'Tis understandable that ye would, *Maggie's quick to reassure her* We, each of us, may'na always know how te give ye the answers ye seek, but that doesna mean 'tis wrong of ye te have those questions.

Yeah... the cosmo magazines help but, something tells me I shouldn't rely on them entirely.
:::But just the Cora realizes that of course Maggie would have no idea what she was talking about:::
They're... uhm a gathering of different writings, about 20th and 21st century womens' interests. There's SO much information about the differences between men and women. I never realized how different we all could be within the same species.
:::Is that why I'm dating a cat..?:::

Cosmo magazines ... *Maggie nods slowly* The library certainly does have a great deal of information about all manner of things.. *she clears her throat, suddenly looking a bit self conscious*

...is something the matter, Maggie?

Oh, nay. *She shakes her head, perhaps a bit too quickly* Nay. Just .... thinking, I suppose. *she fumbles a little before finding what she thinks is a safer conversational direction* About ... how different things are. Between each of our worlds and times, that is.

:::She lifts the beer bottle as if to toast to that:::
Indeed.... it's like the earth has been hundreds of different worlds, all in one place, just all at different times. I wonder... if people like you and I are luckier for getting a glimpse of it all.
:::Cora used to think she was very lucky for having seen it.... now, she wasn't so sure, and she took a swig of the beer:::

*Maggie considers that for a long quiet moment* I . .. I think we are.
'Tis ... hard, sometimes, *she continues, acknowledging softly* Te have only the glimpse and nothing more. *she stares off at some point in the distance, then looks down at her hands, folding them in her lap*
Still ... I am grateful.

:::Cora knew that look... that one where something you want is so close, but so far:::
Has it made you question your own time? Do you ever wish you could... live somewhere else?

*Again, it takes Maggie a few minutes before she answers* . . . Aye. *it seems a struggle for her to admit it at all* For myself and ... for Will. That he might have a world where... *she trails off*
Well.
I have much te be thankful for in my world, my time, though. *She focuses on that thought to remind herself* And I think ... I hope, at least ... that mayhap I am better for having learned the things I have, here. Surely that is no small thing.

:::Cora thought about what that meant for someone like Maggie:::
Mmm... understanding even the most simple advances in health and medicine could alone be worth the stay here. :::She relented all those familiar, human advancement thoughts she was raised to live off of, and she sighed:::
Though, there are other ways to measure the experiences here... mm?

Aye, *Maggie reaches out to take her friend's hand, and she smiles, if a bit wistfully* More than anything, I am glad that .. *but her words fade, along with the rest of her, before she can finish them*
**Exit Maggie**

:::Cora sighs again as Maggie fades out... the wine, and then the rest of the beer were causing just the faintest bit of relaxation in her bones. It was nice enough, but with no company to share it with, she realized it wasn't nearly as nice as it could be:::
:::Before long, Cora too got up and left the main hall to go back to the library. She planned to take a break from the quantum mechanics and time space theories to take a look at documentation of human nature... a much deeper and more confusing persuit, if you ask Cora:::

**Enter Maggie**
*Maggie fades in, seated in one of the many chairs, hunched forward over her sewing and humming quietly*

Felicity fades in to the Brink, leaning forward at a table with a pair of small scissors in her hand poised to trim her bangs. She realizes the small mirror she'd had on her desk is now gone and straightens up, sighing slightly and setting the scissors down. Of all the things to be doing when pulled into this place. ...Well, it could always be worse.
She looks over her shoulder, hearing someone humming, and sees Maggie sitting at the other side of the room. Felicity doesn't recognize her, but isn't sure whether to say anything just yet. She looks busy. "Um... hello," she says finally, waving to get her attention.

*Maggie looks up at the sound, realizing where she is* Oh ... good day te ye there. *She rises, setting her sewing aside, and searches her memory for a name* 'Twas ... Miss Felicity, aye?
