"Argh, what's the point of obscure references if nobody ever gets it!" The warrior's complaint was directed more towards herself than to anybody else in particular. She gave it one last shot before giving it up as a lost cause: "The name Youmu ring any bells?<em>Touhou</em>?<em>Danmaku</em>?" A canteen of cool, refreshing water reached Rayne's lips. "Sorry, Rayne, I got carried away there. I haven't met anybody who got the reference ever since the Change."<br/><br/>"Is that your Griffon? I'm sorry, but it's too late for it - you'll probably have to resurrect it back in town." The woman pulled Rayne up onto her feet, only to discover that the arcane archer didn't even have the strength to remain standing under her own power. "A Shadow huh, yeah those are a pain in the ass unless you happen to have a ghost touch weapon. Here, drink this, we'll never make it back to Stag's End unless you can ride. I know someone who can cure your blindness there." The glass neck of a potion bottle was tipped against her lips and the liquid (which reminded her of cough syrup) poured down her throat.<br/><br/>It was a potion of lesser restoration that restored a few points of her strength, enough for her to stagger around instead of lying helpless, at least. She was helped onto the back of a mount, not the familiar back of Dixon, but a horse. Seated behind the woman, it took all of Rayne's strength to cling onto her waist as she spurred her horse into the two-beat gait of a fast trot.<br/><br/>"So are you out here on a quest? Wiping out the fungal infestation or something like that?" The woman asked as they rode. "I'm out here looking for the White Stag, I'm searching all the forests around Stag's End but I haven't found any trace of it yet."
