Raiden had, rather unfortunately for her in some ways, chosen exactly this moment to look up and around.
Her heart quite nearly stopped, and unthinkingly she jumped to her feet and ran after the figure even as it disappeared, forgetting Z'them and Adath and Lilith entirely in her panic. It couldn't be, it wasn't, definitely not, but she couldn't help but look-
She caught up, seized the girl's arm, and in an uncharacteristically harsh movement wrenched her around.
It was the worst and the best moment of her life.
"Sia?"

Insane eyes blinked back at Raiden, and the girl tilted her head all the way to the left, looking rather creepy. The giggling wasn't helping, especially since it seemed to have stopped the girl from talking. When she finally calmed down, she grinned at Raiden. "Who?" It was Sia's voice, except.... scratchy, higher pitched, and shrill. The girl wasn't Nastusia. She was what happened when Sia died.

((Oh my goodness, can't believe I forgot this thread... ><))
"Good Faranth," breathed Raiden. Tears stung her eyes, and she had to twist her hands together to keep from grabbing this... creature. No. It wasn't Sia. This wasn't her; this was an it. But it had her face, her voice, her hair.
But her eyes were gone, and that was how Raiden knew that Sia was worse than dead.
"S-Sia..." she rasped anyway, and felt her face twist into an agony of despair. "You don't know who I am..." She bit her lip and tried to get herself under control, to see this objectively the way she would treat a patient she didn't know. She drew a deep, steadying breath.
"I'm Raiden," she said, slowly and clearly, employing the tone she would use on a frightened animal. She held up her hands carefully to show that she wasn't going to hurt the girl. "Don't be frightened."
Adath, please tell Z'them that I'm going to need his help.
Confused and worried, the Storm obeyed.

Z'them got the message and immediately got up to go find where Raiden had run to. It hadn't been but a few moments since she had left, and he had been staring at the spot she vanished into the trees with a look of utter confusion on his face.
Arriving on the scene he saw Raiden and some other figure he couldn't distinguish. "Raiden, what do you need?" He asked, sounding curious and as well as confused. Of course, he would gladly help her with anything.
