Sometime after Rinoa's "visit", Ellone had managed to free them both from their restraints using her magic. Something that Raine was still not at all comfortable with. But with the amount of torture the girl had endured, it seemed a petty point to harp on, especially when Elle insisted she wasn't a sorceress.
Raine had other worries too.
Ellone's injuries had been extensive and in her desperation to do something for her adoptive daughter, Raien found she had a talent she wasn't aware of. Healing magic. Fear bubbled up in her at the first show of it, which came more out of instinct than any true understanding of what or how it happened. It terrified her. Look what horrors magic had wrought on her home, her family... on Rinoa. She would never forgive Rinoa for this.
Horrifying as the magic was for her, Raine persisted in bathing Ellone in as much of it as she could, then resting until she felt capable again. There were so many injuries on her, that even after all this time, they were only just starting to vanish.
So huddled on the floor together, she stroked Ellone's hair and sighed. "I'm sorry, Elle. I can't do anymore right now. Just a little rest first."
