[Action]

[Due to a variety of reasons, Raine hadn't been out and about the village for a few days, as was noted by how she was absent on the last two days of school. Of course, something like that can't last when you're the only one cooking in the household and the food supply is decreasing quicker than normal

[Of course they don't. Such is the case with Tir, who is in the store himself picking up his own groceries. He could simply hide behind the aisle and not to Raine. But that would be ridiculous and absurd. So he smiles and waves. He doesn't remember Raine from his introduction, unfortunately.]

[wise_maiden]

[He probably could easily get away with hiding, as Raine isn't about to intentionally approach anyone. The wave does catch her attention, at least, so she does her best to return both, before looking back toward the produce selection.]

[myruneatemydad]

[Well damn. Because Tir really needs to get some cabbage. And someone must have went on a cabbage raid, because there's only one left now. Does he take it or...?]

Did you need some cabbage?

[wise_maiden]

[Cabbage. She studies it thoughtfully, trying to think of any simple meals she could use it for. None are really coming to mind.]

Hm? Ah... no, it's not necessary. Go on ahead and take it, Tir.

[myruneatemydad]

I can come back for one later. [It'll give him time to remember who you are, since you know his name.]

[wise_maiden]

Are you certain?

[myruneatemydad]

Oh, of course. I'll probably have to make more than one trip anyway. [Someone needs to invent carts.]

[wise_maiden]

[It probably wouldn't be hard to put together a wagon, if there aren't any in the shops.]

... All right, then. Thank you. Ah, how is Ted? It feels as if it's been some time since I've seen him.

[myruneatemydad]

[He lowers his eyes at that.] He's doing fine. A lot better now since he was returned.

[wise_maiden]

Better... but is he still having some... difficulty?

[myruneatemydad]

It's nothing he can't handle.

[wise_maiden]

Mm. If you say so...

[myruneatemydad]

[That's about all Tir plans to say. He'll just steer the conversation somewhere less personal.]

How are you doing?

[wise_maiden]

[And onto something else personal. He's not the only secretive person around, after all.]

Hm? Well enough, thank you. [If distracted. Only just now does she even remember to retrieve the cabbage that initiated the discussion.]

[myruneatemydad]

[Well he SHOULD be. He's the protagonist! Her answer, however, is satisfactory enough. It's not as if he notices the fact he is distracted.]

You know, we only talked that one time. I think your name has slipped my mind.

[wise_maiden]

... My apologies. It's Raine Sage. I suppose it has been a bit of a while.
