*Luke grimaces behind the door. Yeah, yeah they saw him....*
*Putting on a grin-and-bear-it-smile, he peeks around the door and says.* Hey.
*He gives a sincere look to Bard that says, "Sorry. man. I didn't mean to stop you from getting laid." And lord knows, he didn't. It was what every good guy deserved.*
*Luke looks at Maggie, back at Bard and clears his throat.* Yeah, so.... *points out the door, back and them, and to the door again.* I was just checking, you know, to see how you were. But you guys look great! So, yeah, right... I'm gonna head back, see who's at the bar.

*Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Maggie appreciates that Luke had just wanted to check up on her. She smiles faintly* ... I am better, Luke, thank ye . . .
*she pauses as he mentions checking for other people in the main room. There's one person for whom she has quite a few important questions. Frowning thoughtfully, she asks him before he goes* Have ye seen any sign of Tavin, at all . . ?

I admit... there's something I've wanted to ask Tavin also....

*Luke glanced over at Maggie and offfered her a half-smile. Yeah, she did look better.*
*blinks and answers them*
Tavin wasn't in there last I checked. *points a thumb* I could go back though. You never know with this place.

*Maggie rubs her arm absently. The cut on it has healed considerably, but she's still pretty sore overall, and she's obviously got a lot weighing on her mind right now*
*She nods gratefully at Luke's offer* If ye wouldna mind . . .

*ENTER CROSS + CORA FROM THE MAIN ROOM*
*Cross carries Cora down the hallway and glances at the doors.. spotting an pen doorway he makes his way down to it and peeks inside.... after inspecting te modest decorum a moment he moves in.. depositing Cora upon her bed and attempting to remove her boots.... but giving up as the last thing he needed was for her to wake up and put a boot through his head as if it were a ripe pumpkin... instead he aranges her as comfortably as possible... then pulls some covers over her.... he turns to head back to the bar.... but then stops.... sighs... and turns around.... finding a stool he plops himself down at her bedside... then brushes some stray hairs away from her face and rests a palm on her forhead... he really shouln't be here.... Mr. Lucas was better suited to this.... but he was here... and Cora needed... someone.. and so he stays.... and begins to humm a lullibuy his father used to sing when he was very very young.....*

**Enter Luana and Mystina from Guest Rooms, 444**
*When they get to Luana's room, they find the door unlocked and go inside. It's just as Luana left it, complete with scribbles on the board resembling flowers and a waterfall.*
*Luana picks a bright green marker out of the bucket and writes the digits 0 through 9 on the board.*
Okay, we'll start off with these. With these nine symbols, which we call digits, you can make whatever you number you want. Each one has its own value and name. *She points to the zero.* This is zero. It's pretty much just a place holder. If you have zero of something, then it means that there is nothing there. You with me so far?

*Luana holds up her index finger with one hand and points to the 1 on the board with her pen in the other.* Okay, the next on is one, like the one finger I'm holding up. If there is only one of something, then it's alone. One object, one group, et cetra...
*They went on like this for the better part of an hour, Luana becoming mildly frustrated somewhere around the transition between five and six, where the faerie had to start counting on both hands. Surprisingly, she caught on much more quickly when they started puting the digits together.*
Okay, Mystina, if we have the two and the four together like that, with two groups of ten and four more, what do we call that?

*Mystina smiled* Twenty Four.... Because Two groups of Ten is Twenty and they have Four extra, right? *Mystina smiles, thinking she got it right, and loving the fact she's learning something*

Right! *Luana grins* I think you've got it! You got through teens and twenties without too much trouble, so I can probably tell you the rest of the multiples of ten and you can figure it out on your own.
Okay, if you start with the three, *points to it* then ou have three groups of ten, which is thirty. Four groups of ten is forty, five is fifty... *She continues down the list.* ...and nine groups is ninety. The numbers actually go on way beyond that, and we've got all sorts of crazy stuff like decimals and negative numbers, but we won't worry about those for now.
Any questions?

*Mystina smiles and nods* But, one question, what is 10 groups of 10? *She tilted her head* I understand all of that but I'd like to know...

*after a time, cross finds himself blinking awake in an unfamilier room... and feeling uncomfortably sober.... he then glances down and remembers...*...Cora.....right.... heis gaze softens a bit as he recalls the events of some hours ago and he gently strokes her forhead with the palm of the hand already present there... his legs tensed however, knowing she could likely take an arm off if she was as unstable as she seemed and woke to find him there... but all the same he continues with his soothing gesture..*

:::The sedatives in her body would likely have killed a normal person, but with years of chemical resistance training on her side, she overcomes the effects in just hours. She still must fight the effects though...she'll be groggy and weak for a while... Well, relatively weak. She begins to stir:::
