If Raven looks distracted, it's probably because she is. Taking care of Charles, making sure he's safe, sometimes feels like a full-time job, even if it's a job she's happily taken. She doesn't, in fact, expect to be addressed and so is a bit startled when she realizes that the woman is talking to her. Her smile is a bit rueful. She doesn't want to be a hermit even though she's made herself one.
"I probably would be if I stopped worrying about my brother. Especially when he seems perfectly fine." Some might mistake Raven for the elder sister, looking after her younger brother and it feels like that sometimes. He might be two years older, but he still needs someone to take care of him. At least be there for him. "This place is spectacular. I haven't seen anything quite like it before."
