That's --

[But Raine chokes, then swallows hard on her words, swallowing them down like the lukewarm water in the canteen. The time for such thoughts or arguments was past, now, as she instead forces a nod in understanding as Sheena assists her to her feet. With the effect of the poison still ebbing away, the task is managed a lot easier than the effort to get to that location in the first place.

She reels at the thought of someone taking time away from any other people to look over her, on top of how much time they surely lost with her coming all the way out here in the first place, but that wasn't a battle to wage right now. You are that person. It stung, but didn't make it any less true.]

We'll see how things are... when we get back.

[A murmur, a concession perhaps an end to the conversation flow from Raine, now that walking and getting back was ahead of them. To focus, and not to freeze, however far they had managed to get from the camp on this quest. She shivers.]

[corrinesbell]

That one wasn't a suggestion. You need to get away from all of this for a little while.

[There's still a fight going on outside. Sheena takes them toward the 'back door' instead, hoping there still is one.]

Don't worry about trying to walk yourself if you can't yet.

[wise_maiden]

[There's some debris to pass through, some overturned furniture, though the quest proves fruitful; there is a door.]

... I don't think I can yet. I could use my staff --

[The thought breaks off, in some mild confusion. Her staff, had they left it? But even then, what would she do with it?]

[corrinesbell]

Your staff?

[Wait, she brought in a staff?

Damn.]

I don't have your staff, I was just gonna let you lean on me the rest of the way.

[wise_maiden]

[Forgotten, then. Did it matter? No, not really.]

As long as you think you can, then ...

[Another. Her thoughts went to that cursed one, of all things, though thankfully sealed, though she knew better.]

It's fine. They show up in the shop sometimes ...

[corrinesbell]

Then we'll worry about getting you one later. Let's go.

[They have to make it back to Luceti first. Then they can worry about new weapons. Raine's got mana whether she has a stick or not, anyway.]
