Thank goodness for Raine's quickness, not that Rue and the owlbeast are having a difficult time. It's actually quite nice, simply sitting with them in the living room and enjoying one another's company. It isn't exactly riveting conversation, but it's easy.

And Rue could use easy right about now.

But Raine busts in and the owlbeast bristles up, moving to circle the newcomer. Rue follows to rest a paw at it's back.

"Please, I'm certain anything you try would be more successful than my idea of simply sitting around until she returned back to normal."
