Cora did not like that at all. Then Lance went on to say he was a formal Duke and Father of the current one.. Felis, Cora thought. So he was related to Felis and Rosa... This time Cora held a poker face. She was not going to let Lance know she knew them. Cora also held her poker face when he said he was a brother in law to a woman named Madelyn Laurent... She did not know the first name but she did know the last.
That was Elayne's last name... Who was Madelyn? Could that be her birth Mother's name?? That would make Lance her Uncle!!Cora folded her arms and gave an annoyed look trying her best not to take the bait and act like she had no idea who those people where. " So your a former Duke huh? Well I'm not going to lie I find that kinda shocking. As for your child I have never seen the new Duke. I don't go out of my way to talk to nobles Lance. Why are you telling me your family tree anyway? I'm just a commoner, Like they would even want to talk to someone like me." Cora lied again. She just hoped Lance would buy this and stop trying to hint at something.... And she had an idea what he was hinting at. [/scrolly] |

"Your rather defensive, you realize," he stated rather easily not bothering to look at Cora directly to see whatever expression came onto her face. Her tone was enough of a clue. "And heh... he's far from a child," Lance murmured this part more to himself than to Cora. "On the note of commoners, it's a common misconception that nobility do strictly what they want and don't listen to the words of those that work for them and those that they work for." [/scrolly] |

She was starting not to like "Uncle" Lance to well... Though if she wanted to she could leave anytime she wanted. She did not have to stay and let Lance figure out who she is... But it seems like he was putting things together and quickly... And if she tried to leave he could still call out her little bluff..... But how did she know she could trust Lance?? If she where to say she knew who she was... She would give away she had met Elayne... Thats something she refused to do. The only thing she could think of was to bite the bait that Lance had set up for her.. But she must have already when he said she was getting defensive... Now Cora just glared at him with a full out glare. It was time to take the bait.. and hoped he would not find out she had met Elayne.
" What are you getting at Lance..." Cora asked still acting, she had an idea what he was getting at so she may as well ask right?. And it was the only way she knew how to go at the moment. " Does this have anything to do with my birth mark??" Cora asked full knowing that it did. If Lance was really her Mother's brother then yes he would know what happened her. " Its just a birth mark, nothing really spacial about it." [/scrolly] |

Lance blinked listening to Cora and noting that she was becoming even more adjudicated, it seemed. However, he had said nothing for a few moments. "I am not 'getting at' anything other than the fact that many people believe the nobles can stay in power without at least listening to some people. Especially with the kingdom the way it is today, it is not possible to get away with being too selfish without one's head being threatened with being cleaved clean off," he stated not looking at Cora and falling into silence. It was she that was bringing up the things now, its seemed. He'd backed her into a corner on accident, and she was starting to get sharp and bear fangs. [/scrolly] |

Some times her people reading sucked. So needless to say she turned beat red. Cora then walked away from Lance to the other side of the room. Man now what was she gonna do? She had read this all wrong! She knew she could just fly away on Charzard's back but that would not solve anything.. If Lance was really family could she trust him? Cora then sat down with her back on the wall and looked over at Lance. Here was her chance to know more about her Mother and the rest of her family... Eh.. All she could do was say sorry and hope for the best. Err... Sorry...." was all Cora could say for a moment. [/scrolly] |

When Cora stated that she was sorry, he finally looked back again. "It's fine," he answered back half smiling a little. "I didn't mean to nitpick into things. Again, you simply reminded me of someone." he answered back. A thought had come to Lance, and he had already decided to work with it. He'd allow her to come to him instead of the other way around.

Why was Lance so keen on finding out who she was? What would it matter anyway? She was just the thrown away child that everyone in her family forgotten.. Even though she knew some more about her past Cora saw no reason to tell the world... Well not yet anyway. She might someday of she really wanted to meet her so called mother. Cora then gave a sigh, she was going to have to talk to Lance. She just hoped he would not find out who she really was though. For she does not know if she could trust Lance... Uncle or not.. Cora then desided to ask the question she knew Lance was wanting to hear. " Who do I remind you of?" And in truth she did kinda want to know. [/scrolly] |

He simply wanted to make sure that his statement was clear and not confused in any fashion or form. "A niece of mine named Elayne," he answered back calmly. Indeed, Cora didn't remind him of Madelyn but the daughter she had raised. The birthmark, of course, was one key marker, but then again, he could be wrong. And Lance disliked being wrong.

So she raised a eye brow, As if she was wondering who Elayne was. " Oh? Cora said as if she was curious about this girl Elayne. " How do I remind you of her?" Cora asked. Yes, she would just act like she never learned about her past. It was the only way to keep Lance from knowing she had met Elayne, heh and later on when everything is out she can always say sorry to Uncle Lance for deceiving him. And she could tell him the reason why, but for now she was just going to answer or ask things depanding on what Lance's next moves would be. [/scrolly] |

"Your birthmark for one," he answered back in a matter of fact mannerism. However, he was careful to keep his voice in a teaching format after that. "And your general slight edginess as though you wish to try and keep something from me for another." A quiet chuckle escaped his mouth after this, and the somewhat old man shook his head a bit as though making it rather cloudy as to what he was actually saying. [/scrolly] |

But when he said she was keeping something from him, for a second she gave a shocked expression. Though Cora recovered quickly and gave a confused expression. " Keeping something from you?? I don't know what you mean... But does Elayne have the same birth mark as me or something? Cora asked, trying to get Lance off the topic that she has been keeping things from him. And that was true, but she had reasons. And until she knew she could trust Lance she would keep her secrets to her self. [/scrolly] |

Either way, he was far more skilled at this 'game' than he would let on and knew how to work around what she had said when it came down to it. "Indeed, she does," he answered back calmly looking at Cora. "A very special mark that was said to also belong to a sister that her mother swears she never had." These were facts. He was stating them, and if she continued to get defensive, then he knew she was either scared or unsure.... but for whatever reason, his gut was coming up solely with the first option. [/scrolly] |

What did you just walk into.. He is reading you to well..." Cora thought to her self as she blinked at Lance and looked at him as if he was nuts. She then laughed but it sounded more forced then she wanted it to. " Are you saying I could be that daughter?? Please tell me your joking?" Cora laughed standing up now. No way did she want Lance to tower over her if he came over to her. " I think you have the wrong girl, Sorry if I got any of your hopes up." Though Cora knew she's been had. She would not be able to keep this little ruse up for much longer. But she could at least keep the secret about Elayne safe... Or she hoped she could anyway. [/scrolly] |

"Ah, truly I didn't have hopes that were rising. I simply thought it rather curious," he answered back. Indeed, he wasn't one to judge exactly on such matters and wasn't one to raise his hopes on belief only. However, he still didn't want to give up on the idea for some reason. "Either way, I didn't come to interrogate a young woman," he stated putting his glasses back on and staring out the window. [/scrolly] |

Though she just sat back down and just looked at him wearily Ok she was going to give up trying to read him... He was impossible to read.. Yet he seemed to be reading her very well.. That was so unfair... But she knew it was pointless to try to keep this up. So she would say something that would surely give her away. But she had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. So what if people knew?? Though she did worry about the rebels if they found out.. But hey life was not ever perfect now was it? Cora looked at Lance and her heart started to race a little. " I see..." Cora said at first. Then she let out another sigh, " I ask again though why are you telling me about your family?" Cora did not want to say it right out. Not yet, she had changed her mind. " When they have nothing to do with me?" Cora asked trying to get Lance to say the reason. But she had a felling she would not get anything out of him. [/scrolly] |

Instead of waiting to get his thoughts in order, he had answered with the first true thing that came to mind. "And because you seem to be willing to listen for whatever reason, heh..." After a moment, he fell silent again and simply stared out watching as a flock of Pidgey went by. They seemed rather happy at the moment,m so he simply watched them. Besides, what did he need small birds for when he had a great flying type already? Heh. [/scrolly] |

He told her more about her family then she could have ever hoped to learn all by her self. Cora then decided to ask a dangerous question.. He seemed to believe there was girl who her Mother denies she had ever had.. A lost family member.. Cora then got her courage to ask. "Oh... Lance? I was wondering... The girl that the Mother denies she had.. If... If you found her. What would you do?" Cora asked trying act as if she was just curious. And trying to hid the fact she was a little worried.

Well that was an interesting question from the girl who had denied that she was the person in question. However, he said nothing about this and stared out the window calmly thinking it over. "I'd probably ask how she was doing and how life had been, possibly a few other things," he answered back leaving it rather vague indeed. It'd force Cora to say a bit more and at least appear interested if she wanted any other information. [/scrolly] |

She glared a little at Lance, Here he was so willing to talk now he calms up when she asked something about his supposedly long lost family member. Ok fine she would bite once again. But she had no idea what to say.. She would just have to wing it. " Would you try to reunite her with her family though? So she could meet them?" Cora knew she was on thin ice now.. How long would it take for Lance to connet the dots if he has not already? [/scrolly] |

She seemed a bit too interested to be just who she said she was and a little too.. honest to possibly be some sort of con-artist. (And that thought also had its pitsfalls seeing as he was there second, and he had told no one where he was going that day) "I'd probably be very careful about that situation and help her learn of her family and probably help her meet said family," he answered back watching as a cloud went by and a fog began to roll in.
