Raine... didn't know what to do with this, mostly because it was Kratos. As much as she could see an aesthetic appeal from an objective standpoint, the thought of anyone hitting on or otherwise flirting with Kratos simply didn't compute.

It took her a moment of speechlessness before she shook her head again. Foolish to get distracted by such matters while Valdis's restraint was a time-sensitive matter. "Very well," Raine said, with a sharp nod. "I'd like to speak to you later, about your methods-- but for now, Kratos and I can retreat to a safer distance while you finish up."
