:::She covered her mouth as what he became appeared in full view before her, she let out a whisper, her eyes wide:::
Johnathan...

He lowered back to a hunched over form, taking up his robe and, for the most part, tossing it into the air and trying to fit. Practice had made perfect by this point, though the billowing cloud of dust left behind could not be helped. He pulled the extremely oversized hood back to reveal his head while the rest of him lay in shadows. The intelligent glint in his eye was marred by a look of shame on his face, "Don't blindly follow otherrss, Corrrra. It'll rrruin you. Desstrrrrroy you." He wasn't one to know the irony that lay in what he said, and Cora wouldn't know the whole of it not having lived it this time around, only been told the outcome.

I'm so sorry... Johnathan...

Kane held up a hand to silence her, but it wasn't so harsh as his form would make it seem, "Don't be ssorrrry, jusst be warrry. If you think it betterr of thiss body, I'm known assss Kane to mosst know. They ssay itss frrom ssome old book. One who murrderred hiss brrotherr. It fitss thiss beasstly sskin I wearrrr." He was shamed, and did not want to speak further on the subject. He quickly made his way to the door, but not without stopping at the bar first to drain a few more huge handfuls of Gamma Gulp bottles. He fiddled with the keys, trying to get his. He looked back to Cora, "I wass going to make shameful exit, but I can't hold my key."

:::She watched him all the while, afraid to breathe again. It was him wasn't it? She could not see any semblence of the man she once knew as Johnathan... even if it wasn't him though, the creature had done nothing to betray her trust...yet. She moved to him warily, afraid to look at him even as she walked up next to him:::
:::She picked out the key labled Johnathan Hunter, thinking this would be the true test. Cora looked down at the floor when waiting for him to position his fingers in a way that could hold the key, then placed it there firmly. She realized he was going to have trouble aiming it into the keyhole with hands like those. Mustering up a little more courage, she guided his hand, holding his fingers in place, and turned them so that the key would follow the pivot. It tripped the lock open, and as soon as it had, Cora stepped quickly asside:::

Kane couldn't look at her throughout it, but her soft touch on his more than gruff hands told him she wasn't 100% disgusted with him for what he was. Hell, the fact she didn't run or try to kill him was enough to prove that. He growled, for lack of ability otherwise, a quick thank you before he was gone.

:::Cora shuddered when he was finally gone, and repressed a gag... it wasn't that she was disgusted with his form... as grousome as it was... but just the idea of what he must have been through...what it must have felt like, it caused her such disturbance. After that she went to the bar for a bottle of wine, and retired quickly to her room... it had been a busy day, and a strange way to end it at that:::

:Hajime appears in the brink, walking forward casually. As she takes in her new surroundings, she pauses. He hand slides automatically to the hilt of her katana, prepared to draw it the moment there is a hint of a fight:

:Hajime examines the stranger thoughtfully. She's been ambushed before, and she recognizes in him the ki of a warrior. She senses no hostility from him, however, merely surprise. She keeps her hand on her sword:
This... is not Koga hot springs. Where am I?

Welcome to the Brink of Time, I am Tavin. May I ask your name, Miss?

:She hestitates, then relaxes her stance. She bows to Tavin, a little lower than he bowed to her:
This humble person is Karebana Hajime. Please look upon me favorably.

Miss Hajime? Would you care for a drink? Sake perhaps?

:Hajime stiffens a little, unsure what to make of this gesture:
This humble person must politely decline. However she would be grateful if you would tell her about the Brink of Time. She has no knowledge of such a prefecture, nor of a city called "Time".
