finer meal than even a king could want.

Everyone? Indeed? *he lifts his glass and sips the wine* Are there many of you, then? Here in... *he gestures around*

The Brink, *Maggie finishes for him, nodding* Aye there are several of us that come here. Luke and Bard and Cora, they all tended te ye as well, I've no doubt they'll want te knew how ye're faring when they appear next, and ... *she trails off and then looks at him apologetically*
Fergive me, there's so much ye need te be told about this place, and I'm doing a poor job of it thus far. Ye must have so many questions .. . and for what answers I do have, I fear ye're bound te think me quite mad.

I would expect no less. All great men and stories have a touch of madness in them. *he smirks at her and drinks his wine*
Tell me yours, and I guarantee it won't be the strangest tale I've ever heard.

*Maggie takes a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking*
This place . . . 'tis magic, really. It exists outside of time somehow. Every person who comes here, comes from a different place, a different time . . . some of us hundreds, even thousands of years apart. We appear here, in and out without warning. And when we are sent back to our homes, 'tis to the exact same moment we left, as though nothing happened at all.
*She pauses, trying to gauge his reaction, and then adds* That is why ye didna see me when ye first awoke. I wasna there yet.

*Luke fades into the Brink walking towards the bar. He's dressed in gym clothes and he's got his earphones on.* Lovin'swhat i got...
*Luke blinks and takes his earphones out when the music stops and he sees he's in the Brink. Weak... He really needed to head to the gym.*
*nods to her* Hey, Mag.
*Then he sees Sir David.* Hey. Look who's up. How you feelin' man?

*Dafyd regards Luke's sudden appearance and Maggie's words, stroking his chin*
Remarkable. *he seems to consider for a moment, and he takes a sip of wine* Nothing short of remarkable.
*he ignores Luke's question for a moment, and instead says* And the two of you... and these others of whom you speak... all of you come from different times... different places?

Luke . . hello. *Maggie smiles toward him in greeting, but she doesn't ask him how he is. Not yet*
*She looks back to Dafyd at his question and nods* Aye, just so. My home is in Ainsford, in England, year of our lord fifteen hundred and sixty-eight. Luke is a few hundred years ahead of me, in . . *she pauses and turns toward him for verification* America, aye?

Yup. US of A. *Luke always feels weird explaining these things. Like an AA meeting for people who can't stop time traveling.* Two thousand and .. just about three soon. *Luke watches Sir David for a reaction as he gets himself a Gatorade.*
*He nods to Maggie and points to the drinks behind the bar to see if she wants anything.*

*Dafyd absorbs what they say with interest. America has no meaning for him, but Angland most certainly does. Anno Domini 1568... more than a thousand years in his future. He thought the world would be over by then. The Angles still thrive apparently. What of the Prydeni?*
And who is king in Angland in the year fifteen-hundred and sixty-eight?

*Maggie shakes her head toward Luke at his offer* I'm alright, thank ye though.
*And then to Dafyd* King? Oh, nay, we've a queen now. Queen Elizabeth.

Queen... *Dafyd cannot conceal his surprise* She is not wedded to a king?

*When Maggie declines a drink, Luke takes a seat at the table with Maggie and Sir David. He opens his Gatorade and takes a swig.*

Nay, she's ne'er married, and ne'er intends to from what I've heard.
