**Enter Luana from Library, 29**
*Luana starts to enter the main room when she sees Luke there, but stops when a woman whom she has never met, yet seems oddly familiar, runs in. She takes a step back into the hall, for the moment unnoticed.*

*Luke freezes in place at the voice. He turns around, and ....... sees Cora. She's not like she was before. The gray hair's gone. The outfit's gone. She's just like she was. Looks EXACTLY like she was.*
*He blinks. He's seeing things. It can't be her, she said that she--*
*Luke doesn't say a word. He just strides forward towards her, eyes locked onto her.*

:::He hasn't said a word, but it's him, without a shadow of a doubt, and without another moment of hesitation, Cora dashes the rest of the way between them:::
:::She doesn't waste any time, throwing her arms around him, and crying out:::
Luke!! Luke!!! You're here!! You're really here!! I'm back Luke! I'm finally here!! Oh Luke! Luke! I'm back!
::She's laughing and crying at the same time when she finally presses herself against his chest. She'd waited and hoped so long that she could see him just one more time, to tell him just how much she missed him. She finally had him:::
Luke..!

*Luke catches her as she grips onto him, just as she has so many times before.*
*His eyes are wide. He stares down upon Cora in utter disbelief.*
*Luke feels his mouth go dry. The thoughts run together...she's alive she's alive she's alive she's alive she's not hurt she's not hurt she's not dead she's not dead she's alive she's alive*
*Luke still hasn't said anything. When he's finally able to, he holds her back to look at her. He looks her up and down. His mind still can't accept the fact that she's alive and physically sound and inside the Brink in his arms.*
*But he's getting there.*
*Luke's breath shudders a little. He grabs her, pulling her into a tight, tight embrace. He closes his eyes.* Oh my god...
*He thought it so many times. He never told anyone. But he thought... Luke has to hold back not to cry.*

:::She releases a laugh of utter jubilation as he pushes her out to look at her in disbelief, and then pulls her back again, her eyes pouring without any will to hold back the tears anymore:::
Luke!! Oh...Oooh!! :::She couldn't find words to express it, she just held on tighter:::
Luke, I thought of you everday I was away. I missed you! So much! I thought I was going to die! Luke!!! Luke, I didn't want to die without ever seeing you again! Luke! I'm so sorry!! Oh Luke! Please don't let me go! Please!

*Just holding her and hearing her talk about how she missed him and how she's not dead.... Relief hits him.*
*And for one of the first times in his life, Lucas Blaize does as told. He holds onto her. There's a long silence as he just rests, just rests knowing that she's alive and that she's okay and that nothing nothing that he imagined happening to her had happened. It was like a nightmare, a bad dream, just...it was just worrying. He was worried out of his ******** skull, but.. It wasn't real.*
*And with that thought, it starts out as a smile, then a bigger smile, then the biggest ******** GRIN bursts onto Luke's face.*
*He holds her back and looks at her - BEAMING.*
You're alive. *He says it like it's this new brilliant idea that never occurred to him.* <******** YEAH YOU'RE ALIVE!
*Grabbing her around her middle, Luke lifts her off her feet and wildly swings her around and around.*
WHOOOO! SLIIIIIIIIM! YEEEEES! YES! ******** YEAH! <******** YEAH!
*He grins so hard it hurts. He doesn't give a s**t what he looks like right now. He's just so happy. She's alive. Holy s**t, she's ******** alive!*

:::Cora squeels as she's lifted off the ground, she hears real laughter, pure happiness for the first time in over 2 years, and its coming from Luke.
She doesn't even realize it's happening, but there in the air she beggins to laugh too. Not a day ago she thought she might never smile again, and there she was. Being swung around like she was weightless, like she was finally free. She grasped his arms as he lifted her so that she wouldn't have to let go, and she just kept laughing, and kept crying:::
LUKE!!! :::She yells over his shouts and laughter as well:::

*Luke's gone completely ridiculous. He doesn't care. All that matters is that she's alive. Not some robot, not some miserable machine.... ALIVE and herself and just as ******** hysterically slap-happy as he is.*
*The spinning finally stops, and Luke feels a little dizzy. He holds onto her, still holding her up above the ground.*
*He closes his eyes again.*
Aw, Cora. *His chest deflates with a siiiiigh of relief and he sets her down on her feet. He has his hand held against her hair, as if he still needs confirmation that she's not some elaborate figment of his imagination.*
Aw, Cora. *He hugs her again.*
*just above a whisper* Don't ever ever do that to me again. Okay? ... Okay?

:::the laughter still hangs in her throat as he brings her back in::: Luke... :::But as she goes to explain herself she feels remorse again::: Oh Luke, I wanted, I wanted so much to come back. I couldn't, the Brink wasn't bringing me back! I didn't know what to do... I was so afraid Luke! :::She squeezed him::: I thought I'd die and never see you again. I wanted so much to see you again! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Please just don't let go! Please! Oh please Luke! I'm so sorry...Don't let me go again!! :::The appologies began to ramble on, over and over she said she was sorry,until they were whispers and finally thoats:::

*Whoa. Luke sobers and realizes. Whoa, she's freaking out.*
*He just keeps a hold on her - and his cool.* Shhh, shh. It's okay. You're here now, alright? *He starts to think: what if she goes back, what if - what if she fades and doesn't-*
*Luke shuts that part of him the ******** UP.*
It's okay, Slim. *He remembers saying almost the exact same thing to her the last time he saw her in the Brink. When she had those cold, unfeeling eyes and that silver hair...*
*With a practiced resolve, Luke shakes that away, too.*
It's gonna be okay.

*Luana has watched all from the hallway, and now enters the room with a smile. She's not entirely sure of what's going on.*
Hi there. *little wave*

Janani fades in reach high up! She seems to be reaching for something high above her head. Of course...that's pretty high for an eight-foot tall woman. As she had been using an object as a counter-balance which is suddenly gone, she quicly looses her balance. Eyes wide, Janani nearly falls over. She manages to grab onto a nearby chair as she realizes where she is. Letting out a sigh of relief, the crack of a chair is all that can be heard as she, letting out a barely audible squeal, crashes to the ground.

*Luke returns the gesture, just holding her there.*
*He thought he would never see her again.*
*After a long, long while, he eases out, holding her back enough to speak to her.*
Cora, you were older. *Confusion begins to set in.* You had gray hair. You...God, what happened to you?
*Just as the words leave Luke's mouth. He sees Luana, and hears Janani CRASH.*
*He just grins to Luana, and nods a 'hey' to her, still just in an enormously spectacular mood.*
*He focuses back on Cora, waiting for her to answer.*
