Tac almost visibly cringed at the statement. <******** not even be talking with him at all, but now we're talking about me and Cora. ******** great. He cleared his throat before he continued, "Um, yeah. I don't think its specifically any of your business, but yes, Cora and I are romantically involved."

K looked back and forth between the two. Their expressions were priceless. He just arched an eye brow, and kept on working on his drink. He knew enough to stay out of this one.

*Luke smiles, that forced smile older brothers tend to get when talking to whatever young gentleman is courting their youngest sister.*
Yeah, you see... You'd think it wasn't any of my business, but it is, Tacitus. See, Cora's a friend of mine. A good friend.
Because we're friends, Cora's told me that you care about her, and that she cares about you. I like to hear that! That's something we have in common, see?
*Makes it clear* I don't have one complaint. Not about you. Not about you with Cora. *thinks "not yet"*
But I do have one question, just one..... and I want a straight answer. You don't have to answer right away. Take your time. It's an important question....
*levels* What're your intentions, man? Why are you so interested in Cora?

Tac stares Luke in the eye for a moment, only breaking the stare to readjust the orange tinted shades that make his orange eye appear little more than a white orb, the other, mostly black. He doesn't answer few a few moment, seeming to not even breathe. When he finally exhales he looks away for a moment and then back, but not straight on, "Its not the only reason, and its definately not the main one, but recently a loss has left a void in my life that I've only recently come to realize. Cora seems to...bring me out of my shell, as it were. I don't know how best to explain it." He took the shades off and held them between Luke and himself, almost pointing, "Haven't you ever met anyone that just seems to balance your life? Since I've met Cora I've taken a new look at the simple things in life everyone seems to take for granted. Things Cora doesn't get to experience. She shows me parts of me I never get to see, and I must admit, its not all that bad. When you've lived as long as I have you think you've come to know everything, but Cora showed me we're all still learning. I don't want to just share my world with her, I want to share my life with her."

*Luke listened intently to every word Tacitus had to say... Every time Tac gave pause, he nodded to show he was listening....*
*To put it bluntly, Luke has never been given such an answer to date. He smiles, this time it's much closer to geniune.*
....I like what you've got to say, Tacitus. I like what you've got to say a lot, in fact...
You and me. We're gonna get along just fine.
*Luke goes behind the bar. He takes out two beers from the fridge. He hands a brewskie to Tac and takes one for himself.*
*Luke pops it open and takes a long swig...*
Aaaah.... *He's still smiling* *He lets a good long moment go by, before he says.* Oh, I'm sure this goes without saying, but.... If you ever so much as think about hurting her in any way, shape, or form? I'll murder you in your sleep....
*chuckles a little, takes another swig* Ah, good beer... This was good.

K chuckles to himself, listening to the two, sipping his own drink. He'd given the same speech for his sister, he knew it all too well.

Tac pops open his beer and takes a drink, not one for alcohol, but it seemed appropriate. He was thinking to himself something to the fact that he was glad this little talk, or at least the larger chunk, was over with, On to Drinking! That sums it up too. After taking another swig he registered Luke's next to last comment, jokingly replying, "As a man of law, and a guy who enjoys sleeping, but not eternally, you have my word. That and I've lived long enough to know that when people say that, its a promise. Besides, theres not a fiber of my being that would ever even so much as joke about harm befalling her."

The old man faded into a chair away from the others, his old eyes training onthe book he was reading, one hand stroking his grey beard, not looking up. Though he did hear the commotion, he decided not to jump in as he read the rather old book in his hand.

*Luke nods, took another swig of beer and said.* Good to hear it...
*And as the words are said, he's as good as gone.*

K looks over to a table off in the distance, but before he could inquire about the stranger, he suddenly felt himself slipping away. He found himself not feeling so anxious about it this time, his heart didn't jump up into his throat, but it took a lot of thought for him not to freak. He was so busy thinking, in fact, that he didnt' get to say goodbye to Luke and Tac before he was completely out.

Tac took another drink of his beer before realizing the others had left, but it seemed the Brink had gained another occupant for the night. He seemed to be reading, so he left him alone, for the most part.
