OOM: Sometimes, Raven is a little less than kin and more than kind

[creator_raven]

Raven is, perhaps, often found in the rafters.

It allows him to see much.

He is a curious bird, after all.

And sometimes--sometimes hurt is not particularly instructive.

Which might be why he is waiting for Moiraine as she reaches the first landing on the stairs.

Hopefully she is of a mind to notice him before she hits his chest face-first.

Comments

[blue_ajah]

Even as sunk in her own thoughts as she is at the moment, it is still difficult to miss an obstacle such as this.

"Raven."

Her voice is tightly, carefully controlled, as is her manner.

"I am going upstairs; let me pass."

[creator_raven]

"No."

His voice is very quiet.

"I do not think you are meant for burrowing, Moiraine."

There is a half a beat of silence.

"And I have said before, I think, that I would prefer you not unravel."

[blue_ajah]

Her head jerks up in shock, and her gaze meets his for a long, frozen moment.

"I have no intention of unraveling."

This is even more tightly said than before.

[creator_raven]

"Snapping, then."

He is not smiling.

"Or possibly exploding messily. It is a thing I have seen before, so."
