*smirks to Cora* Now you're gonna educate me about something? *goading her* C'mon babe. If you're gonna say something, say it.
*As he's saying this, Luke fades out.*

*Maggie looks back and forth between them, not quite sure she follows (or even that she wants to). But then, before they can clarify, Luke vanishes away*
Oh... fare well, Luke.

:::Cora shakes her head as he fades out. Eventually she regards Maggie with a wistful sigh:::
Is it possible... for someone to be afraid of... affection?

*Maggie tilts her head at the question, studying Cora's face* Aye ... *she responds after a moment, nodding* Aye, I daresay it is.

:::She motions for Maggie to take a seat with her at the bar:::
You know, it's strange. Luke is the best friend I have, but for some reason he just refuses to talk about it... :::She smirks at herself::: He makes me feel embarassed for wanting to talk about it sometimes. I can't figure out why.

About ... affection? *Maggie asks, still a bit unclear on the topic, as she sits with her friend. She mulls for a moment before continuing* I suppose ... for some people ... it doesna come easily te speak of such things.

Hehe... obviously.
:::She says as she picks up and examines the bottle of half finished beer. No wounded soldiers... she thought as she began to drink the rest. She tried really hard not to make a face, it wasn't a Corona afterall:::
I found out today that he has a sister... it almost got us in trouble last time I visited his time because I pose as his cousin... and it was obvious that I didn't know about his family.

*Maggie nods again, starting to understand* Aye, I recall him mentioning a sister once or twice before. Ne'er often, though, and ne'er much beyond that about her.

She's a vegetarian, good at mathematics, well behaved, and a student of the same school as Luke. And her name is Nora. That's really as much as I know about his family. Oh... and he has a father, but I heard about that from Alex, and not Luke.
That's really all I know about his relatives. :::She swigs some more beer. Becoming a bit more numb to the taste:::

Family can be ... a difficult thing te speak of. *She looks away, then back* For many reasons, I suppose.

:::She saw Maggie's break from gaze and wondered if that meant it was hard for Maggie to talk about it too:::
Mmm... well, family or not, Luke just has trouble discussing any matters that have to do with his feelings. It's strange... I used to think that perhaps men were like that in general, after I met his male friends, but Bard isn't like that, and Alex certainly isn't like that. Neither is the Captain, nor was... Tacitus.

Well ... I have known men like that. *She smiles faintly* And at least one woman, as well. I daresay 'tis just a matter of a person's nature.

I think you're right... I mean, I'm no expert. But I'm starting to think that Luke has serious trouble expressing his emotions.

*Maggie presses her lips together to subdue her smile at Cora's expression* I am sure he finds a way te say what he feels when he has need te, e'en if not in words.

:::Cora thinks about that for a moment... afterall, he wasn't entirely without affection:::
True... but like I just said. I'm no expert at this... and sometimes I have questions about things... :::She already felt embarassed, even without Luke there to turn her questions down:::
