When Raina caught up with Airiala she literally had to hold onto the door.
Apparently embarrassment and anger mixed together by the wind elemental meant total destruction. Everything in her bedroom was flying through the air, except the bed, which was inching its way around the room due to the force.
"Calm down, Airiala!" Raina yelled as she attempted to remain grounded.
Airiala looked over at the door and the wind blew harder. She marched over to Raina and started yelling.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Did you forget that some things are told to you in confidence that it would remain between us and not to be told to others? Why would you do something like that?"
Raina held onto the doorknob for dear life. "Calm down and I'll explain!" she yelled over the rushing wind.
Airiala took a deep breath as all her furniture slowly lowered itself to the ground. Once the wind had almost stopped did Raina allow herself to let go of the door.
"Now," Airiala said in a deathly calm voice, "explain."
Raina looked around the room and then back the still angry wind elemental. This was going to take some carefully planned words.
"I was unaware it was a secret first of all, also I didn't say anything except that you had told me something interesting and it was about him. I did not tell him what you said. I had hoped that you would."
"Why the hell would you think that?"
"Because," Raina said with a smirk, " you are obviously attracted to him."
"That's rid…"
"Is it?" Raina said with a raised eyebrow. "Then tell me O' Doubtful One, just how desirable is he without his shirt on?"
Airiala didn't answer, at least with words. Her turned a violent shade of red and turned from Raina in an attempt to hide it.
"Told you," Raina said smugly. "First step is denial, followed by acceptance, then by love, then sex, then happily-ever-after."
"Highly unlikely," Airiala said with her back still to Raina. "I have no such plans." She turned back to Raina with a confident look on her face, despite the fact that her face was still red. "I don't plan on living with Snape, sleeping with Snape, and I definably won't fall in love with Snape."
Airiala left the room after her little speech with her head held high, sure that the argument was over and done with.
Raina just stood there. She could hear Airiala's words, but in the back of her mind she was still hearing wedding bells for the future wedding of Airiala and Snape. She smiled widely in the now horribly destroyed room.
"Things don't always do the way we plan," she said before leaving the room carefully to do more research.
The Ultimate Truth was still eluding them, and the final battle was approaching. They would need to know it before then or all would be lost.
But that didn't mean that she couldn't play matchmaker for a couple of lost souls along the way.
