For a few moments after Alicia asked the question, no one seemed particularly concerned.
Bailey had been gone for some time, but with everything occupying their attention, no one had bothered keeping track of exactly how long it had been.
"I thought she went to the bathroom," Alicia eventually added. "She told me she'd be back."
Raven looked toward her with a confused expression, clearly having been under a different impression of where Bailey had gone.
"The bathroom? I thought she went to speak with Robera."
Alicia turned toward her, her own confusion beginning to show.
"When did she tell you that?"
"Earlier today."
Raven's answer came easily at first, although the more she thought about the conversation, the less certain she became.
Bailey hadn't actually told her that she was going to speak with Robera. She had mentioned wanting to speak with her, but at the time, she still hadn't decided what she wanted to do.
