:::Cora stops dead in her tracks:::
Attacking you!? :::
She wouldn't put it past Mel, she seemed to enjoy fighting, or so Cora had gathered from experience. But just as she was about to demand explination, a giant woman crashed to the floor. Cora recognized her immidiately::::
Oh, here we go...

Janani gets up and brushes herself off. Looking over her shoulder, she flaps her wings to make sure everything is in check. Her wings look merely vestigial, yet, before she came crashing down, she was flying. Heaving a sigh, she's starting to detest the way the Brink takes away her Bind abilities, making it so she can't fly. Janani frankly doesn't care about not being able to shapeshift. Letting another sigh escape her, she begins looking around. She easily and quickly recognizes Cora and gives her a bright, warm smile and greeting wave.
Hi! I hope you're feeling better, Miss Cora.
Janani's smile widens a bit as she continues her search of the room. She...recognizes Maggie and Bard, but she has absolutely no name for them... That means they never met. Instinctively, she draws her Cat Plushie off her head and holds it tight to her chest. Then she sees Mel at the bar with a drink. She's another stranger. Janani takes a step back, like a scared child. The warm look on her face never leaves, but there is concern about Cora exclaiming something about "attacking"...

*Melli calls out to Cora casually as she starts pouring* I was not seriously attacking them, mind you, but she could hardly know that. Not that I'm thrilled to have this charming mark forming, but I did rather have it coming. Now may I have those potions to study?
*she casts a glance at Janani* You're entirely too tall, you know. Sit down, will you?

*Bard opens his mouth to say something, but fades out*
** Exit Bard **

*Maggie sees the look of uncertainty on Janani's face, and even though she's thrown by her size, she figures the least she can do is be polite* I dinna believe we've met before . . . my name is Margaret Dowling, I .. .
*she trails off, realizing Bard has vanished from beside her* Oh . .. *her face falls slightly, and she looks to where he was a moment ago, murmering quietly* Be well, Bard . ..

:::She looks at Melliandra, shocked:::
You DID attack them!! How DARE you!? :::Cora was angered, which was an uncommon site:::
:::She looks to Bard and Maggie:::
Are you two alright?
:::But Bard had faded. She shot a look back at Mel as though it was her fault for making him fade. She hadn't seen Bard in so long, and now he was gone, and she was stuck with this aggressive stranger to take care off...she was NOT happy::::

Oh, they're quite unharmed. *she sees Bard vanish, but then flashes Maggie a winning smile* Aren't you, Margaret, dear? *she turns back to Cora, still beaming* So you see, all's well! Getting back to those potions of yours . . .

*Maggie looks back and forth between Cora and Mel. She certainly didn't enjoy Mel's earlier behavior, but she doesn't want a fight now that things have settled* Ehm . . . aye, she didna harm us . . .

I'm not tall...
Janani looks down in self-recrimination (I believe that's the word I want...) as she shuffles her feet. She is young for her race, but she probably doesn't look nearly as young as she's acting now. When Margaret Dowling addresses her, Janani tries perking up a bit. She gives Maggie a gentile smile and returns the introduction.
Pleased to meet you, human. I am Janani Waystar Lunaris, Keeper of the Globe of Terrace of the House of Luna.
Janani nods as she quickly eyes Mel. It seems Cora is angry... She believes she's being polite.

:::But Maggie's reassurance helps Cora's temper none:::
:::She walks straight up to Mel, she wasn't yet breathing irregularly, but it was apparent in her eyes that there was fire deep down:::
YOU do NOT come here and attack MY family for ANY reason, or you will have me to answer to. You are only too lucky that they appear undamaged, or else you would find yourself no longer here. Is that understood?
:::She stood deadly still:::

*Maggie turns back to Janani at her introduction and returns the smile* Pleased te know ye, Janani. It seems ye've been here before, have ye . . .?
*but her question is cut off by her disappearance*
**Exit Maggie**
[Darn opening shift]

Oh, do calm down, Cora, you're making quite a scene, you know. *she takes another sip of her drink* Care for some?

Janani blinks, takes a step back, and tilts her head. Apparently...something happened here. She swallows, not all that confident in her skills without Binding.
Pardon, Miss Cora... Um... Ah...
Janani doesn't know what to say. It seems Margaret has disappeared as well as the strange man. The strange woman, however, remains.

:::Cora's eyes are unwavering:::
I don't know how my behavior is percieved in the time when you are from, but I mean every word I've said with the utmost seriousness. You have been warned...
:::She steps back for some breathing room and manipulates her utility belt. She puts down two vials on the bar top next to Mel, and turns to look at Maggie... who is gone.
Cora closes her eyes for a moment. Why did her blood feel like it was flowing through veins half their appropriate size?:::
Miss... :::she's speaking in Janani's direction, but she doesn't say anything more just yet:::

*Melliandra siezes the vials with delight* Wonderful! *she laughs triumphantly, downing the rest of her glass, and hops the counter* Thank you, Cora, I've been desperate to get a better look at these! *ignoring Cora's obvious animosity, she pats her arm like they're long-time friends, and then starts making for the door before she can change her mind*
*she passes Janani on her way, craning her neck to see her* And yes, you are too tall. It's all relative, you know, dear.
*and on that note, she grabs her key, and makes her first test of the door*
**Exit Melliandra**
