*Alex came out with two glasses of Merlot*
My dear, if you would like some while I start our dinner?

:::But she'd hardly payed attention to the wine:::
Alex look! Today in central park...
:::And she proceded to repeat the news story to him verbatum... in almost the same voice as the news caster.:::

*Alex nodded*
Is that so. That's definately something to know, that's for certain. Shall I leave the wine here for you on the table, Cora?

Oh! :::She snapped out of it a bit:::
No, I'll take it. :::And she smiles as she reaches out for it. She'd been distracted again by Alex's ears though. She didn't mean to stare it was just...:::

Takes some getting used to, huh? I agree.
*Alex handed Cora her glass and then headed back towards the kitchen*
Most people freak out when they SEE the ears, not when they're gone. Its kind of refreshing being treated as normal when everyone else in the world would consider you as different... and the other way around.

:::She followed him now, quickly forgetting about the booming sound of broadcast television:::
So... this IS the same world that I come from...just, creatures like you have gone into hiding... there must not be too many humans who know about this... Because none of it is recorded. I don't even recall legend or rumors about people like you... Who do you show this to?
:::She wondered, sipping her wine:::

*Alex stopped before reaching the kitchen and turned around addressing Cora*
People we love. Now no peeking in the kitchen. I don''t want the surprise ruined.

:::She halted when he stopped, and stood still while he walked away... again staring where his tail should have been...:::
hm!
:::She remarked into her wine, and turned around to go back to the television. Soon she was back to playing with the controls. Flipping through channels as fast as she could, and only stopping very randomly, at which point she would become a zombie for a few minutes, then go back to flipping as fast as she could press the button:::

I've got a few minutes now. Want to sit down on the couch with me?

::::Cora turns the volume of the television all the way down, and gets up from the floor, picking up her wine glass as she stood. She walked up to Alex with a bright expression, passing the couch...:::
Alright. Where's that?

*Alex pointed* The enlongated seat with the cushions?
Have a seat. We can talk or watch TV or something.

Oh...!
:::She turned around and sat herself onto the couch, grabbing a tighter hold of her wine. She didn't quite expect the cushions to recende under her weight. Nothing in her native time, or in the brink felt like this, not even her bed:::
Oh...this is strange. The seat is soft...

:::She pats the cushion with her free hand, still holding up her wine as though she was balancing her weight with it:::
hm... Yes, I think so. I've never felt anything like this though...
:::She smiled up at him:::

So what do you want to do while we wait?
