Hi. This is Raven.

If you've really got something important to say, just drop your message here.

If not... please avoid wasting both your time and mine. Beep!

Yeah, you're right about that. I know when Raphael was still here, she offered to help with those people with powers, but... I'm just not sure what we can do. The proverbial slap on the wrist isn't going to stop anyone.

[feel_nevermore]

Fat chance it would stop anyone, yeah.

You knew Raphael well?

[angle_on_it]

Kind of? I mean, it's hard to know a person that keeps to themselves like that, but I'd like to think we were good friends. She watched over me during that whole personality swap ordeal -- for days. Even after I was returned to normal. It worked out well for me, but...

[He frowns, looking down as he picks at his fingernails.] The last time we talked, she was mad at me for visiting the Animus.

[Raven smirks.] And yet I'd say you have some experience with that kind of people. [People who keep to themselves, she means. Raven, Jet...]

Hmm. Makes sense. Did you find out what your price was, by the way?

Offline

[angle_on_it]

Yeah, I did. [He shifts uncomfortably. It had been a hard conversation with Katara, and yet he has less feeling about it all than he should.]

[Sokka picks at his boot.]

They took the memory of my parents. I guess they were around when I was a kid...

[Raven moves closer to Sokka and slowly wraps her arms around him.] I'm sorry.

[The tribesman leans his head on to her shoulder and puts an arm around Raven in return.] It's okay. I mean, I can't feel like I lost anything if there was nothing there in the first place, right? [Sort of. It doesn't make a lot of sense when he thinks about it.]

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

I guess not. It must feel pretty weird, though.

Offline

[angle_on_it]

Not really. I mean, it feels... awkward when I'm around Katara because I don't know what to say or ask, but otherwise I don't think about it much.

Did you ever remember me talking about them before?

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

Actually, no. I don't remember you ever talking about them before.

Offline

[angle_on_it]

Then I guess not much has changed, really. I'm not really broken up about it. If and when I go home, I'll get to remember again.

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

True enough.

Then I take it you're still glad you made that deal with the Animus, right?

Offline

[angle_on_it]

Mm. [He nods and offers a smile.] Even if it didn't go exactly as planned and I've got these scars to prove I've been there, I'm still glad I could accomplish something.

What about you? Glad you could go with me so I didn't completely screw up?

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

I don't feel like I was actually much help. [Since they got separated when it would have mattered for her to be by his side.]

Offline

[angle_on_it]

I needed you there. I was-- I was so scared, Raven. You gave me strength to get past that and do what I needed to do.

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

Then I'm glad I was there when you needed me. And I'll try to be there everytime you need me. Though I would suggest avoiding the Inner City next time. [Having a giant spear ran through her is not the best memory ever as far as she's concernant.]

Especially since we both have our scars to prove we were there now.

Offline

[angle_on_it]

That goes for both of us, right? [Because he doesn't want Raven to keep getting put into that situation.]

Offline

[feel_nevermore]

[A small smirk.] Right.
