The question drew Rayne's attention from the muted world she'd been observing, her own eyes closing as embarrassment settled into her gut. Before she could speak however she noticed other signs that something had happened, the beginning of a swollen eye as well as cuts along pale fingers. Licking her lips she gave the girl a fee moments to try to piece herself together, before softly whispering out her adresss. When they began to move once more, Rayne glanced out her window once more to keep from blatantly staring at the other girl. 

Her home was modest in size with brick walls, two stories in height with the forest surrounding in on all sides. The driveway was vacant of her parents cars and only held Samuel's, her own was still in the shop it seemed. Essa began to whine softly as they neared home, and Rayne could feel some of the tension in her shoulders lessen at the familiar sight. When the car came to a stop she saw the front door open to reveal her brother, a smile pulled her lips up as she opened her door. 

"Thank you...and drive safe." Was all that she could manage to say, a spike of unease filing her chest at the thought that the other would have to return to whatever had happened. With her book bag in hand she reached inside to pet Leo once more, before stepping back with Essa taking off towards the porch. "I'll...be seeing you." She added before offering a half-wave of her good hand, turning away to head inside. Samuel met her with his arms wide in what is their customary greeting, her face tucking into the curve of his neck as he hugged her close. 

"I have a new recipe I want to try. Inside, inside." He sang out excitedly even as he squeezed her once, she snorted in what she hoped would hide her slight wince of pain. The rain hadn't fully let up one bit, exhaling she pushed away from the warmth of her brothers arms to head inside. Out of her periphery she saw the wave Samuel offered Adrienne, before her attention was diverted to untying her boot laces. The sheer warmth she could feel the moment she walked into her own front door made her shudder, because the brunettes home hadn't held any she realized. It was a home where people lived but it held no memories within, like an abandoned project or something. It made her chest ache in a way it had never done before, sympathy but also anger coursing through her body. Before she could do something like storm off or punch a wall, Samuel had her wrist and was leading her towards the kitchen.
