OH GOSH, Judith loves Raven. She is kind of aware that he's not dealing well, but she doesn't know how to get through to him? So she wants to ask Raven what's wrong, but that leads to the potential of Raven turning around and asking her what's wrong, and she knows that would shut down the entire discussion. BUT SHE WORRIES ABOUT HIM, and it's not really helped by her current frame of mine.
I am not sure if the guild had been as fully formed when I last did this, but she is pretty damn grateful for Raven for giving her that option. Because it's something she can choose, aside from being forced into. So, she considers him close-- and she honestly understands the fondness she has of him in her memories. It just differs slightly than canon, because he is sort of the leader? Even though she doesn't actively view him as the leader of the guild, at least not like she views Yuri as the leader of the party. And she's fairly certain Raven wouldn't appreciate being made the leader, even though the guild was his idea.
She also is quietly amused by Yuri and Raven. Which is also something she won't ever say out loud, just occasionally imply.
AS FOR LAST THREAD, She honestly was, for a moment, "What do I do?" She wasn't expecting that, and it wasn't something she thought she would hear so... earnestly? from Raven. And because she's still stinging from Mal leaving, she wasn't really able to approach it like she normally would. She couldn't bring herself to play along that much, and instead focused on changing the conversation and getting him some water. She probably won't bring it up directly with him again-- as she assumes it wasn't, you know, honesty, versus Raven's coping mechanisms gone to extremes under the influence of alcohol. And because she herself isn't able to deal well right now either.
