:::Compaired to the way Cora's own life turned out, what could Melliandra possibly know about questioning things:::
That... is not a lecture I'm about to take from you.
:::And she finished the distance between the bar and the exit to the guest hall:::
*Exit Cora*

*Mell disregards his sulky expression and greets him cheerfully* Ah, Kal, so lovely to have company! *she motions to the extra wineglass* I was hoping the Brink might provide me with some. Won't you join me?

Of course...

Have you been... gardening? :::He asked inquisitvely:::

:::He picked up the untouched glass, and thought he noticed the seat was warm, but he let it slip from his mind:::
Care to regale me with the story?
:::He sipped, and hoped she wouldn't change the subject to something else that might keep him up all night, contemplating the meaning of his life. He was tired:::

As you will, then . . *she motions for Kal to drink up, and then launches into a story of her exploits, travelling as a ragged old crone. Whether or not she's sticking to the literal truth might be debatable, but either way it makes for an entertaining tale.*

:::Kal nods his head approvingly:::
You'll have to let me know what happens once it does.
::He sips the last of the glass::: You'd get along quite well in my day. People appreciate a good story telling. Not to mention we're always dying for new material.

*Mell grins, lifting the bottle to fill his glass again* It would be an age before I could ever run out, or more, if indeed I were to make it that long.

*Melli's grin widens, and she replies nonchalantly* Oh, I couldn't say precisely. Are we only counting full lifetimes, or should I factor in all the little identities and adventures on the side, as well?

Heh, you must keep busy. And one hell of a memory to keep it al straight.

Do you enjoy living your life that way?
