For a long time, she was not sure how long, Raina had sat on the bench on the patio out back. Her Familiar, and the puppy, Bean, had come out of hiding to find her, but both her thoughts and speech had been too encrypted with the demon's doing to be able to communicate anything to either. Well, not that Bean would have been able to do much besides fetch her ball or sit and roll over. Knowing that her cell phone was lying, broken, on her front porch, and attempting to get to her house phone, on the kitchen counter would be too painful just then, Raina had simply sat.
It certainly did not help that she was in a state of mild shock as the events that had taken place had settled in.
There was not much for her to do then but look out over her torn garden, and the broken section of the back fence. At the demon body now in two pieces, in the green grass behind the fence, less than a dozen feet from the shattered wood that framed the hole in the fence. Oma lay at her feet, beside the shoes she had unstrapped and let fall to the ground, while Bean sat with her head in Raina's lap, Raina's unhurt hand petting the puppy's head absently.
With her mussed curls falling freely around her shoulders, and her right arm held close to her torso, the Elemental only turned her head when she heard Isaiah's voice, but wary of what might come from her lips, she did not immediately answer. Not until she actually saw him, and breathed his name in relief. That, at least, was recognizeable, unlike any previous attempts to speak before.
