For one she learned she had a sister, Elayne. She hoped to see her again sometime. To get to know her a little more. But the other things she learned where not to great... According to Elayne her birth Mother was a real piece if work... heh, that only made Cora want to meet her a say " Hey mom, remember me?" Cora giggled at the thought.
Even though she wished she could do that, it would never happen.. For one she looked like a commoner, two Cora had no idea where her so called Mother lived.. Eh, for now she would just have fun exploring places and catch new Pokemon while she was at it. But do day she just wanted to explore, she heard about the Aerial tower once and wanted to explore it her self. Cora came to the old tower and looked up but could not even see the top. " Wow, this in one tall tower.. I hope it never falls due to age." Cora said to her self and entered. She looked around for a few minutes and saw the old crumbling stairs. " Well, I don't think I will be able to walk up those... Guess I will have to fly to the top.. Charzard could stretch his wings." Cora said with a smile.
Cora then walked out of the tower and took out Charzard's pokeball and hit the switch on it. " Come on out Charzard!" Cora called. With a flash of light her Charzard came out and let out a roar just for fun. He then looked around at his surroundings. He then looked at Cora with a smile. He knew she was wanting to fly on his back. So he lowered him self down so she could clime on. Cora walked over to her dear friend and hoped on his back. " Ready to fly to the very top Charzard?" Cora asked with a smile. Charzard turned his head to look at her. " Indeed, I can't wait to fly." The Charzard said and opened up his huge wings, With in a few flaps he was in the air with Cora on his back holding gently with her arms around his neck. When they flew through the clouds Cora could not help but shiver a little but Charzard's warm body helped out a lot. With in a few minutes they where above the cloud cover and could see the top of the tower.
Charzard flew closer to a large window, and with out even hesitating she jumped off of Charzard;s back and through the window. Whens she did that she did a somersault and came to her feet. Cora then walked back over to the window and held Charzard's pokeball out. " Thanks Charzard! Have a good rest now." And with that a red light came out and returned the dragon pokemon to his ball. Cora smiled put the ball away and started to look around the tower. [/scrolly] |

Rossi was not a coward by any means of the physical stamina type. Far from it, he was fond of seeing what he could do, and seeing as he had bought a rather large Pigeot, he had decided to try out flying. It had been a while since he had had a bird pokemon quite like this one (having only had smaller birds for different more down to earth reasons over the years), and it was truly nice to be out. Off in the distance, he finally caught sight of his destination, Aerial Tower. In truth, he had no idea that there was someone else already there nor did he even fathom that it would be once of his nieces. However, he had come there to watch the bird pokemon that were said to be in that area. He was fond o watching them, and it would help him review his thoughts and finally come to the conclusion he needed to reach.
He had been to the tower several times in his youth, yet over the years, the tower had fallen into ruin, and though he had pushed to fix it, Lance had been forced to turn away from that possibility as he had to deal with the problems of the nation as a whole. Now flying back there was giving him a mix of nostalgia and sadness. However, it was silly to turn back now, so instead, he continued to direct Sky towards it. Though he was a large man, Lance had found if he distributed his weight evenly enough across the bird's back, it wouldn't hold Sky down, and it would also allow him to direct the bird. Upon finally coming to the tower, Sky began to break upwards and climb up the air before finally coming to the very top and stopping at the ledge that led inwards. Carefully shifting off the bird and onto the ledge, Lance returned the Pigeot before stepping inside rather carefully. It was only then that he caught sight of Cora. "Ah, hello," he stated aloud calmly. [/scrolly] |

Cora started to think about the history if this place and thought it would be fun to look it sometime. When Lance entered she had her back to him, and thanks to the tag top she was wearing her birth make could be easily seen. Though when Lance spoke, Cora whirled around in shock. Even though Lance spoke calmly he had still startled her. Cora's heart beat started to slow down once she had gotten over her shock.
Cora did not say anything but blink and looked at Lance. Kinda disappointed that someone else had come here.. She was kinda wanting the tower all to her self.. Oh well she would have share the tower.. Not like she could just tell this man to get lost after he had flown all the way up here. " Umm, Hello. Have you come to see the sights as well? I was just exploring.. Don't mind me." Cora said but she never took her eyes off of Lance. She was kinda wondering why he was here now. [/scrolly] |

However, because of circumstances being what they were, he hadn't seen it. He waited till Cora had finished speaking fully and even after that a bit as he thought on what to say before actually speaking. "Ah, it's fine. I was simply coming up to see the bird pokemon and the view," he explained. After a bit, he turned and stared out the window out into the air beyond. Well, he had been expecting to have the tower solely to himself, yet he didn't mind having company, he realized. "This tower was quite impressive at one point," he muttered a bit to himself.

She kinda was wanting to do the same thing but explore more then enjoy the view. Cora turned away from Lance again and started to look around once more, and of course she could not help but hear Lance say something about the tower when it was in its prime. She nodded in agreement even though Lance would not see it.
" I bet it was, kinda wish I could have seen the tower in its prime.. But know it looks to be a shadow of its former self.. I wonder why no one kept the up keep on it? It feels like a huge waste to me. But then again now days lots of things are wast.." Cora said and looked at Lance again with a smile. " My name is Cora by the way, whats your name if you don't mind me asking Sir." Cora asked. She would like to know the name of the man she was talking to. And it was polite to introduce her self. Also something about this man reminded her of Felis... She did not know why.. Cora just guessed it was the long blond hair. [/scrolly] |

The economy was starting to get better but was still in shambles of what it could had been and only a fragment of what it could have or should have been if not for that blasted winter that killed it so harshly. As the girl introduced herself, Lance turned his head back and nodded at her name, "Lance Rossi," he stated giving his full name rather than just the first. He didn't truly worry to much if this girl knew who he was not to mention the fact that he had grown up knowing this simply as courtesy and had passed it on to most of his children, or so he hoped at least. "And the economy is what crippled the tower, I believe," he finally stated. [/scrolly] |

He was related Felis.. But Felis said his family all where killed and only Rosa and himself remied... Or did she hear him wrong? Also that meant the man before her is of noble blood... Cora has had bad luck of running into nobles lately... But Lance seemed ok so she was not going to be rude to him unless he gave her a reason to be. Though out of habit she did tense up a little and become a little more guarded. Out of her dislike for most nobles.
When Lance said it was more the economy what killed the tower, Cora had to nod in agreement. If there was no money to pay for the up keep then yes. buildings like this tower would age faster and soon fall.. The falling part did not seem all that great though. " Yes, I see why that would be a issue.. Who knows though. Someday this tower could be restored.." Cora then started to walk around again and came to the spot where stairs would have lead up to this room. She then knelt down and looked, she kinda wished she would walk down the stairs and explore this place even more. But it would be fool hardy to try to even walk down the old crumbling stairs.

Sadly enough as he saw it at least, he knew that sort of motion anywhere and knew by definition that she was either trying to hide something or was not a fan of his name. Ah, whichever the case may have been, he wasn't too worried at the moment and would simply ask why if the question ever had a more logical reason to be brought up than just assumptions. Watching as Cora walked over towards where the stairs would have come up, Lance turned again when Cora had bent down and instead looked out again. "It's a long way down," he commented still looking out. "See any pokemon down there?" It was moer of a simple question rather than anything else. [/scrolly] |

It was not like she was going to try to walk down those aged steps. She knew better then that, though when he asked if she could see any Pokemon she leaned out a little farther to look, Though that was a mistake, the floor she was on was weak. " No, I don't- AHH!!"Cora screamed.
The floor gave out due to lack of support. Though Cora did not fall all the way down, she manged to grab hold of something ob the wall. Cora's heart raced as she opened her eyes and saw that she was still near the top and close to to the hole for the stairs. Though that did not bring much comfort. Ifs she did not try to get back up to that room she was a goner. She then tried to make a grab for the hole to try to pull her self back up. " Lance!! Help!!!" Cora cried as she reached up.

Releasing Sky, he made a directional point for the Pideot to fly down through the tower. The bird didn't need a second order and was already on his way. Bending down, Lance extended an arm. "Grab hold," he ordered as his voice changed due to the situation. Once he was sure that he had a hold of her in some fashion, Lance began to pull Cora back up through the floor. [/scrolly] |

With the other arm she made a grab for the side of the hole, and with the help of Lance was soon back in the tower's room. Cora then moved away from the hole crawling on her hands and knees. When she was away from the hole she stopped and tried to catch her breath. That was not a experons she wanted to go through ever again!! Though it was her fault and no one elses. Cora felt the adrenaline run through her body. She sat there for a minute trying to calm her self, Her body shakeing badly. " Th...Thanks... I...I..I'm sorry." Cora said shakely. [/scrolly] |

Lance breathed outwards and seemed to regain his previous air. "Are you alright though?" was all he asked back more or less dismissing the 'I'm sorry' and going for what was actually on his mind at that moment. [/scrolly] |

Her back to Lance for a minute as she trued to force her self to calm down. After a minuted she turned to face Lance with a weak smile and nodded" Yeah, I...I'm alright." She said letting out a nervous like laugh. Cora then looked off to the side and raised her hand to rub the back of her head like she was embarrassed about what just happened. She made a stupid mistake, and right in front of someone she just met.. " Just a little shaken, I will be fine in a few minutes." Cora again said with a nervous laugh. Trying to hid the fear she had just felt. Cora normally tried to be the strong one who showed no fear. But she could not help but show it this time around. [/scrolly] |

It wasn't a tattoo was it? No that couldn't be right... His eyes shifted over the girl's face and features trying to discern her as Elayne. However, he had remembered the young girl with darker hair and different features, but then who was this girl... if ... if not the one Madelyn gave up? Lance found his eyes shifting away, and slowly he breathed inwards staring out at the skyline now. He was quiet for a bit trying to figure out how best to question the girl without sounding so demanding, and after a bit, he finally came to what he wanted to say. "Have you always had that mark, a birth mark?" he asked calmly. [/scrolly] |

Normally she would be happy to talk about it, but after she met Elayne that kinda changed... Cora's became guarded once more and she stood up. She looked Lance, for a few minutes not saying a word. She then decided it would be best to answer.. He did just save her after all. " Yes, I born with it.." Cora said slowly. [/scrolly] |

Ok so this was not about Elayne.. It was about herself. Could Lance befriends with her so called mother or something?? She would think only family members or close family friends would even know about her.. Seeing as Mommy derest just let her go and even told Eyane she was not real... Cora took a step back from Lance without asnwering. Ok she really wanted to know how Lance knew the name her brith Mother had given her. " Y..Yes... Alicia is my middle name... My full name is Cora Alicia Bennett. But its just a middle name, nothing more." Cora lied. Not wanting to show she knew she was adopted and that she met Elayne and already learned some about her family. [/scrolly] |

However, the more logical part of himself then reminded him that anyone would be a tad unnerved at someone asking about a middle name that they had not given. Indeed, he wasn't one to jump to conclusions about anything. That meant there was a chance he was wrong, and he was not one to like being wrong. Then there was the matter on her birthmark...and then of course her last name.... Well, he'd continue the conversation lightly and not jump to any conclusions. "I see," he answered back before looking out the window again calmly. "Your full name flows rather well." After a moment, he looked back to her and offered something of a smile. "Do you know who I am?" he asked now ever so slightly deviating the conversation. [/scrolly] |

And she kinda had no choice put to tell him her full name. Thats something she did not normally tell people her full name. Not that she was trying to hid it. She liked it very much, just never saw the need to tell anyone. Cora never took her eyes off Lance as she tried ro read him. But he was very hard to read.. Then he had to ask if she knew who he was. But Cora gave a small smile at that. She could answer that truefully. " Lance Rossi as you told me before. Other then that no, I have no idea who you are." But she did know his family name... But she was not about to tell him that. [/scrolly] |

After a moment of looking out, he looked back again at Cora. "Also the previous Duke of the Eastern Woods," he answered back rather calmly. "And father to the newest one." He feel silent a moment planning what he wanted to say next. For a good two minutes he was simply silent and seemed to be staring directly at Cora despite the fact that he was staring off into space and possibly behind her. "And brother-in-law to a woman named Madelyn Laurent." [/scrolly] |
