Raine clears her throat delicately. "I did," she says, as kindly as she can. "I needed to be sure of what it was, after all; and to be sure it was something I wanted." Or at least, something that would not have the courtesy to go away if ignored long enough, like some emotions.

She doesn't go very far when Sheena pulls back, keeps a hand on Sheena's shoulder and gives her a small, if fond, smile in return. "So your sleep was somewhat longer than anticipated. Are you... all right?"
