Raine watched Hunter curl up tighter, and they wished they could do something to make him feel less.. awful.
"I uh.." Raine was caught off guard by Hunter's question- quite visibly so as well. Their fist covered their mouth as they had to think about their answer, but they lowered their hand back to their side as they began to speak.
"I.. did what I wanted. As much as a witch at that age could do, at least. That's not to say I didn't do a lot of things as a bard. I had been on the bard track since my parents put me at Saint Epiderm, and Eda had always been encouraging of it once we met and I moved to Hexside."
Raine hesitated for a moment. They wanted to talk about the things outside being a bard. They were so much more than just a bard. But everything past that was.. complicated.
"But I spent a lot of time with my friends and spent a lot of time alone with Eda. You wouldn't believe it, but Darius and Alador were friends with Eda and I when we were at Hexside. So was her sister, Lilith. We'd all play Grudgby together, and occasionally do.. very unfortunate theatre productions. We'd do things normal kids did. Until.."
They trailed off. Raine didn't know how much they should talk about the curse and breaking up with Eda. About the pressures to join the Bard Coven. About Lilith leaving to be apart of the Emperor's Coven and cutting everybody off. Of the nasty falling out between Darius and Alador. Of.. well. Everything about Odalia.
