[The backdrop is the Healers' Guild, mid-day. Raine looks uncommonly somber, absent much of the warmth she's had in the last month, and her eyes are red if one looks close enough.]

Solomon Wreath has returned to his world.

[Her mouth trembles. With an effort of will, she straightens it out and keeps talking, her tone as cool and remote as she can possibly make it.]

If he had unfinished business I'm unaware of, I'll try to conclude it.

Bakura, Pepper, Adrien, please stop by when you can. He--

[She can't. Raine inhales, and it's ragged; she has to take a moment before she can speak again.]

There are some things you should have. Tony, I have some data for you as well.

[Business is easier for her to handle right now. Raine shakes her head.]

I can already tell some of you are going to try to drag me away from work. Please don't. I need to be busy.

[And that's enough of that. She has work to do.]

I'm... sorry to hear that. I was working on some translations for him. I would be willing to add them to the Healing library, if you'd like them.

[ruinsprofessor]

I... yes.

[Raine shakes her head as if to clear it.]

What were you translating? It may be worthwhile to continue the work.

[bostonhowler]

It is some anatomy and various other medical texts. I'm placing them in Ogham. I doubt many read it, but he seemed to think it worthwhile.

[ruinsprofessor]

Ogham...?

[It sounds familiar, and Raine should know it, but she's having more than a little difficulty clearing her mind.]

If he thought it was worthwhile, there's likely some merit to it. Does it lend itself to reading by touch, by any chance?

[bostonhowler]

An ancient language of the Celts, where I'm from.

And yes, it does, much more so than most.

[ruinsprofessor]

Ah-- yes, that would follow.

[Related to Ireland and suitable for a blind man. Of course.]

Go ahead and bring what you have by, then.

[bostonhowler]

When I have more, I'll bring it by. I don't want something incomplete to clutter up your time.

[ruinsprofessor]

All right. Thank you. I'm at the Guild most days.

Did he owe you anything further, for the translation?

[Raine means to clear any debts Solomon might have had, as well.]
