A | Healers' Guild | OPEN

Raine can be found at the Healers' Guild perhaps even more often now, even though she was supposed to be delegating to free up more of her time. With the recent loss of some personnel, and a recent brush with friends from home as well, she's been working as hard as she can, and possibly forgetting to take as many breaks as she should. At any point during most days she can be found tending patients, or in her office working at any number of administrative tasks, or making a beeline from point A to point B, walking briskly and with purpose. She's rarely in the entrance hall, but any kedan volunteer can point out where the head of the Guild has gotten to at most times.

Fairly generally, if she leaves on time, it's because someone else has reminded her to, whether it's Solomon coming to pull her away from things or one of her coworkers reminding her about the fine art of delegation.

There is only one instance in which she falls asleep on her desk.

After the seventh of the month, there will be one or two instances in which she can be found at the empty pool in the courtyard, looking visibly and unusually troubled.

B | markets | OPEN

Raine, mid-errands, has a basket under one arm and appears to have been sidetracked (yet again) by her questionable cooking choices. This is currently manifesting in the shape of a conversation with a shopkeeper about sea prunes.

She herself is intent, brow furrowed and questioning earnestly. The kedan appears somewhat more concerned. "No," he's saying, "you can't put sea prunes in cake."

Raine does not appear to believe him.

C | a particular tavern | closed to Lin and Pepper)

Finally following up on the lead Solomon uncovered for her regarding last month's anonymous donation, Raine goes from kedan orderly to a specific tavern where she has been told they usually drink, around the hours that would make sense for such a thing. She really should have made time for this earlier, but the practicalities of running the Guild combined with the pressures of the Milyn problems only made her busyness mount, instead of easing.

In contrast, it's almost pleasantly simple just to go out to a tavern with a friend. Even if there is an ulterior motive. Raine invited Pepper half because she really could use a second point of view on this problem, and half because she wanted an excuse to spend time with a friend, in the middle of everything else that's happening.

She's looking for a scrawny kedan with colourful hair and a stutter, and she'll head his way when she spots him.

"I've been to the comet," Raine said wryly. "It truly is that, but it has a city built into it-- it could certainly have been used as transport from one planet to another, with sufficient motivation. It was locked in orbit around our world, however."

Was.

She didn't plan to go into her viability as a hybrid with someone she'd just met, either, but some of the simpler nuances could be elucidated. "It usually leads to minor cosmetic mutations," she explained, tugging on an errant strand of white hair by way of demonstration. "That, and the ability to sense mana. Naturally, to humans, I look more elven, while to elves, I look more human. All the same, my own case is fairly mild. One of the Grand Cardinals had black sclera, for instance. I don't know if humans are capable of reproducing with dwarves." That was a different matter. Raine stopped there, looking thoughtful.

Kylo shrugged, nothing to do but admit to his mistake. "Well, in that case I'll have to concede defeat and admit it is indeed a come, won't I?" He sounded rather amused. If he had to be wrong about something, he'd like it to be such a minor thing. "I'd like to hear more about it, sometime, if you don't mind sharing. Both about the comet city, and maybe half-elves." And how they passed, or did not. There seemed to be a story to it, one which it was too early to dig for.

He pushed himself away from the bed he had been leaning against. "Even so, I think we have both been given many things to think about. Do you require more tests from me today?"

"I don't mind. It's certainly interesting, talking about it with someone who has no context." He had no understanding of the thousands of years of racial tension that had shaped her world. Raine preferred it that way, in some respects. "And no, I don't need anything else from you today. The offer will remain open: let me know when you make up your mind."

[no_light]

"I will," he said, giving her another sharp nod. "I'll in touch with you when I'm ready." And then he would simply have to hope Raine was amenable to teaching him, too. "And if not, I would still like to hear more about the comet sometimes, and the elves who live on it."

Raine inclined her head, a careful nod of acknowledgment. "I'm not difficult to find," she said. "In either case. It's been interesting to meet you." Whether or not it was a pleasure she was still considering, but it had certainly been an educational experience.
