so long as you come home at the end of the day [July, catchall, open]
Characters: Raine Sage and OPEN
Date: mostly after 9th July, as attitudes will differ markedly before and after
Location: Many places: special mention for apartment in Earth, Healers' Guild in Water
Situation: lots.
Warnings/Rating: hold on to your feels, Raine's misplaced her husband. warnings updated as things change.
A | Healers' Guild | Open
Before the ninth, business is as usual; Raine is brisk and efficient. After the ninth, she makes a level attempt to throw herself into work, at the Guild long hours and busy more often than not. She may be found in her office, sometimes awake, sometimes passed out over her desk with the door ajar; down in Solomon's old laboratory space, sifting through his research; or with patients. She seems more tired, and she smiles less frequently, but she doesn't do her job with any less dedication.
B | park in Earth sector, later in the month | Open
When the familiar surroundings of her apartment get too much, and she's been nudged out of the Guild by coworkers, Raine walks, takes herself out to watch people and keep herself moving. Often she stops in a park, a little ways away from the more traveled areas, and sits to meditate, pale light glowing under her and at her fingertips. Focusing on her magic helps: it won't abide distraction, and she gives all her attention to the clean peace of mana and light, rather than emotion.
As a result, she will be easily startled.
C | Wildcard??? | Open
D | apartment | Sheena
Raine allots herself a few days, not so much to work through the loss as to try to hammer out the nuances of working around it. It may not be the best strategy, but it's what she has. She's not oblivious, all the while, to the food that appears while her remaining roommate disappears, but it takes her some time to actually catch Sheena in the apartment.
On Sheena's day off she taps on the closed door of the room, frowning slightly to herself. It's beginning to seem like Sheena's avoiding her, and if something's wrong with Sheena, Raine would prefer to address it now, before it becomes something worse.

makaricrow. c: other than that, let me know specifically if you need Raine before the ninth for some reason, since her attitude and mood will differ drastically before and after.]

"He loves you. You love him. That's not going away," she whispers. Solomon might be gone but his effect on people wouldn't fade so long as they remembered him. So long as someone remembered what they had, even if Raine ends up going home someday too. And maybe even when they all consciously forgot. "That's never going away."
no subject
She wanted longer. But that would always have been the case, even in the best world: she likely would outlive Solomon.
There isn't much way to make this better.
"I... need to get back to work," she says slowly, some few moments later.
no subject
Raine is probably going to work herself into the ground unless someone, or several someones, intervene. Briefly, Pepper actually tightens her hold before drawing back a little ways, leaving her hands on Raine's shoulders.
"You can let other people take care of things, for a while," she points out gently. "Let other people take care of you, too."
Her friend was, after all, a healer. Raine looked after people, and she did it very well, but to the point of stretching herself thin at the best of times. Stretching herself now seems like a recipe for disaster.
no subject
She tries to smile at Pepper; it doesn't really work. "Fletch has already insisted on taking over some of my duties," she says. "But really, I'll be better off if I'm doing something. I can't..."
Raine gestures with one hand, out of words for the moment. If she is left to sit and be by herself with little to take up her mind, it really will drive her mad. At least this way she can pursue the research which interests her most without worrying for all of her responsibilities, she supposes, even if it's research she'd rather be doing with Solomon.
There is no way around grief.
