--"Raine Sage. I can't reach the console right now. If it's an emergency, don't wait to get a hold of me, keep moving. I'm sure I'll hear about it soon. If not, leave a message and I'll contact you when I can."

Oh, no. No wonder that had gone horribly. Valdis had, effectively, threatened Bakura's family. Raine covered her eyes briefly with one hand, sighing. "Yes, I'm not surprised," she said, resigned. "I would recommend that you avoid him in the future. He will have taken that personally, I think."

But the other woman had likely already come to that conclusion. "Doubly fortunate, then, that the confrontation didn't devolve."

"Fortunate, yes." Valdis rolled her eyes, "And don't worry, I tend to avoid the people who take extreme offense to my existence."

She had little interest in Bakura, he was a threat, but a threat that probably wouldn't mess with her. But Solomon, on the other hand, had called himself 'Death Bringer', something carrying far more weight in her mind that a simple man carrying a few souls.

"Then you have more sense than half the people I know," Raine said, light, with a faintly amused smile. Unfortunately true. "Our powers, and the planes. Was there anything else you wanted to discuss?"

It seemed like most of what Valdis had wanted had been covered, but she wouldn't be surprised if more had come up in the interim.

Considering that most of her curiosity had been satiated, and her original purpose for coming had been fulfilled, Valdis shook her head, "No. Thank you for your time."

She stood and made for the door, she had taken up enough of the mage's time for one day. But when she reached it, she turned back to where Raine was, "And thank you for the other stuff too."

Raine followed her to the door, and nodded acknowledgment. "You're welcome. Be careful, Valdis." She shut the door behind the woman, and when she had gone, exhaled heavily. Troubled times indeed, but at least other Foreigners were stepping up. There might be some hope for unified purpose yet.
