Rukia nodded, a little relieved. Yuri knew Raven far more than she did, he would be able to know whether or not he should mention Raven's untimely demise in that vision, and how it affected them all. Then he asked about her, surprising her out of her pensiveness.
"Me?" She raised her head to blink at him owlishly, before glancing away. "Well...I caught a dinosaur, for part of my Beastmaster team." She'd been hurt pretty badly in the process, but the healing magic and items of this world held tremendous miraculous power. She didn't retain so much as a hint of a scar.
But it didn't really explain why she was acting so strangely, did it? And she could see that he was probably worried about her, which was why he'd bothered to ask. She was hesitant to speak about the matter; there were a lot of things she didn't easily share with anyone. But he'd demonstrated before that he wasn't the type to judge her for her foolishness, nor did he seem to think less of her when she'd showed him her flaws in the past. She didn't think he would look at her the way some of the others had when the vision had ended.
After a moment of quiet brooding, she came forward, pulling out a chair and sitting down with her hands folded beneath her chin. "We revisited the sage in Mysidia. He wanted to show us that there was danger inherent should he give us his knowledge, and we shared a dream about the future, two years from now, about what would have happened if he told us what he knew. In that future, I made a choice...one that others did not agree with. And I can't blame them for that." She closed her eyes. "I'd found a way to control the Calamity by merging with it. Yuri talked me out of it before the process was complete, but...the problem remains that I can't help wondering if it would have worked."
Her lashes parted as she sighed, staring down at the table. "And I'm not sure if I shouldn't look into it regardless, if it really comes down to that, and there's no other way to stop the Calamity from spreading. ...Tch." She frowned, furrowing her brow. "A foolish thing to dwell on, I'm aware. But it's been sitting heavily on my mind for quite some time."
