"It's alright. I don't know why she did that." Luana glanced back down the hall. "Are you okay now that we're away from her?"

Yeah...
:::He looked up at nothing, but then focused back down on Luana, smirking timidly:::
Yeah, I'm alright, now.

"I'm glad to hear that," she said with a smile.

:::He stood facing her:::
How are you? I didn't really get to ask back in there... about...
:::He meant about her friend, but didn't want to say anything out loud in case it was a sore subject:::

"I've been better, I've been worse," she said. "A lot has happened since I was here last. Andrew goes in and out, but it looks like he's going to pull through. Right now, I'm on my way to a secure location while my father oversees the security upgrades at home. I was asleep in the back of a car when I faded in."
"What about you? Have you figured out what to do about your situation?"

:::He nodded along, and then furrowed his brow in thought:::
Yes... I've... decided that I'm going to have to tell everyone. But-
:::he punctuated::: We're not going to release any information about our experiences here just yet...
:::He suddenly seemed less sure of himself::: But that's easier said than done... if they know we come here, they'll want to know what we've seen here...

"Another problem, but at least you solved the first," said Luana. "Is there anything specific you don't want them to know?"

Well there are a bunch of things...
First off, Cora shouldn't be here... and then this whole Seraphim thing is totally unheard of... if they knew that there was war... here... I don't know what they would do. That and meeting Luca here before she's...well, Luca... :::He huffs:::
I'm just hoping that somehow Kara and I have appeared in a time where the Brink has yet to set into motion the events that lead to the revolution... and if that really is the case, I don't want either me OR Kara to ******** anything up. :::He sounded bitter::: And right now that's exactly what she's doing.

"Well, I hate the idea of lying by omittion, but couldn't you find a way to leave those parts out?" she asked, chewing on her tongue immediately afterward. "And I never did get the whole time manipulation thing, but isn't it possible that you're supposed to be here?"

Well, by that line of thought, there's a chance that we're supposed to mess it all up... and I would like to think I have a little more control over the fate of my people... as their leader, at the very least... but especially if their entire existance is in my hands.
:::His shoulders slumped:::
Sorry... that was over-dramatic. This frame of mind is killing me.

"Then maybe we should try to think about something else?" Luana led him to a table and let go of his hand at last.

:::When she let go, he realized that he had been holding it the whole time. Her back to him, he rolled his eyes at himself for not realizing it and probably making a fool of himself for it. But he followed along closely:::
I'd like that... :::unsure::: what do you want to talk about..?

"I honestly don't know," she admitted with a small laugh as she took a seat. "I've been so tired the past few days that I can hardly think."

Well...
:::He leaned against the table's edge beside her seat, and intended to encourage her:::
for being so tired, you look good- :::he checked himself::: like you're doing good.

Luana smiled up at him. How do I respond to this without sounding bad? she asked herself. Okay, Lu, say something!
"I thank you for saying so," she finally said. "But I've certainly felt better. I've been in that car too long."
