:::She looked up at the Captain consolingly:::
He's coming around... I promise. It might not be easy, but he's got me to help him.

And I'm glad for that, Cora. I really am. He really needs someone who'll care for him. Especially since he was seperated from his mother.

:::she nods:::
I'm not sure who's raised him, but Alex has been doing alright it seems. He's healthy, and he appears comfortable and effective at his work. I think he's happy where he is.

Well, all I can ask for is that he be happy. Its all any parent can ask for. Perhaps even one day.. he may forgive me.

:::Cora manages a smile::: I'm sure he will...
:::when Tavin fades, Cora gives herself a second to take a breathe. Then she downs the rest of her wine in a gulp, picks up the bottle, and walks back to her room with it:::
*Exit Cora*

:::Cora enters from the Guest hall as per usual. She walks towards the bar with the bottle from last night, now empty. Her hair has been released from its braid. She looks around. No one is there, so she procedes to get herself a glass of juice, for a change:::

:::Kal fades into the Brink, in a position that suggests he was leaning over something. Almost falling over, he catches himself. Looking around he realizes where he is. Now, he stares at the door leading to the Library. He sighs, having his daily sunset interupted. Now what...?:::

:::Cora hears a scuffle from the other side of the bar. She straightens suddenly and peers over the bar. Her eyes widen as she can't bring herself to hope that it is who she's really seeing...:::
K....Kal?!
:::she guides her self on autopilot around the bar, but doesn't get to close, and doesn't look away:::

::: Hearing a familiar voice Kal begins to turn around. As his eyes come in contact with who is in the room he stops in his tracks.::: C..Cora.. is that you?!..

:::It WAS him... after all that waiting, and worrying, he was finally standing there in front of her. She didn't hesitate any longer. Cora's legs carried her as fast as she could go in his direction. She flung out her arms and grasped him with a force that quite likely to knock him over:::
Kal!!!
:::it was a sad sort of reliefe. She was more ready to cry than laugh:::

::: Almost falling over, yet again, Kal regains his balance to hold Cora without droping her. She seemed different, but he knew it was her. Nothing about her was forgetable::: Cora!.. I thought you were dead!

No, no...! I'm fine... Kal! I thought YOU might be dead! Oh goodness...it's been so long.

:::She knew she couldn't hide the tears anymore as he steaded her face in front of his, cupping her cheaks:::
Kal... I'm alright...but, something strange has happened to me... I... don't ever go back. I stay here now, always...
