:::She looked up at him, still chewing:::
Ihm schtill breathdingm
:::She reassured him. She finished chewing that bite, and looked down at the plate in a brief pause. With a couple more strands fitted between her fingers, she looked up at Luke, a little guiltily:::
I...don't think I'll be able to consume this whole meal, Luke.

*There she went looking guilty again. Was she serious? Damn, was there ever a moment when this chick didn't have a free floating guilt complex?*
Oh no. No, you don't want to do that. That's a very serious offense here in 2002.

:::Cora actually coughed, chocking just slightly trying to swallow. The news had startled her. She recomposed herself momentarily, with utter remorse in her eyes:::
Goodness! I'm sorry...I'll be sure not to suggest such a thing again.

Oh yeah. Failing to finish a dinner between 4 and 10 'o clock at night - that's a 621.
*His devious smile sneaks in.* They throw you in Federal for that.

:::She picked up another couple strands, stuffing them in her mouth, chewing and deliberating simultaniously. Cora weighed her options:::
Finishing this whole portion will quite likely leave me ill...is there a restriction on nutrion intake hours here? I may be able to eat very slowly until 10 o'clock...
:::She picked up another pinch, this one slipping a little, and Cora compensated by widening her mouth to catch the falling strands:::

*Luke acts quick and pulls her wrist back down, causing the spaghetti to fall back into the bowl amongst its brethern.*
Put the noodles down - don't hurt yourself.
Now, did you really think I was serious? C'mon what did I tell you about the cops in 2002?

:::Cora was surprised by Luke's hand grabbing her in the middle of a bite:::
B-but... I didn't think you were... I mean. What reason do you have to lie to me? I thought you were telling me the truth.
:::She looked like a puppy again, a very sad puppy...who just ate too much spaghetti:::

Lie is such an ugly word.
*looks her in the eye, to make sure they're on the same wave length ... and to make sure she knows he's harmless.*
I was joking, Slim.

Yeah, joking. Like ... teasing, messing with you. The opposite of being serious.

:::She looked down and to the side, not saying anything. Cora wasn't good at picking that sort of thing up. A lot of what she heard in the brink, if not all of it, she'd taken quite literally. She was entirely new to the idea of saying things you don't mean:::

You ought to be used to it by now. *smirks* I've teased you plenty of times.

:::She blinks, still looking rather upset with herself:::
You have..?
:::She thought back and was able to remember a few moments when misunderstanding Luke, he had told her he was not being serious:::
I still...can't surmise when... or when you're not being serious.

*Luke thought about that one. Was there anything inherent in teasing ... really inherent that you could---*
*Luke took a deep, thoughtful breath - or rather feigned one.* So you're saying you wish there was a pass code .... you know, a signal we could use - when we're not being serious.

:::Cora shrugged, not really looking at him:::
I just...don't know when such a situation would be neccessary...I've never been anything BUT serious I think.
