[closed] when it rains, it pours

Who: Edalyn Clawthorne, Raine Whispers. Closed, but others are free to say they witnessed this rather public episode!
When: Early september
Where: ADI grounds
Summary: Raine hasn't been telling Eda the whole truth, and she's absolutely fed up.

Warnings: arguments/fighting, chasing, possibly some silly magical dueling but no genuine/serious violence, (well intentioned) lying/mild manipulation, anxiety/paranoia, panic attacks, grief, (slapstick) body horror.

Discussion of: (ambiguously successful) attempted genocide, ambiguous fate of loved ones including children, near death experiences, injury (loss of limb), bigotry/government corruption.

Is Eda stalking her own ex--
friend--
roommate? Maybe, but desperate times call for slightly creepy desperate measures.

She wants to be happy that Raine is here, but something has felt off since they arrived. They’ve been vague on the details of what was happening in the Boiling Isles. They’ve been barely home, avoiding her, and acting more awkward and weird than usual. They’ve been making excuses every time she’s tried to ask if anything is wrong.

She wants to believe everything they've told her... but she knows they've lied to her before, convinced her they were brainwashed because they thought they knew what was best for her. The whole thing has her far more on edge than she wants to admit.

The last straw was what Donna told her. Raine claimed that they were fine when they got here, but now she hears that they weren’t. That they were hurt, weak, covered in cracks or veins of light.

Eda might be wrong, but that sounds an awful lot like their coven sigil being used against them. So how does that line up with Raine saying that they were still planning their rebellion, that they hadn’t been caught, that they still had time back home?

The answer is more obvious than she wants it to be: it doesn’t.

As far as Eda is concerned, all of these factors add up to a perfectly good explanation for the fact that she’s lurking in a bush, waiting to confront Raine when they leave the library. You know, like any reasonable concerned party would do.
