[SBLOCK=Isida]Let me know if attending this party is going to be an important plot point, as otherwise, Rayni doesn't want to risk getting any nearer to fellow elves who deal in intelligence than she absolutely must.
Having discovered the information for which she was searching and being disheartened by what she found, Rayni has entered a brief period of denial. To take her mind off the grim certainty that plagues her, she will engage with her companions. She knows she would only be a hindrance to Mel, but she makes sure to go see Bail's game and cheer him on, and she particularly tries to interface with Sheny, about whom she knows so little other than the certainty of their shared fear. Perhaps if they worked together, the two of them could find a way to transcend the bonds that bind them to their nightmares. So she asks Sheny to teach her more about meditation and Kalashtar ways while simultaneously delivering in full her promise to tell Sheny of her own people. I'm not sure what Sheny is doing that you mentioned above, but Rayni will offer to help if she can.[/SBLOCK]
