Rain nodded and smiled as Soul turned on the lights that were available while she and Vin stacked up gears to make a ramp for Nor. "Nice to meet you, Vin. This place kind of broke down and let out all the Old Gods... crazy right? I hardly believe it myself."

She stood in such a way that she would catch Nor if she should fall down from the makeshift ramp, but thankfully that didn't happen. Rain wasn't certain she'd be able to take the pain of catching someone with the beating she had taken so far today. She watched Nor's reaction to Vin and then her gaze turned to him. She hadn't looked at him particularly closely until now, but she realized just how different his eye was from normal.

[quote]Nor stopped just before she might have touched him, and her eyes widened in hopelessness and fear. "You have an Old God inside you," she said, mostly for Rain's benefit. She took a step back away from him. "It is not benevolent."[/quote]

Panic spiked in Rain's chest as her heart jumped. "W-w-wait, you have an Old God in you?" She took a step back ready to make a run for it. "It isn't going to eat me is it?"

She then heard the howl of the big kitty and looked up to the top of the pit. Her heart sunk as she watched it took a leap off the edge to reach its prey. The whole point of jumping down this pit and taking the beating he did was so it wouldn't follow, and now that whole plan had been thrown out the window. Not that she had considered the fact it could probably manage to get down here in the first place.

"Oh shit," Her voice came out small and fearful. She came to the decision that she'd rather risk being with the person that had an Old God inside him already than the big kitty coming down to kill them now. She immediately got to work finishing the repairs to the elevator. If she rushed it, she might be able to finish it well enough for the elevator to work in only one direction: up. A full repair would just take too long.

She muttered repeatedly to herself. "I'm not going to be a kitty snack." and "Nuh-uh no God's taking my soul today."
