[Raven needed the rain - the relentless, pounding and almost painful rain - to cleanse and...maybe attempt to heal her own brokenness inside.

She hadn't expected anyone else to be out in this - it was too wild out here, too intense for most peoples preferences, but she found that she liked the ...untameable qualities that the storm displayed.

Still doing her best to play 'patrol' - even without Bobby, she walks right up to the faun - she remembers him from a brief encounter - and looks down, yellow eyes cool as rail ran down her clothing and skin in rivulets.]

You should go inside.

[Raven hesitates at the question - she could tell him her real name, but that would mean later, when she was blonde and pretty and ‘normal’ again, he would be able to identify this…freak form of hers.

That…wouldn’t do. Only Bobby knew that Raven Darkholme and Mystique - blonde and beautiful and blue and freakish - were all one in the same, and it would stay that way.

She smiles at him, and offers a gloved hand - now ruined leather ones that she’d found in the Keep proper.]

Call me Mystique.

[Tumnus might be an emotional wreck right now, but he's not completely oblivious to the fact that his companion hesitates before answering. He wonders what that hesitation means .. is she debating telling him at all? Is she debating what to tell him?

Then she smiles and he returns the gestures, taking the hand she offers him. That had been a rather slow learned process - the handshake - but Lucy had taught him and her brothers and sister shared the gesture with him in their own time.

He didn't understand why humans shook hands, but he humored the gesture all the time when it was offered.]

A pleasure then Mystique .. and my most profound thanks for your time and concern .. I .. would not have thought such an exchange possible or likely before now. You may call me Tumnus.
