Cora: *stares at the wall, thinking to herself and giggling* I wish I could have seen it...
Eden: Seen what? And why have you been moping around in your room so often lately?
Cora: Oh... I sent Ophelia a little present. I trusted X and Purgatory to take care of the rest, and I wish I could have been there to see O's face is all! And really... I like to just sit in my room and think....
Cora: There are some things I want to ask you Eden...
Eden: Sure, okay...
Cora: V talked about loving someone deeply... what does it mean exactly?
Eden: Hmm... well... it means loving someone with your heart.
Eden: *tries to get comfortable* To love someone deeply is to love someone in a romantic way... with your heart, like in those romance books that Luis writes.
Cora: If you love someone with your heart.... does it make your heart hurt??
Cora: *plays with her fingers* Does it make your heart hurt whenever you are around that person? Whenever you think about that person... do you long to be with them always?
Eden: Yeah sure. Sounds like it to me....
Cora: I see...
Eden: You know, on second thought. I do not like where this conversation is going at all. Let's change the subject.
Cora: Why? Why do you always do this to me? It's like you're trying to sabotage me ever finding out anything about myself.
Eden: Maybe that's for the best.
Cora: Why? Why? I don't understand this at all! Why do you want to do this to me?
Eden: For one reason and one reason only.
Eden: *sighs and looks away* I've only ever done anything I ever do for you to protect you, Cora. That's all I've ever wanted... now I will admit I've effed it up in the past by not putting an end to the Locke situation or explaining to you about... those kinds.... of things....
Eden: *holds her hand* I don't want you to get hurt.
Cora: *is silent for a minute*
Eden: And I will do everything in my power to make sure that you don't.
Cora: But Eden...
Eden: No "but"s Cora, I won't sit around and watch you get hurt.
Cora: Eden... if I don't feel pain... how am I to grow?
Eden: Flowers grow fine without pain.. you don't see a damn tulip growing better from being trampled all over.
Cora: I'm not a flower, Eden - I'm a human being. And part of the human experience is to be hurt and experience pain.... and love....
Eden: No... don't even say it. Don't say it, I don't want to hear it come out of your mouth!!
Eden: Just don't even!!
Cora: *firmly* I'm in love with V....
Eden: Let me illustrate for you... a long long long time ago. I too was attracted to Vincent. In fact I even conned him into going out on a date with me... We had dinner. Who wouldn't want to have dinner with him? Have you looked at him? He's fucking hot!!
Eden: Well I will admit I was a little drunk... a little too much wine... I made the moves on him. It was sheer disaster, I got close to him and in my usual manner I grabbed his junk. Let me tell you that guy IS PACKING. Anyways.. I digress... V was absolutely disgusted and preceeded to tell me that he is gay and prefers men. Very disappointing.
Cora: *gasp* Eden!! But... how does what kind of parts you have, boy or girl.. how can that be any kind of qualifier for love? Isn't it unfair to discriminate against someone on the basis of their parts? Doesn't love transcend what sex you were born to? And.... don't you think... you were maybe a little forward??
Eden: *stands up quickly* A little forward??! Are you calling me a whore?
Cora: It was your first date and you.... grabbed at him....
Eden: *angrily* Oh you are one to talk!! Little Miss Screw-Nearly-Everyone-In-The-House!! You've been my brother's own personal whore for months.. I don't think you have any right to preach on this subject!!
Cora: You never stopped me... never told me it was wrong. I had to go to V to finally get things explained to me when you avoided the question for months and months.
Eden: You think he didn't want me because I was a whore?? What makes you think he'll want you when you've been a bigger whore then I ever was?? *leaves, slamming the door*
Cora: *looks down* .....................
