[Kratos]

You saw it as well, I assume? Either way, we need to decide our next step.

[After the appearance of one of his 'old friends', Yuan has become extra cautious. He knows he can't avoid Mithos forever, but he sure as hell can try. At least until he's had a chance to discuss the matter with Kratos. That's why, as he makes his way through the village early in the morning, he may seem even more on edge than usual. Eyes shifting around suspiciously, occasionally throwing a glance over his shoulder, you know the drill.

Feel free to stop him anyway! He's headed for Kratos' house, but he'll stop by Raine's place while he's at it. This is partly to get her opinion on the situation and partly to see how she's doing.]

It's no trouble at all.

[He'll just let himself into the kitchen. Before long, he returns to the room with a glass of water in one hand.]

[wise_maiden]

[She hasn't moved very much, sitting up and looking at her hands as she waits.]

[He doesn't know if Raine's in any state to hold a glass, but there's only one way to find out. He'll hold it out to her and see if she takes it.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[She takes the glass slowly, with a wince. Her hands are mostly wrapped again, and she has to use both hands to keep the glass steady enough for her to sip]

[fortunefail]

[He's not backing away just yet. Should the glass slip from Raine's grasp, he'll be ready to try and catch it.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[She luckily manages not to drop it, but after a second sip looks back toward him.] ... Take it. Please.

[action]

[fortunefail]

[Hm. Either Raine's not thirsty, or she's in more pain than she's letting on. Yuan takes the glass again, placing it on the nearby table instead.] You don't need anything else?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[The things she needs aren't exactly ones she can ask for. She lowers her head, shaking it a little.] ... no. There's nothing else.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Then, I'll be taking my leave now. Try not to push yourself. [Also, if he doesn't hear from Raine again in the next few days, he'll probably end up paying her another visit.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... I'll be fine. Thank you for stopping by. [She does appreciate the visit. It's not very likely that he'd hear from her though.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

Take care. [Aaand he's outta here.]
