*he glances at her trousers and fingers.... a couple of them by th'look of ye.... what sort of project, xactly? ye don't look the sort that normally does hard labor... though the ink on yer fingers does suit the look of ye.. course a nice dress and a handsome young fellow on your arm would suit le look of ye too *he offers her a grin*.... and whats that spirit ye have there?

She smiled again at his comment, then noticed the ink and washed her hands in the sink. "The project is a water clock for the Brink," she said over her shoulder. "I'm going to design it and build it using materials I can find here."
After she dried her hands on a nearby towel she held up the blue bottle. "And this is a soda called Pepsi. I guess you've probably never heard of it. It's a popular drink in my time. Sodas don't usually have alcohol in them, but plenty of sugar and caffeine, in most cases."

Caff. *he shook his head*... well if it doesn't have alchohol iin it theres scant and little point t'drinkin it for pleasure.. leastways how I see it, now whats this about a clock? thats interesting.... I alwways felt it quite ironic that here lies a place where all times intersect.... and ye can't tell what bloddy time it is. Pardon my english * he takes a drink from his rum only ti find the bottle empty*...bugger.

"Don't be so quick to dismiss it. This stuff can keep my running for days." She grabbed another bottle of rum for him and came back to the table with it.
"The clock was something I just decided to do a little while ago. Since gravity works here, I decided to build a clock that will tell us how much time has passed in the Brink. Since there's no sun or anything, gravity is all we have. Of course, I have some research to do first. I was on my way to the library when I saw you."
There was a hissing sound as she twisted the cap, and foam threatened to flow out of the bottle. Quickly she twisted it shut again to prevent a mess.

"Go right ahead," she answered, though she was not sure what he intended to do with her drink.

*he starts to unscrew the cap... as it fizzes up he quickly closes it then opens it just slightly...... there is a low slow hiss that gradually dies down... he then finishes uncapping it and takes a long pull from the bottle. he then sets it down blinking&... well... er... thats quite..... diferent...

Luana leaned in a little closer and watched his reaction. "Do you mean that in a good way or a bad way?"

Luana grinned and tried not to laugh. "Now imagine what about a half dozen of bottles of that stuff can do to you."
She went back to the bar to get another Pepsi for herself. "If you need to do something, maybe you could help me go through the library and find a few books that look like they have any information about water clocks. I'd like to get as much done as I can before I leave again."

er.. *thinks about his discovery in the library*right... just don't look up any books about pirates..... terrible selection... utterly inaccurate... but then.. you just want books about water clocks... so it should be alright *he says, smileing.... a small look of uneasiness in his eye*

"I'll try to remember that."
Luana picked up her new soda and started walking. She stopped at the hallway that led to the library, and turned to see if Cross was going to follow her.

Luana turned into the hallway and continued on.
**Exit Luana and Cross to Library 48**
