[Accidental Voice/Action]

[The journal seems to have been knocked over, and is open enough to pick up some vague voices, until Raine's somewhat tired voice can be heard more clearly.]

Yes, there's an extra right here. [There's some silence for a few moments, before-]

Wait, what are you going to -- don't stick the pen in there!

Raine?

voice;

[wise_maiden]

... so this was what fell. [a small sigh as the book is picked up.]

Don't tell me that all of that recorded.

voice;

[loyalotter]

I wouldn't think 'everything' recorded. The earlier words couldn't be heard, but at the end you sounded as though you were attempting to prevent something. I was wondering if you were all right.

voice;

[wise_maiden]

I see. I was, but, there's not much that can be done about it right now. [Totally giving a look of disapproval at someone nearby.] I'm fine, Hermione; I'm sorry for startling you.

voice;

[loyalotter]

That's all right. [She's a worrier by nature sometimes.] I'm just glad everything's all right.

voice;

[wise_maiden]

They are for now, in any case. [Earlier in the week, not so much.] How have things been for you?

voice;

[loyalotter]

They've been- [Laughable, really.] -all right.

voice;

[wise_maiden]

[Such liars, these two are. Not that Raine's been in school to notice for herself.] That's good to hear.

voice;

[loyalotter]

[Seriously. Lucky for Hermione, though; she's been in a right mess lately.]

I hope I'll see you sometime soon again. The school's not the same without you.

voice;

[wise_maiden]

I should be back teaching soon, but you're welcome to come over for a visit, if you like.

voice;

[loyalotter]

[There's a pause.]

Thank you for the offer. Maybe someday soon, I will take your invitation. [Not right now, Raine. We're still dealing with things on the homefront.]

voice;

[wise_maiden]

[That sounded incredibly suspicious, and there's a pause to reflect that. But it's fine anyway; Raine still has things on her own homefront to take care of.]

... All right. It is a bit too cold for wandering around today, anyway. Just take care of yourself.

voice;

[loyalotter]

[she's aware, but time's just not on her side right now.]

Thank you, I will. Be careful yourself. I'd rather not hear that you've gotten sick.

voice;

[wise_maiden]

My health is hardly the reason why I haven't been teaching. Don't worry.

voice;

[loyalotter]

[Another pause.]

Are you sure you're all right?

[You're one to talk, Hermione.]

voice;

[wise_maiden]

Yes, I'm fine.
