Kain waited patiently for Eva to come out of the bathroom. As he stood there, he held on tightly to the doorframe. The tiefling knew he was mostly to blame for this. Never in his life would he ever thought he'd come face to face with someone he once tried to eradicate under the rule of Jadis, much less attempt to comfort them through a panic attack. Now with the chance to redeem himself, and to attempt to pay penance, he felt a deepening stirring to do for Eva what he had craved others would do for him way back when, and even now.
Kain was startled out of his thoughts when the door clicked, and out came the druid. When she gave her thanks, all he did was nod back to her. "I will not ask if you're all right," he said, for he knew (as would be the same with him) that the question was probably insensitive. No one is simply "all right" after experiencing such constant and heavy trauma. "Instead, do you feel calmer now?"
When mentioned that he should shower, Kain agreed silently. Lightly touching a part of his hair, he could feel the hardness of the dried blood on it , and cringed when touching it. "I will. You said we were meeting with Aslan today. Shall we go to the castle once we're ready?"

"No!" Rinnica exclaimed, a bit too quickly. "I-I mean, please stay! That's, if you'll forgive my morning mess." Rinnica looked around her area hurriedly, and quickly settled on a scarf. She pulled it and tied it around her hair, using it to make a quick ponytail. "You saw Elijah?" Rinnica then asked. She glanced to the regenerative potion and then huffed exasperatedly. "Oh sir, please don't tell me he delayed it because of work!"
"Oh, I--" Rinnica was about to respond, but she caught the hint of humor in Aslan's voice. She only sheepishly smiled and sat with her back against the bed. "Wh-whatever you prefer, sir," Rinnica then said. She couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach from the excitement of meeting the one that saved her, that pretty much has blessed her from afar since day one. "And thank you! I love it here at the castle. Thank you for allowing me to work here!"
When the Lion mentioned that he has heard her prayers, Rinnica's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment. Have mercy, the dryad thought. I was right, he did hear all of those daydreams! Rinnica figured that what she doesn't bring up won't be brought into the conversation. Rinnica fidgetted, and grabbed a pillow from her bed to hug it, and to secretly hide her face a bit as well. "Well, um, I wanted to uh... thank you, for saving me yesterday and uh... ask how your day was going ..." Rinnica mentally kicked herself for that last bit. What could she say though? Rinnica thought she wouldn't even get this far, but here she was, talking to Aslan himself.
