[Raine has spent much of her week attempting to handle several things at once, and as a result she looks both tired and slightly harried when she appears on video. All the same, there's something she hasn't handled which needs now to be outsourced.]

I'm looking for a Foreigner who arrived here a week or two ago. He's about a head taller than I am-- broad shoulders, auburn hair, carries a single longsword. His name is Kratos.

Should you see him, please don't try to apprehend or otherwise attack him. Simply inform him that I need to speak to him.

[She doesn't know why he's avoiding her. Although she has her suspicions, to confirm any of them would require talking to Kratos and finding out when he's from. Raine hesitates, then adds, very carefully:]

Depending on his point of origin, I may have some messages to relay to him from Lloyd.

...Thank you.

[And back to work. Perhaps this will bear fruit.]

Yes...it is at that.

[ruinsprofessor]

[A solemn, considered nod in return.]

Should he appear, I would hope that you find what you're looking for.

...Still, there's no use borrowing trouble.

[redlightgreenlight]

I don't even know what I'm looking for, Raine...

[a small sigh]

And trouble seems to always find me. There's no need to borrow it.

[ruinsprofessor]

Perhaps you would benefit from examining that, then.

[Raine's voice is as gentle as it reasonably gets; she's trying to help, in her way. At least they can agree on not borrowing trouble.]

[redlightgreenlight]

I shall try.


I wish you luck finding your friend.

[ruinsprofessor]

Thank you.

[...it really does mean something, these days.]

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis is glad that it means something.]

No thanks needed.
