Molly and Cain come down the stairs refreshed after an afternoon nap. They are holding hands and seem at ease, but Molly is keeping a careful eye out for anyone who might be paying Cain undo attention.

They choose a table with a good view of the rest of the bar, and order some dinner.

Feel free to come and chat!

[[ooc: remember that Cain as lost his memory, and will not remember your pup unless he has been reintroduced since his accident.]]

*Alia spots Cain and walks over soundlessly*

Greetings.

Molly looks at Cain as if to say that she doesn't know this woman.

"Hello."

he looks up and nods, but his eyes show no recognition.

"Hello? I'm sorry... Have we met before?"

He offers a small smile.

"I cant remember much of my past."

*She looks surprised*

My...my name is Alia, Alia Atreides. We've met. You were...kind to me.

"I'm sorry. What Cain means to say, is that he's lost his memory. He had a rather bad head injury last Sunday, and he doesn't remember anything from before the time that he woke up in the infirmary here."

She holds out a hand politely.

"I'm Molly. Cain's been staying with me while he recovers."

Cain ducks his head.

"I'm sorry... I am glad I was kind. I hve been trying to remember and ... so far nothing has come back. Did we know each other long?"

He searches her eyes.

*Alia looks at Molly's hand, has no idea what to do with it, and gracefully ignores it. She looks at Cain*

Only two days. You helped me with the snow.

It's better than when Ghanima spit at her upon their handshake.

Molly lowers her hand, and watches to see how Cain handles the situation.

"I am sorry... I dont remember..."

He blinks.

"I am glad I helped... how are you?"

I am well, I suppose. It is difficult to assess.

Difficult to asses?

"Is there... something troubling you?"

Cain blinks again.

"I dont understand..."

*She takes a deep breath, knowing that she's already explained this to him. And that she doesn't think she trusts the new woman*

Her silence speaks volumes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so personal."

Her tone is cool and a bit stiff, but not quite unfriendly. If Cain has seen fit to help her before, she was probably all right.

He glances betwene them, perplexed.

"Where do you come from, Alia?"

I was born and raised on Arrakis, my family is of Caladan.

*She bestows a glance on Molly*

No offense taken.

Molly nods.

"The desert planet. I met someone from Arrakis not long ago."

Cain's eyebrow goes up.

"There are more from her planet here?"

he glances over to Alia.

"What kind of planet is yours, if I may ask?"

What kind? It is the home of spice. The center of trade in the universe and seat of Emperor Muad'dib.

Molly raises her eyebrows at that. Ghanima had never mentioned anything like that.

"Perhaps the one I met was from a different version or another time in your world."

He listens and nods.

"Time seems to play games here, a lot. How long have you been here?"

Three weeks, this trip. I am...I believe Bound is the term you used.

Molly nods.

"I am, as well. Does time pass on your world while you are here?"

"I'm sorry you are Bound... I cant imagine ti is pleasant to be so."

It is miserable.

*She glances at Molly*

I don't know. I haven't been back.
