:::She looks at him, a bit confused:::
Are you not from the planet earth...!? :::it was the first verbalized form of surprise she'd expressed since she returned:::
It's yellow, naturally.

"Yellow... that helps. Thank you. I am from "Earth" as you call it. Though not all dimensions have the same characteristics, my own planet is nearly five times larger than what is considered the "norm" in addition to have a white dwarf for a sun. Other things are different too, but that's not the point. Knowing your world has a yellow sun narrows things down at least a bit."

:::She cocks her head to one side. The familar feeling of not understanding a thing people say in the brink krept up on her and sent a shiver down her spine. She shook the feeling and got back down to business:::
Malazar, I'm not going to be here very much longer. I blieve that I'm here because I'm being given the chance to say goodbye. I want to thank you...

Serenis :::She cocks her head to one side. The familar feeling of not understanding a thing people say in the brink krept up on her and sent a shiver down her spine. She shook the feeling and got back down to business::: Malazar, I'm not going to be here very much longer. I blieve that I'm here because I'm being given the chance to say goodbye. I want to thank you... "Don't thank me yet Cora, thank me when I arrive on your world and rain death upon the people that did this to you." He says this casually as he begins to pick up pieces of glass.

:::She made a face. What kind of face, it was hard to say. But she certainly had mixed feelings:::
:::Why should she care. She wasn't going to be alive for very much longer anyway...what did she care if the Institution Leaders were destroyed? Yet...from the sound of it, it didn't seem like he was planning on such specific targets. And...if he did this, he'd be no better than the other Mercies; killing those with thoughts unlike your own:::
Malazar... don't. There doesn't need to be anymore death by my hands or in my name.

Malzar scowls back at her, noticing the look.
"I would ask questions first you know..."
He deposits the glass into a waste recepticle behind the bar and turns to face her.
"Are you sure? Half a minute in your world would be enough to wipe them off the face of your planet with minimal trouble. I know what you've gone through, its an atrocity, a crime against any sentinent being. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies."

:::She shakes her head, more sure of herself this time:::
Let it be... there's been enough interferance, I think. :::She should know, look what it did to her:::

Malazar hugs Cora again, it seemed the right thing to do.
"Being human is no-one's fault, it is simply who and what we are. If you take anything from this place, remember that it cannot be taken from you forever. Your beating what happened should prove that beyond doubt. Remember, we will always be with you, and no one really knows what the Morrow Days will bring."
He whispers into her ear before backing away agin.
"This is goodbye isn't it?"
He sounds sad.

Malazar blinks rapidly and smiles. He turns away from Cora and reaches behind his head. With a tug he releases his long black hair from its tail by removing the thick silve wire.
"When you arrived, Tavin gave you a locket to remember. Tacitus has shared his world with you while you were here. As much as I wish it were not so, I can only offer you a gift to remember in parting."
He raises a hand to his face, holds it there for a moment, then drops it to meet the other. He attached something to the wire and stares at it for a moment.
"Please, take this with you when you go. With it, you won't forget again."
Hanging from the wire, actually a chain connected by a seemingly non-present clasp, is a small red and silver ball with a black circle surounded by a blue one on one end. He hands this trinket to Cora with his head bowed, his long black hair covering his face.

:::She didn't think she should be accepting gifts...they would only go to waste when they got rid of her body...but she was curious:::
:::She reaches for it::: What is it?

"My eye."
He pulls his hair out of his face, revealing an empty eye socket rimmed with cybernetics.
"Its a cybernetic recording device, twist the hemisphere's clockwise to engage the mechanics and begin recording. Twist them counter-clockwise to view any recordings on it. If its not active, it will simply register as a ball of steel and iron on a thread of silver. But pressure on two adjacent sections of the chain to open and seal it."

Oh...
:::She holds it up on the chain, thinking to herself about how primitive the technology must be. She doesn't let herself think on it too much:::
((And if anyone is wondering why she's not grossed out...cybernetic replacement is nothing new in her world...she's had personal experience))
:::She holds it back out to him:::
It is most thoughtful of you, Malazar. But...I cannot accept it. It would only go to waste, and I'm sure you will miss it more than I could ever utilize it. But I am very thankful.

Folds his hands behind his back, physically as well as verbally refusing to take it back.
"Its yours now, I can get a replacement. If it goes to waste then it goes in your possession. If you use it once and never again I will be content. Please, for my sake if nothing else, take it to remember me by."
He half-smiles.
