Ordinarily, Raine's approach to something so unpredictable and unknown would be to study it. However, that was... somewhat less than a viable solution in this case. Still, as Valdis went on, it looked rather like Raine wanted to be taking notes.
"Regardless of what it sought, that would have been the end result, would it not?" Raine wanted to know. She tapped her fingers against each other, thinking the rest over. "You're atypical for -- your kind -- in having a soul, by what you've said. That may alter the Void's behavior, correct? But if it doesn't desire your destruction, then why does it prey on your fears and failures, as you've mentioned? Unless it's in a bid to control you somehow... hm." Not enough information to theorize much further, though she was still struck by the resemblance, at least superficially, to the Devil's Arms.
"I suppose the next question is, would it judge Zorc's presence or activity as a threat to your survival?" Raine grimaced even as she said it. Zorc could never not be a threat, as far as she was concerned. Only a temporarily restrained one.
