"It isn't being a drama queen when terrible things seem to happen continuously."

Rain turns to Rivers and begins the mock knight act yet again. It seemed to be the only thing that truly got to him, so she would keep it up until he stopped responding. "I guess you would know all about queens, my fair and beautiful princess. But I will ignore your rude remarks as my soul forever belongs to you, sweet damsel." She bends on knee and clutches his hand for effect. Then begins removing the restrictions from his mind except two: the one that kept him sane and the one that kept him from finding out about Narsh. After this is done, she resumes her standing position.

"Better? I hope you realize that I gave up Lalo's physical form to hear you complain about what we are doing, insult some of us, and be exasperated. Worst trade I ever made. And I wasn't going to ask you what should be done next. I could care less for prophecies at this point." For the most part, the restrictions were in place for safety sake and to bring him here. She had no idea what his point behind running away... It reminded her of Lance's constantly failed attempts to escape Sylvia. And then she stopped that train of thought realizing the implication behind it.

Rain is unhappy to hear the responses of her companions. She assumed Shade would jump at the idea, and Neil would follow suit after her convincing. And she thought Rivers would run off on his own. While she could understand the sentiment of being saved continuously or feeling powerless, she really did not wish to wait on this. Yet, it seemed that she didn't have any option not to.

"As far as Rivers has told me, Fate is an entity itself that pushes us along its preferred course of action. Supposedly, it saves us from ourselves. But I rather have the decisions of what happens in my life left to me."

"Our lives have been sort of tangled up in what Fate wants from us for awhile. There is a reason why we have a prophet following us. And there is probably a reason why everything that has happened has happened. We have sort of been guided along this whole time from the way I see it."

"Now, why us to take down Renji? Why does Renji exist in the first place? If every important is set into motion by some person, why take such long convoluted paths? Anyways, if I am going to take down Renji, I want it to be on MY terms. Not the terms that have been prescribed well in advance for me. But fine, if you rather do that first, I understand. I suppose we have Fate on our side for that fight, anyways..."

"As for travelling with Dekar's group, we don't know if they will be headed the same way yet. I guess we should wait until Neil regains some of his ability to control his power before setting off to do anything. And, Neil, I am sure that you will. I need to get better at fighting with a synthesized Lalo than a separate one as well. Miss having a mount though. As for the cover story of a band, if we want to continue that, I will follow. But I think it would be better to pretend to be mercenaries if we are following mercenaries. A band following a group of mercenaries seems strange."
