*Luke appears, standing a few feet from the bar. He'd been listening to a speaker in the college's auditorium, and he finds he's thankful for the break.*

:::Cora emerges from the guest all entrance, and her eyes instinctively move over the room. They focus on the figure at the bar, and suddenly light up. It was all she could do to keep herself from running up to him. She'd had a strange feeling for... who knows how long... that he was missing:::
Luke! :::walking towards him:::

*A grin spread across Luke's face. He sprung up a little to meet her halfway.* He-ey. *Luke pulled her into a hug and asks in a quiet voice.* What's been up, babe?

:::Cora held on a little while and took a breath of his clothes:::
You know... the same thing.
:::She realized that he was holding on too, and she wondered if maybe Luke also knew how long he was away... maybe she wasn't imagining it, but she hesitated to mention:::
I-
:::But Luke just raises and eyebrown and waits for her to finish what she's saying:::
I feel like... you haven't been back here in a while. :::As soon as the words come out, she tries passing it off::: But I can't really tell...

*Luke eyes her oddly for a moment. Not too much time had passed since his last (intense ... very intense) trip to the Brink.*
*But Luke relaxes and sends her his I-just-bench-pressed-the-world grin.* Aw, you missed me, huh? *nods* Well, that's understandable.

:::I was just overthinking it then...
Cora smirks bashfully and looks down at her feet:::
It must have been really boring around here...

:::She gives him a playful whap to the shoulder, breaking the embrace. Then she goes and takes a seat at the bar, beckoning him over:::
Come on. Drinks on me.

Unless you'd rather...

Good... good.
:::She gets up::: The service here takes forever, so I'm just going to get the drinks myself.
:::From behind the bar she grabs a bottle of Budweiser (uncapping it with her hand), and then she picks out a wine for herself and pours. All the bar jargin reminded her:::
How's everyone in 2003..?

From... college. *As Luke says this, he realizes that though Cora's been to his campus twice, he hasn't really talked to her about the reasons they are all there.*
He's a senior. We have a four-year program and being a senior means he's in his fourth year. After his fourth year, he's finished. They give him his degree and once he has that, he goes to get a job.
