Demeter has spent many of the past days in the infirmary watching over Carlotta and she's taking a small break over by the fire.

Her legs are curled up under her and she's staring into the fire, thinking about what Kore was like when she was that young though her hair was never quite that curly.

Knox is sitting at the bar, reading a stack of letters to his newspaper. He nods at the older woman (not recognizing her at all).

"Been outside?" He's not one for the fireplace, even with Rapunzel too often.

"Yeah. Have we met?" He thinks he's good with faces. It's a reporter thing.

He blinks. "Err...no offense, but you look older." That must be the worst haircut anyone ever got. "Not that you look bad. But...you were younger than me."

He thinks. "That's a god thing, right?

"I'm not good with Greek myth. Unless you count those old films as being accurate."

"Pretty darned good. Got to interview the commissioner of police, and got a good column from it, and got a lot of letters." As is evident from the stack on the bar. "Also got to celebrate a bit with Raps." He knows she likes to hear that, even if he doesn't talk about the details. "And you?"

"Just celebrating getting the interview. And each other. And Mike's baking skills." He doesn't sound as chipper as he did a moment ago, though.

"I know her. I remember that you and Malcolm keep an eye on her the way Raps and I used to watch over Allie." He misses Allie and hopes she's okay. "What happened?"

"Ow." He's imagining how bad the injury must have been. "That sounds brave of her. But she seems kinda fearless. Circus kids must all be like that."

"And really lucky she managed to get here from 1940-whenever. And that your boyfriend is a surgeon." Knox only knew that Malcolm was a shrink till now.

"I'm glad she's okay. Not that I wouldn't be glad that she wasn't if I didn't know her. But since I do..."

"I'll look for her, then. And see about having Raps visit, too.

"Think she'd like a gift?"

"Any hints? I'm not good with girls that age." Unless the girl in question is half alien and smarter than he'll ever be.

"How is she about pie?" Somewhere in the Barman's quarters, Mike's pie senses must be tingling.
