Raine was startled that the person sitting in front of them could see them. They stood their ground, but looked around for a moment at the forest in what seems to be a metal box. A cell. A containment room of sorts. They were unsettled to be in a place that looked similar to the woods at home, with a stranger, where the door disappeared into a tree. Raine had known Katie as the ADI’s only prisoner, but between the voice telling them to bring something, and the mere existence of the door…
They’d perhaps stumbled across a secret that the ADI was trying very hard to hide.
Raine’s attention returned to Milo, however, and they regarded the human (or, rather perhaps, human-looking being) with a guarded curiosity.
“You can see me?” They asked, quietly. “That means you can hear me too, doesn’t it.”
Raine took another moment to study the stranger, before they continued. They’d come equipped with their violin and a small bag, which they unzipped and produced a thermos- the milk and honey. They’d taken the prompt literally, but had even warmed it up for good measure. Maybe the unsettling secret basement stranger would be appreciative.
“I brought this.” They stepped forward, placed it down a few feet from Milo, before they returned to where they’d been standing. “For whoever would like it.”
