:::When he motions for her to join him on the floor, she assumes that people in his do this normally. She knelt down, steadies her upperbody with one arm and lowered herself onto the floor next to him:::

:::She nods::: I saw you last night...I must appologize for losing my composure the way I did. Reacting in such a way is the last thing I am able to afford in my position. :::She suddenly felt a bit ashamed of herself:::

Tac put his arm around her, not really doing it consciously, but doing it all the same. He glanced up into the darkness as he began, "Cora, I feel that it is better for one to simply snap sometimes. Not like complete total mental breakdown, but just let off some steam. I was reading through a newspaper editorial about some wierd psychology stuff, the Id, Ego, and Superego, that stuff. Wasn't reading it, but more of distracted by it, taking a break from staring at plans. They made an analogy that the whole thing was one big pressure cooker. The Id was the steam and stuff building up, wanting to get out and do whatever, the superego was the top holding the Id down, and the Ego was like a release valve, letting off some steam."

He dropped his gaze down to his feet that were stretched out before him, leaning his head against hers, "You understand that at all? I think I may have been babbling. The point is like, you need to like, let off some steam before you explode. I let off steam all the time. Not like anger, just steam from the example. Instead of doing what I have to do, I do whatever I feel like."

As he left his arm around her he began to slightly caress her arm/side, "People need to just relax sometimes, let whatever is inside out before they pop and go all crazy and stuff. I'm better the pressure just built up on ya, started to pop. Just like, talk to someone sometimes, get all your feelings about it out in the open. Anytime you need to talk to me and I'm here, I'll listen."

:::At first she's not sure how to react with all the contact, but of course it feels good and she warms up to it quickly:::

:::She nods::: I think I understand what you m- :::Cora cuts herself off when she hears a rather loud noise come from the main room. She turns to Tac abrubptly:::

Did you hear that? :::She didn't wait for him to answer. She knew that it was the distinct sound of a body hitting the floor. In one quick motion she was up on her feet and headed towards the main room:::

((Tac asked me to fill in for him for a sec))

:::Tacitus looks up just in time to see her go out the door. He quickly stands up to follow her:::

Tac scooted past Cora as they entered the rooms area, he glanced around, looking one way, and then the other. He shuffled along till he came to Luke's room and popped the key into the lock, and opened the door, opening it wide and stepping out of the way for Cora to bring Luke in.

*Enter Cora and Luke from Main room 465*

:::Cora manuvers herself and Luke's body through the door way and into the room. As it was last time she saw it...:::

*It's true, the room hasn't changed much, aside from one missing box of Lucky Charms and a slightly clearer floor. It's a typical college dorm room come to life, complete with posters of football teams and half-naked girls. There is a computer in one corner, and a vanity in the other with only aftershave, toothpaste, and a toothbrush.*

*There is an unmade bed off to the side with lots of pillows and blankets atop it...*

:::Cora assumes that the large, somewhat flat surface is where Luke sleeps. She walked up to the edge of the bed, and lowered Luke's body down onto it. She made sure that he was layed out in a comfortable position, then did another 1,2, look over him to make sure she didn't miss any injuries. When she was satisfied, Cora stared down at his face. She abscently brushed a peice of his hair out of his face:::

:::A bit pained::: Don't worry, Luke. I won't let him get away with this. :::She knew the Seraphim could hear her, she was glad of it. Then she bent down and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She was starting to understand that kisses didn't have to just mean 'thank you':::

:::She turned back to Tacitus, wondering if he knew anything about the Seraphim...but if he didn't ask, she wouldn't tell him:::

Tac watches Cora set Luke down and half-maneuvers through the room, stopping mid way, "Do...do you think we should stay here and see if he'll be ok, or like leave him be and let him rest?" He wanted to spend some time alone with Cora, what little they would have in the Brink was prescious atfer all, but there were other concerns. He was torn inside between his naturally helpful side and that strong part of him that wanted to be alone with Cora.

:::Cora shakes her head as she moves towards Tac. She looks back at Luke a moment:::

I wouldn't expect Luke to awake for many hours. The healing process is best performed while he sleeps...there is not much more we can do for him. :::The calm in her voice sounds very forced. She obviously very distrubed by all of this:::
PostPosted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 11:44 pm


With one last look back to Luke he extended his hand to Cora, "Might as well just leave him to rest, anyone who gets the s**t beat out of them like that deserves rest. Come on, lets go back to my room, I lef the door open. That way if he suddenly wakes up or we," he paused for a moment, clearing his throat, "get an unexpected visitor, we can look after Luke...or something."

:::With a rather sad expression, Cora merely nodded, and followed Tac out of Luke's room, towards his:::

As they exited the room Tac quietly shut the door, passing through the hallways to his own open door. He glanced around and realized he had no chairs, never had a need for any really. He scratched his head, "I really need to get some chairs...you want to sit on the floor or the bed. Must say though, the bed is kinda wierd, and uh, nevermind." He didn't think it appropriate to have her on a bed that he called his own, and, as is evident by the nubs of horns, the Taint would never fully be removed. Yet, such is humanity.

:::Cora still wore the same sullen face she had on in Luke's room. She didn't manage to shrug her shoulders all the way:::

Whatever is done in your society. I will not mind. :::She did think it was strange that there were no chairs, but she thought maybe that his people didn't customarily sit in them:::

Tac pulled the blanket off the bed and spread it on the floor up against the wall, leaning up against it and sliding down slowly, like before producing another soft thump. He patted the blanket next to him for Cora to sit down, "Down in spirits, guess it'd just fit to sit on the floor. I should like take a chair or two from the main room one of these days...kinda wierd to be without a chair, like, all Japanese Culture and stuff."

:::Cora complies and sits down on the blanket next to Tac, though she can't get her mind off of what has happened to Luke, and what it meant that the Seraphim was attacking people one by one... She wanted it out of her thoughts, she just wanted to be comfortable again. Cora bit her lip and propped her shoulder under Tacs, almost feeling as though she was risking an inappropriate form of physical contact, but she decided to try...:::
