115. Light

Hey. We've got a lotta new people this month, huh? For anyone who's new, I'm Sheena. I think the guide answers just about every question, but I've been here for a really long time, so if anyone wanted to ask, I'm okay with answering about stuff.

I was thinking about trying out that battle arena thing. Anyone done it already and wanna tell me what it was like? If it's like the coliseum I dunno about trying it.

What would you guys think about having a winter, uh, festival thing like we did a couple years ago?

[Yuri]
I met your crazy rival.

[Raine]
Hey, are you up for visitors? I know it's gonna get late soon...but hopefully Albert'll forgive me.

[one that she's seen before, actually. The feeling matches a weapon of her own back home. Her fingers stop short of actually touching it, and she turns her head just enough to be able to see Raine's face. Why does she have this thing?]

[The weapon being unwrapped finally seems to get Raine's attention by the time Sheena looks back over at her.

She doesn't know what to say. It was yet something else she had been hiding. She's reminded of conversations that were long passed. Keeping things to herself and pushing others away. And it came so naturally, these days.]

When did it show up?

[she looks more spooked than anything else. Definitely not like she thinks Raine was intentionally hiding it - more like there is never a place in conversation for questions such as "So how about those evil weapons from home?"]

... Sometime last month. [...] I had asked Sokka to keep an eye out for any of my weapons showing up at the shop, since my last one isn't exactly functional anymore. And then the Heart of Chaos turned up.

You didn't...use it, right?

I... haven't used it. I only tried it the other day... when I wanted to see if it could help bring out my magic. But that didn't work. [Her expression pretty much indicates just how well that went.]

[there is a part of her that firmly believes these weapons can literally suck the life out of you and that is the sort of face she turns on Raine now. But only for a moment]

Well I'm glad it wasn't worse.

[They really don't know much about those weapons. They only have what they've witnessed and been told, but even then, there's likely much more to them.]

I was close... I know I was. But then, it ... [She shivers, glad that she's not holding the tea.] ... w-well. I won't be trying that again.

It what?

[now wait a minute. Raine hasn't turned that shade in a long time.] Never mind, you don't have to answer.

[but she quickly wraps it back up again and moves as far from it as she feels she needs to get - namely, back to that chair]

Guess that'll teach me to snoop around.

It's fine. I should have mentioned it sooner. The possibility of those weapons turning up here...

I totally get why it's never come up.

Feeling any better?

Yes, a little... [She moves to take another sip of the tea again.]

That's good. I'll go get you more if you finish that.

[She nods again.] ... All right. You don't want anything for yourself?

The stuff you've got out there in that kettle'd keep me awake for hours. [which Zelos will end up doing later, but.] I'm okay.

All right. But it is getting late, isn't it?

...D'you want me to go?

I'm not asking you to go... I just don't want you to end up inconvenienced.

[here Sheena puts her hands on her hips and grins]

Will you stop that? It's not an inconvenience to spend time with you.

I only meant that -- when you go home ... [She just shakes her head.] ... Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.

I'll stay a little while longer. I think Zelos can survive on his own for a few hours.

All right then.

...What happened to the staff you've always had?

[That small smile is gone pretty quickly, though she hides it with a sip of tea.] That's ...

It was broken. I should have brought it back to see if they could fix it at the weapon store, but at the time I never got to retrieve it.

Retrieve it from...?
