"Well...the flighty bit might be true," she says reluctantly. "Where I would normally brood for hours, I find my thoughts flowing to more pleasant topics automaticly. It takes a bit of willpower for me to focus on this for very long. And my self-control seems to be holding...at least for now."

Naraht has an incredible urge to hug Ray but manages to restrain herself. It's hard but she does it, remembering last night's encounter with Raven.

"Well, hatchmate-in-spirit," she says with a twinkle in her eye which does say that she'd rather be hugging right now but is trying to be good. "Thanks...I guess. I suppose this means I'd better steer clear of that Lobo fellow. Somehow, I don't think you trying to feed him his teeth would go very well."
