:::Her eyes widened for a moment as it came into recognition. Her arms fell slightly so that they were poised on his hips, almost as though she could use this position to distance herself if need be:::
Oh...that step. :::She said quietly::: I don't think... I mean. :::Slowly she was beginning to shake off the misty daze she'd been overcome with moments ago, but a certain serene effect still lingered, and she didn't seem too hasty:::
I mean...I haven't... I've never, I mean. I don't think...I...
:::It was as though her head just tossed out all the useful words it once knew so many of:::

*Alex put a finger to her lips*
Hush, hush...... I can see that you're a little surprised. You should be. You have all these rushing emotions running through you right now. You should know that I could never hurt you, and I don't have the desire to do so. I just feel that the love I have for you goes deeper than this. However, if you're still unready... If you still aren't willing to move to that quite yet, I understand. We can keep things at this level or move on. Its all up to you. Just take a deep breath and let me know what you want.

:::She had started to feel a little anxious, but she heeded Alex's words, which were comforting to say the least...that this didn't have to stop, that she didn't have to worry about all the things she was beginning to feel anxious over:::
:::She took a deep breathe, and answered honestly now:::
I want to keep doing this... :::She didn't want to have to think again:::

*Alex smiled warmly and held her tight. They stayed that way for a very, very long time until Alex began to fade. He gave Cora one last long kiss before he was gone*

:::Cora released him when she had no other choice. She was still warm, and he and what had just happened where so etched onto her immediate memory, that she stood still as though she could pretend it were still happeneing. Eventually she began to catch her breathe, and the oxygen was rushing back into her brain:::
:::She looked around, as though she didn't really remember where she was. Her thoughts raced back to her too. Thinking to herself, she grimaced. Hadn't she meant to talk to Alex to tell him that that was exactly what they COULDN'T do??:::
:::She put her palm to her head, debating with herself:::
But like he said...and it's obvious, that you CAN be physical with more than one person...or what if... :::the color began to leave her entirely flushed cheeks::: What if there is no other person anymore...?
:::But the thought, having come out of such a dreamy state was far too much to handle. It left her head as soon as it had jumped in. She decided that she wanted to keep not thinking. Something a Cora from long ago would have shuddered to imagine. But here it was... and she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. After all that she'd been through, perhaps she felt this was justice. She finished catching her breath, and walked back to her room, lightly and slowly as a ghost...
a very springy ghost:::
*Exit Cora*

Torment faded in during the process of getting dressed, having all of his clothing on except the collar he wore around his neck, his shoes, and one glove. His hands were occupied slipping the one glove he did have with him onto his right hand. He was looking down at it, but speaking to someone behind him, "...and after we actually get around to eating we can talk to...Nik..." He glanced around as he finished putting on the glove, "Well ******** sure as hell not running around as no Michael Jackson while I'm here." He slipped the glove off to place it in a pouch on his pants. His gaze wandered to the barstools, and the idea of burning them all came to mind.

Torment started poking all the barstools, one at a time, with a small pocket knife, not that it could actually do any damage, at all. No matter how much he stabbed, it really didn't do jack s**t. Doesn't mean he was stopping anytime soon though.

:::Kal appeared sitting loungfully in a chair and talking humorously, as though he were surrounded by lots of people, and telling an amusing story. He held a glass in his one hand, full of what seemed to be wine... but his smile ebbed just a bit as he realized where he was now:::
Oh...
:::He was dressed in what appeared to be something a bit fancier than he normally wore, including what seemed to be some very shiny 'bling':::

Torment didn't pay much attention to Kal save for giving him a brief hello before going back to stabbing the barstools.

Oh...uh, Hello! :::he said politely...though naturally curious about why this man was jabbing the stools with a pointy thing...a knife, that's what it was. Normally, he would have recongized Torment from the readings, except that Torment was described having tall spikey red hair and black wing protrusions from his temples...this man too had wings but they weren't black, and his hair was not spikey or red:::
Have we met before?

Torment stopped in his stabbing and looked over to Kal, "I can't say that we have. Of course, Like father, like son, I can never remember s**t very well. Though with the rather pleasant distraction back home, not much outside it survives long upstairs." He walks over to offer a handshake, "Name's Torment. Torment Nusradai."

OOooh!! :::Kal's eyes light up in recognition as he shakes the man's hand fervorently:::
Hey, what happened to you...Kara didn't say you'd...have you gotten old? I mean, your hair...and your temple wings...? :::He looked more closely, still shaking his hand, thinking about it:::
Nnnnoo...you still look young.
:::But his mind switched to a different patter...Kara:::
Holy Luca! ...Kara! Are you ok? She didn't do anything to you did she? She's LIVID!
:::He was still wide eyed, and was still shaking Torment's hand, kind of like a fan boy meating a celebrity he knew everything about:::

Tor pulled his hand away, almost forcefully, "I'm older than you'll ever be kid, but I'm only about a year or two older than I was when I first started coming to the Brink. I just got tired of the red spiked hair. The wings, well...thats a magical bit. Hard to explain if you don't know the whole story, and that covers about 300 years, twice."
He rubbed his hand slightly, mostly unconsciously, "As for Kara, she did seem rather irked that I told her someone would have to be out of their mind to sleep with her, she said something about making my life hell or something. Pfft, been there, done that. How the hell do you guys think I got the black wings?"

:::Kal blinked:::
they're white now. :::but he moved on::: Seriously, I know you're Torment, but you can't go around having my sister's body...and then insulting her.
:::This might seem odd, because Kal didn't sound at all upset that Torment had had sex with his sister...he sounded more concerned for Tor actually:::
You may be a demi-god too...more powerful than us...but she can mess things up, and right now, that's what she's out to do. And especially in here, Torment. You're on an equal playing field in here. :::He looks Tor once over:::
And provoked, enough I'm sure she could do you some serious bodily damage...
:::He held his chin in his hands trying to think::: I don't know what in the world you could do to make her stop now...it's a little late for appologies. She might try to take out you and your father all at the same time if she thought it'd be easier that way:::

Torment almost got right up, or down, in his face, "Look here! I didn't intend to screw your sister! I wasn't in my right mind at the time and she, for the most part, seduced me! I was dazed and confused and she took advantage of that! I'm married for god's sake! I love my wife, I'm not a b*****d who'd cheat on his wife. I'm a b*****d that'd kill people for no reason, or very little reason."
