Raine
A; open; the Guild; most mornings and afternoons;
As Raine is anticipating disaster, she spends more and more time at the Guild leading up to the Chihuelans’ presence. Even after they’re gone, she’ll be relatively easy to find here.
Sometimes she’ll be at the desk in the front hall, taking her turn handling people walking in the door like the rest of the healers and students. In such cases she usually has a book open in front of her, and is usually frowning. When she’s not immediately apparent, any of the kedan who also work there will be able to direct someone looking for Raine to her office, a small room deeper in the Guild, notably ornamented with an ever-increasing number of notebooks and a single extra chair.
She’ll often seem lost in thought; barring screaming and blood, it may take her a few moments to focus on the person in front of her.
B; open and/or Duke?; Earth Sector; pre-Chihuelans;
Some few early evenings, it's possible to find Raine in a small park a little ways from the place she and Solomon live; she often takes her practical arte work outside, when she has any in mind. Lately, though, she’s been taking these infrequent occasions more to just sit in peace-- it looks rather like she’s meditating, in fact, save perhaps for the pale glow around her hands.
Though her eyes are closed, she will look up as soon as anyone comes within twenty to thirty feet, focusing on the person as the glow fades. “Did you need something?”

China
C; open; Fire Sector; most times of the month;
It’s not difficult to track down China Sorrows, if you’re putting your mind to it; she doesn’t make a secret of where she lives, and she stands out regardless. Most people in the area can direct the asker to the place where the too-beautiful Foreigner lives. In this case it’s in one of the nicer areas in Fire, a place she’s spent a good deal of time warding and is now almost entirely comfortable in.
Previously during the summer, she was doing work with sigils on the door, inscribing intricate designs in primarily circular patterns for a day or two. Those are all invisible now, leaving only unremarkable door and walls and windows.
It is still most advisable to knock.
D; open; College campus; specifically during the Chihuelan visit;
China does not manage inconspicuous well, but her network of informants is still not what it was. Thus, there are days when she’ll find herself a bench or a fountain’s edge or something equally useful to sit on, and watch the comings and goings from the College from one direction or another.
Not obviously, of course, she always has her head bent over some paper or book and she’s always arrayed in that elegantly artless way that suggests she just happens to be in the perfect light, but she hasn’t taken up a sudden interest in craftswork.
People stop to look at her, but most of them manage to restrain the urge to throw themselves at her feet. Once in a while someone stops to talk to her; if it’s not someone with a useful piece of information for her, China is much less inclined to smile.

"The short answer is that it arrived at a later date," he said, head tipped to the side. "And the long answer would be... complicated."
That was to say, delving into things she hadn't asked about yet.
no subject
Either was some variety of insult, but it allowed Kane to pick the tenor of the conversation ongoing.
no subject
"It's outside the scope of questions we've asked so far," Cain said. Family. That was one move he was waiting to see if she would make; Cain could speak of his own, but generally abstained without proper prompting. It was definitely more complicated than anything else in his life.
no subject
She paused, and tilted her head a little, as if something had occurred to her. Ah. Of course. What they'd spoken of so far was mostly innocuous, so far as such things went. Magic, and the way it was passed down. "Personal, then?" China asked lightly.
no subject
"Familial," he corrected. A subset of personal, one that tended to get a rather different response from anything that had simply to do only with them. "I just didn't want to presume. If you're fine with talking about that, I can continue."
no subject
China weighed her curiosity and the usefulness of knowing as much as she could gather about Kane's particular talents against the topics that might come up and her ability to redirect around them, and made a decision. "I don't mind," she said with a little shrug, off-handed. "What there is of them to say."
