:::She had thought so, but now she was just confused:::
Am I even capable of understanding that? I love you... but my understanding of it was disproportionate, wasn't it?

*It's not unpleasant hearing that Cora loves him, but...*
*Luke doesn't know what to say.*
Cora....There's just.... It's.... *Since when did he become a blithering moron.* There's some things we save for the people we're romantically involved with....

What does that mean...? To be romantically involved with? Those are the people you reserve certain types of affection for?

*Maggie pauses, not really eager to bring up a conversation that turned into an extremely awkward experience for her . . . but what else can she reference?* Do ye recall, when Bard tried te explain te ye about romance? Ye couldna understand why ye felt as though ye wanted to be close te just one person, rather than many . . ?

:::Cora lifted her head to look at Maggie, she nods, an inkling coming her way:::
Yes, I remember...

*Maggie is clearly not completely comfortable talking about this sort of thing, but she presses on anyways* Well, when ye find that one person . . . whom ye care for in a different manner than ye do anyone else . . . ye express those feelings ye have for them in a way ye wouldna with anyone else. Yer actions reflect what is in yer heart.

*Luke nodded, listening to Maggie. But he was also thinking of Tacitus. And how he was going to want to talk to Cora's new "suitor"....*

:::Cora manages to keep her chin up for more than just a couple seconds now. She nods to Maggie:::
I think...I understand that. So, a kiss... is only meant for one person. :::Suddenly she felt like falling off the face of the earth::: I should not have kissed all those people to thank them... or... :::She unconciously looked over at Luke, but when she saw his face she threw her gaze back on the floor. She realized what a taboo it must have been. The blood came rushing back to her face, and not in a good way:::

*Maggie clears her throat awkwardly, realizing she's going to have to do even more explaining* Cora . . . there are . . . different manners of kissing, just as there are different manners of caring . . . *she glances towards Luke, hoping he might pick up the ball for a while*

*Luke gets Maggie's cue. He clears his throat.*
Sure, Slim. Yeah...
Like... *He starts to describe.* When you kiss someone on the cheek or on the forehead, that's what you do with your good friends. With someone, who is -just a friend-.
Other kisses, like makin' out with someone... that's like... *VERY unintentionally the conversation moves back to Tacitus.* Tacitus kissed you like that? Months ago? How many months ago?

:::She's not sure why he's bringing Tacitus back up. She gets that she's allowed to share whatever kind of kisses with him, she needed to know which kisses she couldn't give to others...there was a lot of ground to cover:::
It's alright Luke, I understand that now, I just need to know all the other things that are not acceptable with those who I am not romantically involved.

Well you can't have sex with them.

*Maggie turns red, but she looks as resigned as she does embarrassed - she had a sinking feeling the conversation was going to come around to this*

:::Cora put her index finger to her lip:::
Mm...that's a good one to know. So... a hug with a friend is acceptable. And so are kisses on the cheek or on the forehead are also acceptable. But a kiss on the lips is only for those romantically involved. Anything else? I take it that contact with reproductive organs is also for those who are romantically involved...
