#naraji

So the druid dropped dead as we were preparing for sleep. Raúl frantically tried to resurrect her and failed, broke down in hysterics, then watched her recover on her own as the goddess of death apparently finished needing to talk to her.

Naraji is deeply special to Raúl, as the person that instigated his turn away from the Dread and the first person in his life to show him compassion and kindness. She's like a baby sister to him, as stubborn as she can be, and he's always wanted a sibling. For her to randomly drop dead in the night, and for her to be unreachable by revivify, was a true nightmare scenario for him. It messed up his kohl. (Kohl doesn't run so easy.)

Raúl finds it difficult to touch people; he was raised being told his kind were violent and uncontrollable, and that his touch was never wanted. Coupling that with his palms and fingers being coated in painful and sensitive burn scars, he doesn't touch people without a very good reason. When Naraji began to breathe again, he snatched her up in his arms and held her until she got her bearings.
