She kept quiet about deities, though she silently agreed with Kal; it was a load of manure.
"And if they knew about you visiting the Brink, then you would have to tell them about whatever it is that's wrong with this place."
The gears turned in her head. Luana had solved thousands of problems of various forms in her life, but this was by far the most difficult she had encountered, with multiple variables and the fate of an entire civilization at stake. In a way it was like handling rocket fuel: a single mistake could result in dire consequences. If she did ever find a solution, it wouldn't be easy. She let the gears grind to a halt.
"I wish I could help you, K, but I don't know what to tell you. I'm not even sure it's really my place to try. I mean, they're your people, and you would know better than I would."
As she spoke, she stood, walked over to where Kal had gotten the towel from, and hung it up. Using the bright green scrunchie around her wrist, she tied her hair up in a messy ponytail.

:::He watched her get up:::
Well, if I told the elders...I could just lie about what I see in the brink, and tell them what they need to hear. But that means coming up with a whole bunch of lies I need to keep straight. Kara's the one who's good at that...and go figure. Now she suddenly wants to tell them the truth...
:::Kal rubs his forhead again, as though trying to kneed the thoughts out. After a moment, he got up and walked closer to Luana as she put up her hair:::
I appriciate your concern though. It means a lot. :::He stood in front of her, and a little bit of an embarassed smirk crossed his face::: You're actually the first person I've told any of this to.

He was standing less than arm's length away. They had been that close before, sitting together for shared body heat on the shore of the island. But in one of the parts of Luana's mind that she usually paid no attention to, she sensed that there was more to it this time. Another one wanted to make a run for the door.
She smiled and dropped her gaze for a second. "Well, uh, I'm here to talk, if you need me," was all that she could think to say at first. "That's what friends are for, right?"

:::Kal suddenly felt a little more red in the face than before, but he couldn't figure himself out. He didn't really feel...embarassed. Instead, he found himself reaching out and putting his arms around Luana, and bringing her in:::
Thank you, Luana. You've helped me plenty.
:::Kal chuckled to himself as he beemed, not showing any signs of releasing her from a big thankful bear hug::: I feel like... everytime I see you, things are going well. Like you're good luck.
::mostly, Kal meant that he just happened to feel happy whenever she appeared::

Luana returned the hug, momentarily at a loss for words. Unfamiliar feelings began to stir within her, but in K's arms she was not frightened by them. A memory began to form, one which she would puzzle over every night until she could understand all parts of it.
She had never been so close to someone before in her life, and now she could feel his skin on hers...
In her brain an alarm went off. Too close! Too close! it cried. As calmly as she could she broke away and took as step back, just far enough that a breeze could move between them again.
"I'm glad I could be of help." She smiled, but it felt like a stupid thing to say. As they stood apart she faded out.
**Exit Luana**

**Enter Mystina from the main room**
*Mystina wondered in and found her room, stepped in, and walked over to her bed, curling up in it and falling asleep immidiately.*

*After a long sleep, Mystina woke up with a start, her dreams scaring her awake*
W-What the... *She blinked, realizing she was in the Brink still, but she couldn't shake these dreams. Her people getting slaughtered, and her not being able to do anything about it. Well, she'd change that... they must have some form of books here, and, while Faerie doesn't have any that can teach you to use swords, she'd seen one. She'd go search the library, and figure out what to do. She doesn't know if these dreams are a premonition, but, she wanted to be safe just in case. But her stomach rumbled, so she decided to grab some food first.*
**Exit Mystina to the main room, 864**

*Tavin opens his eyes. What had happened? He remembered... No, he couldn't think about that now. Cora was slumped over him, asleep. Tavin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again Cora was in the bed and he was standing over her. Good. He hadn't woken her. He quietly headed to the main room*

**Enter Bard and Maggie from Main Room, 942**
*Bard carries Maggie down the hall to room #22. He shifts her in his arm slightly to open the door and then carries her to the bed. Laying her down, he strokes the side of her face fondly*
I'm so sorry to have drained you. You did an amazing job in there.

I love you too. *Bard kisses her tenderly on the lips, then rearranges the sheets so she'll be warm and comfortable*
*shutting the door to the room softly, he hurries back to the main room*
**Exit Bard to Main Room, 943**

*Luke and Bard carried the stretcher into the room and over to the bed.* Watch it, old man. It's not worth you getting schooled again.

*Dafyd listens to their banter only half hearing it. He looks at the man Lwc called a bard. He doesn't look like any bard he has ever met, but then, these two men are wholly unlike any man he has ever met. He wonders if he inadvertently crossed north of the wall. Having traveled for hours. He could be deep in enemy lands at this very moment*
*Patience, he counsels himself, they are at very least not enemies of King Urien, or they would have killed me moment I spoke his name*

*Bard and Luke carry the stretcher over to the simple bed. With a little more effort they get the stranger off the stretcher and into the bed*
*Bard checks the man's wound, but the stitches look as though they've held*
We can get that shirt of mail and your tunic all the way off if you'd like some help.
