[color=lightcoral][b]Interaction:[/b][/color] [@Tae]-Kenia | [@princess]-Malachi | [@Inertia] - Rei | @[@Dezuel] - Zelginn[img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/610964561553522698/610974769193418753/rgrgr.png?width=960&height=83[/img][/center] [color=D3D3D3]Cora watched the scene unfold with curiosity and uneasiness. The fox's easy entrance and attempts at lying were unnerving her. Despite it, she couldn't help but snort into laughter at Rei's comments. She bit her lip to stop herself from laughing more in order not to further annoy Malachi. She fell silent so she could listen and nodded. She looked at his hand and his shoulder and smiled faintly. His earnest attempts to quell her worry was appreciated. She patted his hand on her shoulder with a faint smile. She couldn't remember the last time someone had reciprocated or cared to physically reassure her. For a moment, her train of thoughts seized: her mind's eye was picturing Gale and the heartbreak refilled her once more. That son of a bitch - if he ended up in Avalia, she would be sure to light a fire under his ass. Who would be the crybaby now? Cora struggled to pull herself out of her reverie and looked back to the chaos in front of her. She was careful not to summon flames or start a fire in connection to her strong emotions. Her eyes had narrowed and her hands began to itch to use her magic. [color=lightcoral][b]"Definitely is suspicious and may not be coincidental."[/b][/color] She grimaced at the intruder's smug expression and gave him a lingering stare. [color=lightcoral][i]If he thought he could just lie his way out of this,[/i][/color] she began thinking with a surge of irritation. Fortunately, Kenia was able to see through it. Cora glanced at Rei sideways as she spoke with raised eyebrows. So, Kenia made a living out of lying and manipulation - what a fantastic tidbit. She made a mental note to revisit that statement after the chaos ended. The scenario couldn't worsen, could it? She half expected the dragolich's head to appear through the window similar to the Koolaid man, ready to devour and murder Rei and her. For a moment, Cora nearly burst out laughing at the thought. To distract herself, she turned to look fiercely at soaked floor. She would be damned if this floor was going to stay dirty. She had not spent her morning cleaning, only for it to be messed up again. Cora glanced back at the mischievous thief and grinned. What if they asked him to clean it for his troubles? She resisted the urge to smile or crack another smile and remained serious. Malachi's words caused her to grimace, though she understood why. The situation was serious and Rei and her were in greater danger. She nodded as he ordered them to take food and leave. She had been vying to eat the breakfast, though cleaning and the intruder had interrupted her it. Without needing to be told twice, Cora grabbed a plate of food and quickly exited the scene. She kept a distance from Rei as the smell of drool was strong. [color=lightcoral][b]"Too bad you're not a hydromancer and could wash it off of yourself quickly. I am sorry for your.. new cologne."[/b][/color] Cora set her food down in the training room, then washed her hands and returned. She was conscientious of being clean and the idea of dirty repulsed her. The dirtiness after the first day had haunted her. Cora waited a few minutes to make sure they weren't followed, then shut the door and turned to Rei. She sat down cross legged on the couch. [color=lightcoral][b]"I do not know if this was a coincidental intrusion or not, but it's giving me an awful feeling. I really don't like this, nor do I trust him. He's a liar and errs on the side of cunning and manipulation."[/b][/color] She took a deep breath as she gathered her thoughts. [color=lightcoral][b]"I don't think it's wise to demonstrate our magic in front of him, either: the less he knows, the better."[/b][/color] Furthermore, Corvina leaned away form the window and pulled the curtain over it. Despite not being in view, she was on edge. How many other people would waltz into Kenia's estate? Who else would find out they were here? She looked at Rei again as she took a quick sip of her water. The tension was stifling: she needed to relax. When she was younger, she would find ice-skating or singing to be helpful. The calmness and comfort she had began to feel was dissipating. [color=lightcoral][b]"Also"[/b][/color] Cora glanced at Rei with a playful smirk. She wanted to help lighten the tension he was probably feeling. [color=lightcoral][b]"Let's get down to business, to defeat the undead army. Did they send me daughters, when I asked, for sons?"[/b][/color] She was quietly beginning to sing now, as not to interrupt the chaos in the kitchen. Cora was vaguely remembering her time in choir, which seemed so long ago. She could hardly fathom the reality of high school verses being in grave danger. [color=lightcoral][b]"You're the saddest bunch I ever met, but you can beat, before we're through. Mister, I'll make a man out of you."[/b][/color] She began to giggle as she finished the verse and began to hum it to try to keep the mood light. [color=lightcoral][b]"Do you think Malachi will like my song?"[/b][/color] Cora began laughing as she imagined his reaction.[/color]
