*Luke looks up to her gratefully. She meant it too.*
*He's quick to reassure her though.* Nah, I'm cool. It's ....
*It wasn't cool. But if there was ever anyone who could commisserate with him it was Maggie.*
The Seraphim showed up at my college. *quick to say* And I'm okay. Nobody got hurt.

*Maggie breathes in sharply* He came te yer world? *she reaches out instinctively to rest her hand on his arm* Thank Heaven ye and yers are alright, thank Heaven . ..
*It frightens her, to know that the Seraphim is showing up in people's homes again, but she tries to set her own fear aside for now* Oh, Luke, how terrible for ye te see him come te yer home ...

He didn't try anything. But that's not the point. *He sees Maggie's upset. But that doesn't kill his frustration. If anything, it fuels it.* I just thought you should know.

*Maggie shakes her head* Ye've nothing te apologize te me for, Luke. We're in this tegether, all of us. *she frowns and bites her bottom lip, thoughtful for a moment*
He's . . . he's reminding us, isn't he? That he's out there . .. *she speaks softly, but there's as much anger in her voice as fear. Perhaps even more* He truly is a monster.

*Luke feels his heartrate go up. He emphatically agrees.* He is.
I told Tavin. And he didn't exactly ease my mind about it, either.

*Maggie considers that for a moment* Tavin . . . has a tremendous amount weighing on him. He has suffered more at the Seraphim's hands than all the rest of us tegether, him and his family. *her frown deepens at that thought*
I know he doesna yet have the answers we need, but I know he is trying. And . . . he was there, somehow, in my time, when I needed him te be. I canna believe 'twas only coincidence . . . *she trails off, and turns her attention back to the present to keep herself from looking too closely at that particular memory*
Was he able te tell ye anything helpful at all?

*Luke frowns at all Maggie says, but nods.* Yeah, he did. And I've told a couple people this. You know how you can bring things into the Brink? And Cora suspends all sorts of s**t up in mid-air?

*Maggie nods slowly* Aye . . . *it quickly occurs to her where he might be going with this, and the thought seems a hopeful one to her* Did Tavin teach ye a power of yer own then?

Well, he told me about it anyway. According to him, I can move things around - without actually moving them. *murmurs* Supposedly.

Move things. . . *Maggie echoes. In spite if the fact that she herself can summon things out of thin air, she still seems somewhat amazed by the idea* Have ye tried it yet?

They're very difficult at first, are they not? *she commiserates* I had a dreadful time getting the hang of it - Tavin had te guide me through it twice before I could manage bringing anything in at all. But truly, it does get much easier, *she tells him, trying to be encouraging*

*Maggie's slightly puzzled by the reference, but she gets the idea* Well, I canna blame ye for wanting that. *she says, rather somberly* 'Tis very hard te be patient with so much at stake ... *but her voice fades, along with the rest of her*
**Exit Maggie**
