*Luke appears in the Brink sitting at the bar. He's dressed in a sleeveless t-shirt and pajama pants, reading Gilbert Law Summaries: Criminal Procedure.*
*Luke looks up and around and goes back to reading.*

:::Cora enters from the guest hall, planning only to get herself some food other than the sustanence blocks in her room. She was pleasently surprised by the company there:::
Hello Luke, how are you?

:::Cora's pleasant expression had a way of falling off when he said this. It turned indescernable before changing into slightly irritated. She thought of what to say while licking her bottom lip as she bit it. But before she made to say anything, she just clucked her toung and walked over to the bar:::

Hm? :::She wondered how her reaction might have been construed as 'optomistic' in any way, but quickly decided that Luke was doing that thing where you mean the opposite of what you say:::
Oh yes, very good.

*Now probably isn't the best time to say 'i told you so'.*
*blinks. Whoa. Hold the phone. Was that sarcasm coming from Cora?*
Since when are you sarcastic?

Heh... :::she managed a smirk, as she poured herself a drink, and picked out a beer for Luke:::
Since I picked it up from you... that is what you used just a moment ago? Sarcast...icism?

Sarcasm.
*Luke takes the beer and pops the cap. He takes a swig. He stops and thinks. Had he been sarcastic? He hadn't even noticed.* Yeah, I guess you did pick it up from me.
So ...what's goin on? What happened?

I came across a rebel from some time relatively close to mine. She recognized me as an Omegaforce Officer and attempted to kill me... and
:::she hesitated in her own discomfort with the idea::: and Alex.

Yes, we're... relatively unharmed. As is the woman...
:::she sipped the wine, a very dark one she picked this time. She liked the reds, if only to look deeply into the color and see only a faint distortion of the world on the other side of the glass:::
It... raises more issues than I thought possible... I didn't think things could get so complicated in so little time.
:::she looked up from the glass and straight at Luke, perhaps for some sign of understanding:::

*Luke huffs a cynical laugh.*
*He looks back at Cora though.* You and me both, babe.
So let me get this straight. This chick from your time came in here and threatened to kill you and Alex. *checks* And it wasn't Melliandra?

No actually... surprisingly :::she admits before thinking about how to continue:::
You've met Kal, right? Has he told you anything about the time he's from?

*Luke hadn't thought about Khal in awhile. He shifts gears.*
Well. I know that - according to him - there's stories about all of us where he's from. Pretty damn weird, but cool. He and Kara knew all about us when they came in here. I mean, some of it's exaggerated, but...
