[A chilly day for late April finds Raine in the woods not too far from the 7th community building. She's not intending to remain out for long; only in the afternoon, while it's still light outside; it's the first time she's been out in a few days due to a certain incident. The chill in the air has her bundled up a little more - wearing a

[also in the woods, and also looking for something. When she catches sight of Raine, Sheena's personal tell-the-world-my-secrets balloon contains Genis, then a sort of caricature of Raine with a question mark nearby, then Genis again]

[Raine doesn't see Sheena immediately, but when she looks over, she blinks slightly at the thought bubble then looks to see who it belongs to.] ... Sheena?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[her new mental picture is somehow conveying that Raine always looks strange without her usual orange robes]

Yeah, hey. Didn't expect to see you out here.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I could say the same about you. [She dusts a little at the coat.] Out on a patrol again?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[she nods. The thought bubble is flickering kind of fast right at the moment]

There's not much else for me to do, and with all this going on [motioning above her] I thought people might've slacked off on it.

What're you up to?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

It's very likely. Most people tend to be distracted by experiments. Especially since this is the first one we've had in a while.

I was just... looking for something. [Her own thought bubble is simply showing areas of ground for the moment.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

It's not the worst thing a group of New Feathers've had to deal with.

Didya lose something? [the most likely prospect - a book - pops into Sheena's mind] I can help you look if you want.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[She shrugs a little at the first part, but leaves it at that.]

I... did. [The bubble shows a little 'x' over the book as if to say that's not it, and back to the ground again.] I'm sure it'll turn up soon enough.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Two people looking is still better than one. What was it?

[Genis' face again]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

It was just... something small. [Her thought bubble... is somehow indicating that she feels guilty, though the reason for it isn't exactly clear. Of course, a universal sign for guilt can be related to handcuffs.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

You lost something of Regal's? [picturing him in his prison clothes, complete with handcuffs]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Regal? [For a moment the image fades to be replaced by question marks, before showing the ground again.] Oh... no, not at all.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[there's an image of Raine with an X over her mouth. For some reason, she's not saying what it is. This is a little suspicious.]

Then what?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[Raine lowers her head a little and shakes it slightly, then absently rubs at one of her wrists.] ... I apologize, Sheena. This isn't something I should be hiding, from you especially.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Then don't. What happened?

[because she can't stop herself from picturing random bad things that might be going on. And then some vague idea that she is a part of, since Raine said 'especially']

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[She shakes her head at Sheena's bubble.] It's not anything like that. It's just that I've... misplaced my exsphere, that's all.
