I appreciate everyone's concern, and if you want to work out bringing Grigori into the group with Prakkie, and can find a way to do so within the characters crowd shy personality, that would be great. I'm glad you're managing to entertain yourselves, but there is an encounter that I need to have happen, and it has to happen when Rain isn't present. I can put it off for a little bit though, if that would be better for now. It's not like Rain can't get sidetracked by new, shiny, and curious things. Heck even encountering another in her trade could get her sidetracked and result in her losing track of time. :-) If you're working up a subplot, I'd really rather not get in it's way when it won't hurt the major one.
