:::But she couldn't stand it. Who was this man...? She'd seen him a few times before, but looking into his eyes, she was sure he was nearly a stranger. Why was he doing this? Why was he saying these things. It wasn't fair, it wasn't right to do this to her:::
:::When he finally faded away, Cora was relieved. She didn't want to see anyone anymore. She wanted to be alone, for the first time since she came to the brink, she wanted to be with no one else. She didn't even want to be herself.
Tears dripping in her wake, she ran back to the rooms, not knowing what else to do. She locked herself in her room, and would be fine staying there for a very long time:::

(( ninja That settles that little discussion xd *was talking on AIM* razz ))
Janani blinks as Cora rushes by her not even paying her any mind. Shrugging, she goes to stand up but fades out instead.

:::Kara fades into the main room, seated at one of the tables, it appears as though she was in the middle of eating something when she appeared. But when the thing she was about take a bite of disappeared from her hand, she opened her eyes, and closed her mouth:::
Hm..! C'mon now, during breakfast?
:::She looks around. No one.:::
:::Kara crosses her arms, about 80 seconds had passed and already she was dead bored. She gets up to go to the bar and pours, not wine, but juice...she had only just woken up after all:::

**Enter Maggie from Library, 39**
*Maggie walks in from the library's hallway, and starts to enter the main room, when she spots Kara at the bar. She freezes, and turns, hoping she can sneak back to the library without being noticed*

*Maggie halts again. Too late. Reluctantly, she turns back and steps out of the hallway again. She tries to keep her expression polite but she's obviously uncomfortable, and careful to keep her distance* Good day te ye, Kara . . .

*Maggie frowns* 'Tis none of your concern, Kara. *she tells her quietly, but firmly. Clearing her throat, she tries to steer the conversation into safer territory* .. How is your brother?

:::She smiles calmly:::
I'm glad you ask. He's very upset you see... all our lives we learn about stories concerning the Brink of Time. His heroes are dwindling before his eyes. My brother's pain is my own, Maggie, and if you and Bard are making him upset, I'm afraid that's my business.

*Maggie bristles slightly. She opens her mouth to say something, then closes it, catching herself, and takes a breath* Kara . . . I am sorry to hear that Kal is upset. *and she's clearly sincere about that much* ... We are alright, and if 'twil help him te know that, please tell him so.
*she hesitates, then adds* I know the stories ye've heard mean a great deal te ye both . . . but ye must understand that we are still only people . . .

Torment blinks in about an inch off the ground, arms crossed as he seems to be giving someone a rather smug attitude, that is, untill he dropped the inch or so and realized nobody was around. His attitude faded and he seemed to brighten at the thought of a break from his world for a while. Between Nik and other problems, he was getting worn out. Even a short break would be of much use. Noting nobody around he set out on an epic quest to behind the bar to find the elusive Diet Sunkist soda in the refrigerator of doom!

:::Cora couldn't help it. She'd been cooped up in her room for what felt like days, but there was no food there, and she was hungry. She'd never skipped meals before. Naturally because it's not good for one's health. She decided that she would be quick... if she got lucky, she'd see someone she wanted to and not... well, not anyone else:::
:::She approached the opening of the hall with caution, and did indeed see something she was fearful off...grey hair. But upon inspection she noticed that it was not Tacitus, or even Jordan. It was Torment:::
::Cora stepped out slowly, maybe he had some answer, but she was almost afraid to ask:::

Tor had found himself a Diet Sunkist and was poking at it with a knife, albeit not a very good one. He had figured he needed an easily concealable weapon that could still work if magic did not. He gave up and folded it, shoving it into his pocket, "Damned b*****d knife...won't even puncture a soda can." He was about to open it when he saw Cora, giving her a slight wave, "Yo Cora! Haven't seen you in a while. You wouldn't happen to have anything to sharpen knives about your person wouldjya? I can understand if you don't, really wouldn't see why you'd need one."
