Cora: *laying on her bed* Aiyeeee! Eden that feels wonderful <3
Eden: *rubs Cora's swollen feet* If there is one thing I regret about doing my pregnancy on my own.. it's not having someone around to rub my feet.
Cora: Eden... thank you. You are so sweet.
Locke: *storms into Cora's bedroom, slamming the door so hard it shakes a few trinkets off her shelves, screaming* THAT DAMN INFERNAL WOMAN!!! Cora, I require you. NOW!
Eden: *cackles evilly* God this whole thing is just too delicious for me...
Locke: *screaming at Eden* LEAVE US AT ONCE!!!
Cora: Waaah! Locke! What is the matter??
Locke: *steps around to the other side of the bed, not screaming anymore* I require your language skills. I am very well aware that you understand Gaeran - I require you to translate a message for me.
Eden: *gasps sarcastically* What is this?! Do I sense.... fear? Confusion? Regret? Perhaps... contriteness?!?!!
Cora: *scolding* Eden... that's enough.
Eden: Fine fine, I get it. *leaves the room*
Locke: *sits down* Translate this message for me
Cora: I don't really understand a whole lot of it... but I will try very hard.
About ten struggling minutes for Cora's shaking Gaerean later....
Cora: Maybe you should just apologize to her. Vaieh is having a very hard time right now, Locke. Deimos refused her before... it's unpleasant business for her. You should try to be nicer about it.
Locke: *getting angry, but not loud this time* She wants of me something I cannot give... I don't have a heart with which to love.
Cora: *sits up* You lie. I saw your heart once.
Locke: You saw nothing of the sort, woman. She wants him anyway.. let her go to him. I am finished with this - what a joke.
Cora: I think you misunderstand... she wants you... but all you do is push her away. Really Locke... I wouldn't kill you to be nice and talk like you do to me to her once in a while....
Locke: *barks* WHAT in the name of god are you speaking about?! I talk to you the same I do everyone else!! *stops yelling again* Send her a message for me. You know what I wish to say. I keep my word... and my word was that I would not speak to her until this act is finished.
Cora: One condition....
Cora: *pokes Locke's nose* Next time you talk to her you be nice!!
Locke: Get your infernal finger off my nose. It is agreed then.
Cora: I wish you would just learn to speak with your heart instead of your ego.
Locke: *gets angry again* For the love of god!! You speak of something I no longer posess!!! *leaves*
Cora: Vaieh... I hope you are not angry that I translated your message for Locke... I know you may not believe it.. but he also is very distressed by this situation. Though as callous about it as he may been.. he does not want you to go to Deimos. This is what I think.. though Locke does not say it... he is not only jealous but he is also worried. I think he is worried that you have been false with him in regards to your desires... I have told him "How can this be so? That she would cross her sovereign to make contact with you?" but his mind is such that for some reason he can't take this into consideration....
Cora: If you do truly want Locke... as I think you do... I am not mad at you at all for it. Locke too needs the love of others... as harshly as Locke treats me... if your heart does belong to Deimos.. I will have to be angry with you for treating Locke so falsely. I have loyalty to you, Vaieh.. but I also have loyalty to others. And.... and I will not abide this nonesense between my friends. This was a bad time for all of this... between your soulcall... and being my being pregnant. I can't bear all of this... Locke has promised to behave the next time you talk. I don't want any more falsehoods between the two of you.. so if you are leading him on I want you to tell him so and end this for him.
Cora: I know that this has been hard for you Vaieh... if I could take your place I would... it.. *sadly*... the act means nothing to me anymore, though I know it means all the world to you. You have to understand that the only reason we are asking you to do it is to preserve your life... I worry for you... and so even does Locke, though he will never admit to such a thing.
Cora: Locke has been brooding and sulking for weeks, he is far to stubborn to contact you first... but he is honest and true to his word, which is why I am answering you for him... He is only keeping his word not to talk to you before your soulcall is finished. He is honest... to everyone but himself.
Cora: Locke has asked me to tell you that he has no heart left with which to love... but Cora believes otherwise. This is something you will have to talk to him about. I just want everyone to be happy... what will make you happy, Vaieh? If people would just tell me... then maybe I could help better.
Cora: I pray that you will contact us soon... I don't know how much longer my soul can take the burden of this battle between the two of you. I am happy that you will preserve your life... though I weep for you.. if this is not what you want. But if Deimos is the one you want.. I ask that you release Locke from this burden. I see him torturing himself everyday. I cannot bear it any longer... please write us back soon.
