*Maggies eyes fill with sympathy at Cora's words, and she reaches over instinctively to take her hand* 'Tis a new and frightening thing for ye, is it not? 'Tis no wonder ye'd find it overwhelming . . .

:::Cora's troubles melt a bit at Maggie's touch. Her lips draw slightly at the corners:::
I would do anything to protect the people here...you are my people now.

*Tavin smiles warmly, and pokes the medalion hanging around Cora's neck*
You'll always have friends. ALWAYS. Because no matter what time you happen to be in on the outside, The Brink of Time and all of us in it exist then too.

*Squeezes Cora's hand reassuringly* We all take care of each other here, as best we can . . . 'tis not always as much as we might wish te be able to do . . . but 'tis enough. It has te be enough.

:::Cora's head pops up when Tavin prodded her necklace...it reminded her of Robyn, and her necklace:::
Captain! I have something for you! :::She reaches into her center utility compartment and pulls out two photos of small neko children...utterly strange to Cora, but seemingly very important to Robyn:::
These were given to me by a woman named Robyn...she needed me to give these to you. :::she hands the photos to Tavin:::

*Tavin took the pictures wordlessly and stared at them, not moving, not blinking, for a long few minutes. Then tears started to well up in his eyes and he started sobbing, burying his face in his hands*
Oh... God..... My... my... my... ch-children..... What if I never see... see them again..... They're so b.. b.. beautiful.....

:::Cora's jaw dropped, she hardly expected that reaction from her Captain...they were just offspring...:::
Goodness Captain!! What is wrong?? :::She wasn't sure how to console him...what kind of touch did one use in this situation?:::

*Tavin continues to sob at the sight of his children, slowly growing up without him*
No... I.. I won't.... This is God's curse... He'll only allow me to see my children through snippets and glances.... By refusing to be an Angel, I have found joy... a family... So God has decided to take it away from me.... I... I don't deserve this... I just DON'T deserve this!!!!!

:::Cora just sat, her mouth still open...as though an idea about how to help would mysteriously come out with her breathe, but nothing came...she didn't know how to comfort him...she knew nothing on the subject:::

*Tavin gritted his teeth together and stood up from the table, walking towards the bar*
This... this is simply too much to bear.... I.. I can't simply sit by and let that b*****d take my family away from me........ If he thinks he can simply do so... He's in for a very nasty surprise!
*Tavin pulls out a glass and some burboun and pour it, downing the glass in one gulp*

*frowns uneasily* Tavin . . . I know ye're angry . . . and with just cause . . . but . . *trails off, not knowing how to say what she wants to, or that she even has a right to*

What is it, Maggie. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not completely irrational... at least not yet.

:::is Tavin talking about God..? Either way, Cora finally decided what she could do. She got up from her chair, and walked to the bar. She took Tavin's free hand in hers, and squeezed it, as Maggie had for her moments ago:::
We are your friends, your people. We would do anything to help you...If there is anything, anyway...I would be honored, and first in line to step up to even the greatest opponent.
