:::Cora just chuckles again:::
You are suddenly so shy Maggie. The night everyone tried to explain to me what love was, you all said that it was an attraction between two people, exclusively. And then there was the act of reproduction, the ultimate act of touching that goes along with love.
:::She smiled::: And now you act as though you do not recognize it.

Cora, really! *clutches her hands together in her lap and looks down at them, her face burning, clearly flustered* Ye . . . I . . . . that is . . .
*takes a breath and releases it slowly, wishing very much that she had something there to distract her* I think perhaps ye may have the wrong idea. I know ye wish te learn more about . . . about love . . .
*asserts herself, a little calmer now* But I'm na' the person te ask about it.

((Hullo people >_<' ))
*Shosuro was sleeping... dreaming... a lot of things, moments of his life, were in his dreams now, no more than dreams... when he married with the princess of the Seraphims in Helleaven, when he and Shisuro were fighting actually trying to kill each other, when he named himself High General of the Human Army against the Devils... all that a long time ago... Shosuro was a demon yeah, but he could sense the reality as a human, and he was starting to think is a good thing to Die before your 100th birthday. He suddenly wake up, he was alone in the room 12. still tired, sleep was not the thing it used to be, now even sleeping he could not rest. He moved to the door, thinking, when he was outside the room he moved directly to the bar taking a bottle of water*

:::Cora just looked away from Maggie and smiled knowling, but then attempted an appology:::
I'm sorry. I did not mean to pry. It must be a very sensitive subject. Forgive me for not being familiar with it.
:::Then she saw a stranger walk on in, straight to the bar. She felt her gut twist. Her last encounter with a stranger was not the best, but she hid her anxiety best she could. She introduced herself:::
Hail, citizen. I am First rank Officer Cora Serenis from the house of El. Please state your name and sta- :::but then he was gone as quickly as he came:::
:::she looked at Maggie, and shrugged:::

*Blinks, wondering if she saw who she though she saw . . . but frankly quite glad for the distraction*
Sometimes people come and go quite quickly, do they not?

:::she nodded:::
Yes indeed. I wonder sometimes if I do not know even half the people that come here because they arrive at odd times. And then I think about whether or not the brink means it to be that way.

There's a great deal we dinna know about the nature of this place. Likely, most of it we ne'er will.

:::nod:::
It has troubled me a bit...I have felt that this is a second home to me. It has even begun to replace my first home, and yet there is so much I do not know. So much I cannot understand, that no one can begin to explain to me. ...I wonder, if that is unhealthy.
:::She suddenly felt torn. Cora hated that she began to doubt the world she was born into, but now she was beginning to doubt the place she'd come to feel accepted. It was just that much worse:::

One has to wonder how long you can go on believing in something so blindly... if there is no proof, what is the point in believing it?
:::she looks sad for a moment::: I began to love this place more than my home. It was so easy. Where I am from, I have no one, and I am nothing to anyone. Then I appear here and suddenly I matter. I have friendship and emotion. But how far will that take me...? I am going anywhere at all?
:::she shakes her head, sort of snapping out of it:::
I am sorry for going on like that. This is perhaps the most lost I've felt in a long time.

Cora . . . ye've no need te apologize te me. This place is overwhelming and confusing te all of us at times.
*reaches out to take her hand* But, some things, Cora . . . ye canna prove. Some things ye simply must have faith in. I dinna know why ye're here, or why I'm here . . . but I do believe there is a reason, even if we canna yet see it.

Faith...that is what they call it. :::she looks at Maggie's hand with hers, and she smiles sadly:::
The only thing that I really know is that you are my friends, and that means more to me than I can express. And for you I would do anything that I must.
