[Chapter 02 - SCENE] A Discussion Under the Moonlight

[ruinsruinsruins.livejournal.com]

Who: Raine Sage, Judith Sykes
Where: Keterburg Port
When: Rem Decan 30, Rem Day, ND 2018, after Raine and Genis get home.
Warnings: None so far.


An hour had passed since Judith left both Raine and Genis at their home, but Raine found herself unable to sleep. Genis was already snoring the night away in his room, but even though it was dark, it was only about ten at night. Raine typically spent this time to grade papers, but considering that she was off this school year there wasn't much to do... old habits die hard, as they say.

It would be a good time for a walk.

The port was quiet at night, since a lot of shipments didn't arrive until early in the morning. A single lighthouse still kept the bay lit, though Luna, the moon, was shining brightly as ever reflecting Rem's, the sun's, light. Raine wasn't a romantic, but standing on a bridge in the middle of the night was always a calm and serene experience. Yes... a lesson Atwight attempted to teach her, after all. Raine was so busy her entire life studying, she never had the opportunity to just stand still and enjoy the serenity around her.

But the pain was still there. Where she came from, serenity didn't exist... not when the Collapse of Hod happened.

Perhaps... traveling a bit would let Raine have someone prove her so desperately wrong. That she could finally trust someone... anybody again. And there was also a chance that she'd be disappointed as well.

Raine thought that perhaps you could only become an adult by the amount of tears you've shed. But she definitely wanted to be proved wrong.

She took Judith's outstretched hand, and smiled. "It will be a pleasure working with you."
