[Derek's about to head off into the forest for his daily, er, 'spiritual communion', but he'll pause when he notices Raine pass by. he isn't into the trees yet, so he may be easy to spot. If she looks his way, he'll give a nod and a greeting smile.]

[wise_maiden]

[Despite being distracted, she's doing her best to pay attention to her surroundings. That includes noticing Derek's greeting, so she'll slow down and eventually stop when she's close enough. She needs a sip of that water anyway.]

Good morning.

[derek_bliss]

'Morning.

Out jogging, I see.

[wise_maiden]

I thought I'd take the opportunity to try something new. What brings you out this way?

[While not jogging herself, Buffy is out on Sunday morning. Her gears have been in top rotation ever since Albert had shared with her the potential draftee list.

So, this morning, Buffy is standing on the bridge near house twenty seven (which i assume is the path Raine is taking? if not, will alter!). She smiles to see Raine jogging and attempts to flag her down.]

[That would be the path. Raine dislikes that it has to pass over a bridge, but there's not much she can do about that. She does slow down and stop when she sees Buffy, of course.]

Good morning, Buffy.

[slaying]

Looking good. [She smiles.] Enjoying, I hope?

[wise_maiden]

Well it's... something different, anyway. How have you been holding up?

[Emil spots the jogger from his porch and... is that Raine? Jogging? He certainly never imagined her as the type to be much into athletics, but that just goes to show that you can't tell from appearances.]

Isn't it kind of hot to be out running like that?

[wise_maiden]

It'll get even warmer later in the day. It's fine enough for now.

[ratatosk_knight]

The heat really doesn't bother you?

It's not like this is the desert.

[blackenedchaos]

[A certain demon is trying to get the hell out of a building without any issue here, so he's just kind of wandering around and attempting to not go in the forest.

Seems like his path happens to cross Raine's.]

[wise_maiden]

[... Isn't it ironic, how certain distractions can put out of mind the existence of certain dangers? She stops herself as soon as the black knight crosses her path.]

[blackenedchaos]

[And he looks wary, and almost annoyed if anything. Still, he's not armed yet, but Raine likely knows from past encounters that that means nothing since he has magic too.

He really doesn't want to deal with such a tedious person right now to be honest and doesn't wish to risk more injuries when he just healed from when Moro thought he'd make a good chew toy...again.]

[wise_maiden]

[On the surface, she's as calm as possible, and studying him carefully. She is a little surprised that he is not attacking her outright, as was the case in their previous encounters, but understands that he could just be changing the rules. Or waiting.

She takes a step to the side.]

[Albert has made the short walk away from the house to the stable. It's perhaps his second or third time out of the house since the mushi incident. He stands inside the fence, brushing Astrid's mane quietly. He might be discussing Usagi's plans for Chibi-Usa's birthday.]

[That jog too a little longer than expected for various reasons, but eventually Raine makes her way back to the area. As she's on the wooded path, her trek takes her around house 50 before she emerges back onto the main path between it and the community building, though she pauses to take the last few sips of her canteen.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[As he's some distance away from the road, Albert doesn't notice Raine. Astrid, on the other hand, does; the horse flicks her ears and watches, almost confused by what Raine is doing.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[It doesn't take very long for Raine to finish the rest of her water. She's walking the rest of the way now that she's closer to the house. Since she's already outside, she decides to check on Astrid at the stable.

... And there's Albert. She blinks a little; she supposes that she shouldn't be too surprised.] ... I didn't expect to see you out here.
